Plant vs Animal Cell Explorer

Both have a membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus and mitochondria. Photosynthetic plant cells may have chloroplasts and a cell wall.

PRACTICAL WORKBENCH · EXPERIMENT 04

🧪 Comparative microscopy station: Compare two prepared slides

Plant cells typically show a cell wall and large central vacuole; animal cells do not have a cell wall.
