Comparison of Plant and Animal Cell
PLANT CELL
ANIMAL CELL
|(i) Cell wall of cellulose present
external boundary to cellmembrane
(i) Cell-wall absent. Protoplasm
bounded only by cell membrane
(ii) Plastids present
(ii) Plastids absent
(iii) Vacuoles in old cells | (iii) Vacuoles rarely seen PROTOPLASM AND ITS COMPOUNDS
The cell is a mass of living substance called protoplasm, bounded by a thin, delicate plasma membrane. The protoplasm of a cell contains a phenomenal number of molecules, organic and inorganic. According to Hofmeister, a rough estimate of the number of molecules in a single liver cell is— Proteins
53,000 x 10 Lipids
165,000 x 10 Small molecules
2.900,000 x 10 Water
225,000,000 x 10
