There are many things that are common between plant and animal cells, I'll name five. First off, both cells contain nuclei and both make up eukaryotes. Both types of cells have a cytoplasm which contains various organelles. Both plant and animal cells have a cell membrane that surrounds. The different types of cells contain many of the same organelles such as ribosomes, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles, and the mitochondria. Plant and animal cells are also very different, I will name four. The first one is that plants are surrounded by a cell wall and cell membrane while animal cells have only a cell membrane to protect them. In plant cells, they have one large vacuole while in an animal cell, they have many small ones that have the same function. Animal cells contain an organelle called centrioles which are used in cell division. The final reason is that in plant cells they have chloroplasts which contain a pigment called chlorophyll which takes the sunlight and converts it to food during
