What does the vacuole do? and how is it diffrent in plants vs animals cells

A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage and maintaining the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles. Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane.

What do scanning electron microscopes look at

How are proteins made?

By joining amino acids into long chains called polypeptides

What is the cell membrane?

Holds the cell together and controls what goes in and out
