Plant and animal cells have certain structures in common they also have certain structures that are different Why?

They both evolved from the same multicellular organisms, so they have structures in common. But they did that a long time ago, so they have evolved different structures.

What are the common structures in all plants algal and animal cells?
All living things are made up of cells. The structures of different types of cells are related to their functions. Animal cells and plant cells have features in common, such as a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria and ribosomes. Plant and algal cells also have a cell wall, and often have chloroplasts and a permanent vacuole. Bacterial and yeast cells have different structures to animal and plant cells. Dissolved substances pass into and out of cells by diffusion.
Does homologous mean that structures are similar due to having common ancestry?
homologous structures- same structure/different functions in common ancestors analogous structures-same functions/differnt structures not in common ancestors vestigial-show evolutionary history/structures that arent used anymore (i.e. human appendix/human tailbone)
What are Structures in different organisms that share a common ancestry?
Homologous structure
What is analogous structures?
Structures that have similar functions in two organisms that have not evolved from a common ancestral form. and that is the opposite from homalongouse structure of course love summer miller
These are physical features shared by organisms with common ancestry they may have the same structure but different functions developmentally mature organisms?
homologous structures
What are the common structures in plant and animal cells?
Cell membrane

How are homologous structures different from analogous structures?
Yes, homologous structures have common bone and muscle structures suggesting that they came from an common ancestor while analogous structures do not share any similarity in features, suggesting that they derived from two separate origins.
What do common structures in two different species suggest?
They have a common ancestor they both might have evolved from.
What are structures that cover immature flowers?
There are different structures that cover immature flowers which will depend with the particular type of flower. The common structures are sepals, bracts and spikelets.
What are Structures in different organisms that share a common ancestry?
Homologous structure
Define homologous structures?
homologous structures is same structure,different function
How are analogous and homologous structures different?
They are different because homologous structures have the same structure, but serve a different function. Like mammal arms(human, bat and whales). Analogous structues are different structures, but serve the same function. For example, bat wings and butterfly wings.
Structures that share a common ancestory or a similar because they are modified versions of structures from a common ancestor are?
Homologous structures.
Are human arm and bat wing analagous structures?
They are analogous. The function is different, but they have a common ancestoral origin.
What is analogous structures?
Structures that have similar functions in two organisms that have not evolved from a common ancestral form. and that is the opposite from homalongouse structure of course love summer miller
