The plant and animal cells have their function. They share several similarities and differences from each other. The similarities include the presence of the major organelles in both cells. The animal cells and the plant cells are different in their sense. If you want to know more about the similarities between animal and plant cells, keep reading!

The plant and animal cells are considered eukaryotic cells. The similarities include the presence of organelles like cell nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, cell membrane, ribosomes, and Golgi apparatus.

Cell

The living things in the universe are assembled up of units called cells. A cell is known as the basic unit of life. The cells are regarded as the infinitesimal network that composes the primary structural and functional division of living organisms. The cells can be divided into several categories. Plant and animal cells can diverge into two classifications called prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are uncomplicated cells that is existing without a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. The eukaryotic cells are additionally complicated cells incorporating nuclear and cytoplasmic fabric encased by a cell membrane. The difference between both the cells makes it appealing in all its forms. The plants and animal cells can be categorized under eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells have a common cluster of characteristics. The plant and creature cells have their discrepancies.

Similarities Between Plant and Animal Cell

The major similarities between the plant and animal cells are noted below for easy access to the readers. Both plant and animal cells have the active presence of the cell surface membrane or plasma membrane. Both cells have a nucleus. The nucleus contains DNA. Both cells have nucleolus. The mitochondrion also known as the powerhouse of the cells is visible in both the plant and the animal cells.

Cell Membrane

The cell membrane is otherwise known as the plasma membrane. The cell membrane is the outer limiting membrane of the cell that encloses all the cell scopes. The cell membrane is constructed from proteins and lipids. The cell membrane acts as an interface between the cell organelles immersed in the cytoplasm within the enclosure and the extracellular liquid on the enclosure’s surface. This can cover up the entire cell. The plasma membrane is the common organelles in both plant and animal cells. The semi-permeable membrane enables the route of demanding implications from the external to the interior part of the cell. The same process happens and vice versa. The cell can be considered as the intricate web of inner membranes which encircle the distinguishable cell organelles. It comprises several membrane-enclosed enclosures within the cell.

Cell Nucleus

The hallmark of a eukaryotic cell is the existence of a membrane-bound core. The same term ‘eukaryotic’ implies retaining a ‘true nucleus’. Plants and animal cells have a nucleus. The nucleus is in the spheroidal body including several organelles, nucleolus, and chromosomes containing DNA. The nucleus is safeguarded within the nuclear membrane. The cell membrane helps from the nucleus to the cytoplasm The protein synthesis is controlled and the nucleus function as the major controlling unit. The nucleus controls various functions.

Endoplasmic Reticulum 

The endoplasmic reticulum is also considered the comprehensive membranous labyrinth It is accountable for half the absolute membrane in eukaryotic cells. The phrase ‘endoplasmic’ is coined to denote the presence within the cytoplasm and ‘reticulum’ directs to the network. The web of membranous sacs and tubules called cisternae is the major component of ER. The ER can be categorized as rough ER and smooth ER.

Mitochondria

They are cell organelles surrounded by membranes and are dispersed in the cytoplasm of the enclosure. Mitochondria feature an outward membrane that encompasses the fundamental layout and an internal membrane that retains a fluid-filled matrix. The internal membrane function as shelf-like cristae. It consists of 5-10 circular molecules of DNA. Mitochondria are enclosures accountable for the presentation of power in the formation of ATP. The mitochondria are popularly known as the powerhouse of the cell.

Ribosomes

Ribosomes are the tiny, globular, non-membranous organelles formed of ribonucleic acid (RNA). Ribosomes interweave 65% ribosomal RNA and 35% ribosomal proteins. They are obligated for protein synthesis. The ribosomes are considered the zones where the cell constructs proteins.

Golgi Apparatus

These are heaps of cisternae that are specifically dedicated to making up the proteins included in the ER. The major duty of the golgi apparatus is to convert proteins into more complicated molecules. The Golgi complex also includes vesicles. The molecular traffic is directed by the Golgi apparatus in the cell.

Vacuole

The fluid-filled sacs in the cytoplasm of cells are called the Vacuoles. The vacuoles are known for their indefinite shape or dimensions. The major operation cum function of vacuoles is storage. They are responsible for accumulating gases, fluid, nutrients, toxins, excrement material, etc. Vacuoles perform different forms in plant and animal cells. They maintain a considerable numeral of additional operations.

The presence of these organelles makes the plant and animal cells similar. If you are preparing for any of the competitive exams, the knowledge about the animal and plant world is quintessential.
