Plant and Animal Cells: A Comparison
3. Slide
60 seconds
Cell: The basic unit of life, composed of a membrane, cytoplasm, and genetic material. Plant Cell: A type of eukaryotic cell that contains a large central vacuole, chloroplasts, and a rigid cell wall. Animal Cell: A type of eukaryotic cell that lacks a cell wall and chloroplasts, but contains lysosomes, mitochondria, and other organelles.
Concepts:
4. Slide
