I... I don't know, I guess I just didn't study that well.
Hmph! I got an A+!
Oh no! I got a D on my Cells quiz!
Later that night...
Right now, you are looking at an animal and plant cell. Let us teach you about the differences and similarities between us!
What the!? What are you?
You don't?
Nope!
First things first, I, the animal cell, don't have a cell wall.
But I do! My cell wall provides me with both structural support and protection!
That's pretty cool!
I also don't have chloroplasts.
What are those?
Allow me to explain. Chloroplasts are cell organelles in which photosynthesis occurs.
I sure do!
Question...Do you have chloroplasts?
Here's something I have that the plant cell doesn't... Lysosomes! They are basically organelles that contain digestive enzymes which break down dead or unwanted organelles.
Cool!
Another difference is that my shape can be rectangular or square, whereas the animal cell's shape can be round or irregular.
Alright!
Now let's move on to the similarities. Firstly, we both have a nucleus which is the organelle that controls the cell activities.
Also, we both have mitochondrion, also known as the power house of the cell, since they release energy from food.
Woah!
Lastly, we both have ribosomes. They are found in the cell cytoplasm, and are the structures in which protein synthesis occurs.
Alright!
No problem!
I think I got the hang of it now! This is pretty easy! Thanks, guys!
Don't mention it!
Alright, class. Since not many of you were happy with your quiz results, we'll have to redo it.
