Animal cells have centrosomes (or a pair of centrioles), and lysosomes, whereas plant cells do not. Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, plasmodesmata, and plastids used for storage, and a large central vacuole, whereas animal cells do not.

Endoplasmic Reticulum ER

plasma membrane

There are 13 main parts of an animal cell: cell membrane, nucleus, nucleolus, nuclear membrane, cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, ribosomes, mitochondria, centrioles, cytoskeleton, vacuoles, and vesicles.

You already know that animal cells consist of a cell membrane, nucleus and a fluid cytoplasm. In this course you need to learn more about the functions of the cell membrane and the nucleus. You also need to learn about two other organelles which are found in the cytoplasm of animal cells.

Animal cell Like bacteria, animal cells have a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and DNA. The cytoskeleton provides support and internal transport for the cell. In addition, most animal cells have a nucleus, a special organelle that stores DNA. The DNA inside the nucleus is usually organized into strings called chromosomes.

Answer: No! Animal cells cannot be broken down further into living cells.

Answer. Plants photosynthesis which means they make their own food through sunlight to drive chemical reactions to produce sugars. Plants are producers which means animals are consumers, animals can’t make their own food because they lack chlorophyll and they have no chloroplasts in their cells like plants do.

Major structural differences between a plant and an animal cell include:

• Plant cells have a cell wall, but animals cells do not.
• Plant cells have chloroplasts, but animal cells do not.
• Plant cells usually have one or more large vacuole(s), while animal cells have smaller vacuoles, if any are present.

In nature, most cells are transparent and without color. Animal cells that have a lot of iron, like red blood cells, are deep red. Cells that contain the substance melanin are often brown.

The plant cell has a cell wall, chloroplasts, plastids, and a central vacuole—structures not found in animal cells. Plant cells do not have lysosomes or centrosomes.

DNA Model

The nucleus is the center core of an atom that has a positive charge and that contains most of the atom’s mass, or the central heart of an organization or group. An example of a nucleus is the center core of an atom.

1 : a usually round part of most cells that is enclosed in a double membrane, controls the activities of the cell, and contains the chromosomes. 2 : the central part of an atom that comprises nearly all of the atomic mass and that consists of protons and neutrons.

The nucleus is a collection of particles called protons, which are positively charged, and neutrons, which are electrically neutral. Protons and neutrons are in turn made up of particles called quarks. The chemical element of an atom is determined by the number of protons, or the atomic number, Z, of the nucleus.

Erythrocytes

Answer: Human ,lion and dog cells don’t have nucleus .

(prō-kăr′ē-ōt′) Any of a wide variety of one-celled organisms that lack a distinct cell nucleus or other structures bound by a membrane and that have DNA that is not organized into chromosomes.

eukaryotic

The nucleus is considered to be one of the most important structures of eukaryotic cells as it serves the function of information storage, retrieval and duplication of genetic information. It is a double membrane‐bound organelle that harbours the genetic material in the form of chromatin.

The nucleus is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Inside its fully enclosed nuclear membrane, it contains the majority of the cell’s genetic material. This material is organized as DNA molecules, along with a variety of proteins, to form chromosomes.

Shape and appearance Mostly the shape of the nucleus is spherical or oblong. Usually cells have one nucleus but many at times there are multinucleated cells. Multinucleation in cells may be due to karyokinesis (when cell undergoes nuclear division) or when cells fuse to form syncytium, like in mature muscle cells.
