Which structures are found in animal cells
Animal Cell Plant Cell Cell wall Absent Present (formed of cellulose) Shape Round (irregular shape) Rectangular (fixed shape) Vacuole One or more small vacuoles (much smaller than plant cells). One, large central vacuole taking up 90% of cell volume. Centrioles Present in all animal cells Only present in lower plant forms. Chloroplast Animal cells don't have chloroplasts. Plant cells have chloroplasts because they make their own food. Cytoplasm Present Present Endoplasmic Reticulum (Smooth and Rough) Present Present Ribosomes Present Present Mitochondria Present Present Plastids Absent Present Golgi Apparatus Present Present Plasma Membrane Only cell membrane Cell wall and a cell membrane Microtubules/ Microfilaments Present Present Flagella May be found in some cells May be found in some cells Lysosomes Lysosomes occur in cytoplasm. Lysosomes usually not evident. Nucleus Present Present Cilia Present It is very rare.
pretty much has everything a plant cell has, except for the chloroplast since it cannot produce photosynthesis
