Animal and Plant Cell Functions

The video tutorial explores the differences and similarities between animal and plant cells. Both are eukaryotic, sharing features like a nucleus, mitochondria, and ribosomes. However, they differ in nutrition, with animal cells being heterotrophic and plant cells autotrophic. Plant cells have chloroplasts for photosynthesis, while animal cells rely on mitochondria for energy. Vacuoles in plant cells are large and singular, whereas animal cells have smaller, numerous vacuoles. Lysosomes are present in animal cells for digestion, unlike plant cells. The presence of a cell wall in plant cells provides rigidity, which is absent in animal cells.
