Question

1. describe at least four differences between the animal and plant cells shown in model 3.
2. the plant cells have cell walls, and animal cells do not.
3. animal cells don’t have a plastid, unlike plant cells.
4. the plant cell has a large central vacuole, and an animal cell doesn’t. they either have small ones or none.

plant cells have three organelles not found in animal cells. they include the cell wall, large central vacuole, and plastids (including chloroplasts).

1. complete the table below using the three plant organelles mentioned in the

Explanation:

To find a fourth difference, recall that plant cells have chloroplasts (a type of plastid) for photosynthesis, animal cells lack them. Also, animal cells have centrioles (involved in cell division), plant cells (except lower plants) don't. Another: Plant cells' shape is fixed (due to cell wall), animal cells are irregular. Let's use chloroplasts: Plant cells have chloroplasts (for photosynthesis), animal cells do not.

Answer:

1. Plant cells contain chloroplasts (for photosynthesis), while animal cells do not. (Other valid differences: Animal cells have centrioles, most plant cells do not; Plant cells have a fixed shape, animal cells have an irregular shape; etc.)
