functions of lysosomes

*carry out intracellular digestion

*it is responsible for degradation of worn out cells.hence it is called suidical bag.

*it also facilites the entry of sperm into egg.

What do plant and animal cells differ by?

1. Cell wall present in plant cells and absent in animal cells. 2. Centrioles present in animal cells and absent in plant cells. 3. Chloroplasts & other plastids are present in plant cells; these are absent in animal cells. 4. Plant cell usually has a large vacuole, animal cells have small vacules. 5. Lysosomes are present in animal cells, hardly seen in plant cell. 6. The cell shape is defined in plants due to presence of cell wall, it is irregular in animal cells.


What is in the plant cell but not in a animal cell?

Animal cells have three organelles which are not in plant cells:Centrioles - help with cell reproduction (exist in pairs in the cell).Lysosomes - destroy worn out parts of the cell and get rid of bacteriaFlagellum - act in self-propulsion or also called locomotion


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.


Where is a cell membrane found?

In a plant or animal cell and it... i dont really know...


Why is the cell wall absent in animal cell?

1) Define cell wall; 2) Animal cells are covered by a sugar-protein coat; 3) Animal cells are surrounded and protected by other Animal cells;

What are the difference of animal cell and plant cell?

Some notable differences are: 1. Plant Cell's have a cell wall, Animal Cell's don't. 2. A plant cell has a much larger vacuole. 3. Plant cell's contain chloroplasts and plastids. No animal cell's do. 4. All animal cell's contain centrioles, lysosomes and cillia. Only some plant cells do.

What are the 3 most common differences between plant and animal cells?

There are ALOT of differences. Depending on which grade you're in. Animal Cell - small vacuole Plant Cell - large vacuole (90% of cell) Animal Cell - Cell membrane Plant Cell - Cell membrane + cell wall Animal Cell - No chloroplasts Plant Cell - Chloroplasts Animal Cell - Funky shaped (any shape) Plant Cell - Rectangular Animal Cell - Hypotonic solution = bad Plant Cell - Hypotonic solution = good
