Glycolysis occur both in plants as well as animals.All living organisms need energy for carrying out life processes.Only green plants(cells containing chloroplasts) and cyanobacteria can prepare their own food.Glucose is main component utilised for energy.In any case,all living organisms retain enzymatic machinary to partially oxidise glucose by a process called glycolysis

Glyoxysome's are found in the peroxisomes of plant cells. They contain enzymes used in germinating plants and are not classes of cells in themself.

Glyoxysomes are not found in in animal cells. These are peroxisomes that are specifically found in plants and they contain enzymes that facilitate germination.

What parts do plant and animal cells have?

Plant cells have cell walls, chlorophyll, chloroplast, large vacuoles, and sometimes glyoxysomes.


What do peoxisomes do?

If you mean peroxisomes, in animal cells they carry the enzymes needed for biosynthetic pathways, metabolic pathways, and detoxification. In some plant cells they are called glyoxysomes and carry enzymes for glyoxylate cycle.

What are cell three main differences between plant cell and animal cell?

The major differences between plant cell and animal cell :-Animal cell-1. Cell wall is absent in animal cells.2. Chloroplasts and other plastids are generally absent.3. Glyoxysomes are absent in animal cell.4. Centrioles and centrosome in their cytoplasm is present.5. During cell division it forms amphiastral spindle.Plant cell-1. Cell wall is present in plant cell.2. Chloroplasts and other plastids are present.3. Glyoxysomes may be present in plant cell.4. Centrioles and centrosome are absent in plant cell.5. During cell division it forms anastral spindle.


What are the defferenciesand similarities of plant cell and animal cell?

differences include: 1.plant cell has cell wall whereas animal cell lacks cell wall. 2.plant cell cannot change its shape whereas animal cell often change its shape. 3.plant cell is usually larger in size but animal cell is comparatively smaller in size. 4.plant cell has fewer mitochondria but animal cell has numerous. 5.plant cells exposed to sunlight possess chlorophyll containing plastids called chloroplasts whereas clorophyll is absent in animal cells. 6.plant cells can synthesise all amino acids,vitamins and co-enzymes but animal cell can't synthesize all amino acids. 7.plant cell has glyoxysomes but animal cell has no glyoxysomes. 8.plant cell lacks centrioles whereas animal cell has centrioles. plastids are found in plant cells but lacks in animal cells. 9.nucleus lies in peripheral cytoplasm but in the centre in animal cells. 10.lysosomes are rare in plant cells but typical lysosomes occur in animal cells. cytokinesis occurs by cell plate method but in animal cells it occurs by constriction. 11.crystals may occur in plant cells but are absent in animal cells. 12.reserve food in plant cell is starch and fat but glycogen and fat in animal cell. similarities: 1.both have endoplasmic reticulum. 2.both have vacuoles. 3.both have mitochondrian. 4.plasma membrane is present in both. 5.microtubules are present in both. 6.both have nucleus. 7.micro filaments are present in both. 8.both have sap and tonoplasts.
