Summary Introduction
Introduction: All the living organisms are made up of cells, which are the basic fundamental unit of life. Cells can be differentiated into plant cells and animal cells. Both cells have almost similar functions, although they have a few differences in their structure. Plant cells and animal cells are the eukaryotic cells, which contain a nucleus and various organelles that help them to carry out specialized functions. Plant cells differ from the animal cells by the presence of cell wall, chloroplasts, and a central vacuole. Comparatively, plant cells are larger than animal cells.
