TRIBUNSTYLE.COM – Here are 10 differences plant cell and animal cell which not many people do not know, from the size, lysosomes, until silia.
Earth is inhabited by various living things, two of which are animals and plants.
Animals and plants are two living things that are very different from their habits, physique, and body functions.
plant cell and animal cell have differences, although in general the organelles are the same.
animal cell is the basic functional unit that makes up the animal body. As for plant cell are the basic functional units that make up the plant body.

Here are the differences plant cell and plant cell what you must know:
Plant cells are larger than animal cell. Reported from Microbe Notes, size plant cell range from 10 m to 100 m, whereas animal cell have cell sizes ranging from 10 m to 30 m.
Plant cells have a cell wall consisting of a cell membrane and cellulose which is rigid.
So that plant cell have a rigid shape such as a cube or rectangle and tend not to change.
Whereas animal cell do not have a cell wall, but only have a cell membrane. Unlike hard and rigid cell walls, cell membranes are thin and elastic. So that animal cell tend to be round to irregular in shape, following the contents of the organelles inside.
Animal cells and plant cells both have vacuoles, the only difference is their size. Plant cells have one large vacuole (occupying 90 percent of the cell volume), while animal cells have many small vacuoles.
Animal cells have lysosomes which contains digestive enzymes to break down food macromolecules and also hydrolytic enzymes that kill bacteria in the animal’s body.
Whereas plant cell often don’t have lysosomes, this is because the breakdown of molecular degradation has been handled by the Golgi bodies.
Well plant cell nor animal cell, both have mitochondria but only plant cell only have chloroplasts.
Reported from Lumen LearningChloroplasts are cell organelles that contain chlorophyll that can capture sunlight energy for photosynthesis.
It is the existence of chloroplasts that makes plants able to photosynthesize, while animals cannot.
Animal cells do not have plastids, whereas plant cell have plastids. plastids on animal cell It helps in photosynthesis and provides color (pigment) to plants.
Animal cells have centriole organelles that help the process of cell division in the DNA replication process. Whereas plant cell does not have centriole organelles in it. This happens because of the systematic cytokinesis in division animal cell and different plants.
Cilia are organelles responsible for cell movement. Animal cells have silia because there is a lot of movement in his body. However plant cell tends to be stable and immobile, so it is not found silia as its organelles.
Animal cells do not have plasmodemata, whereas plant cell have it. Reported from Molecular Expressions, plasmodemata function in plant cell is a living bridge that connects the cytoplasm plant cell and allows communication between cells.
Reported from Thought Co, plant cell can synthesize all kinds of amino acids (20 types) while animal cell only able to synthesize 10 types of amino acids. Animal cells are also unable to synthesize vitamins and coenzymes plant cell able to do it.
