Plant vs. Animal cells

what do animal cells have that plant cells DO NOT have?

lysosomes

In what organelle does cellular respiration occur?

mitochondria

Why does a plant cell have both a cell wall AND a cell membrane?

the cell wall holds the shape of the cell itself where the cell membrane is in charge of what enters and exits the cell (nutrients and waste)

Name three differences between plant and animal cells

1-plant cells have box-like shape due to their rigid cell walls 2-plants cells have a cell wall and animal cells don't 3-plant cells have chloroplasts and animal cells don't 4 plant cells have a much larger central vacuole

Why is it necessary for plants to have chloroplasts?

The chloroplasts allow them to produce carbohydrates (in the form of glucose) in order to get food

Do plant and animal cells both have mitochondria

YES

Plants have both mitochondria and chloroplasts; they can produce their own glucose to fuel cellular respiration. Animals, on the other hand, have only mitochondria. If an animal eats only meat what would be its source of glucose?

animals that only eat meat must eat the meat of herbivores (animals that eat plants) in order to get glucose

in what organelle does photosynthesis occur? Do both plant and animal cells have this?

chloroplasts; only plants cells have chloroplasts
