The living cells in your body are there the kept your body together, kind of like tape or glue. Your cells are in every part of you, they are in your skin, organs, etc. The cells work to move blood through your body and actually enable you to live. Without cells there would be no humans.

∙ 12y agoPlant and animal cells share many parts, what makes them different is that plant cells have larger vacuoles, have a cell wall, and contain chloroplast. Vacuoles are basically storage units of the cell. They hold extra nutrients. In plants, the reason the vacuole is so big in plant cells is because it is full of water. When leaves on a plant shrivel up and die is because the vacuoles don't have any water in them. A cell wall is the hard outer part of the cell, and is the reason that plant cells appear rectangular unlike animal cells which vary in shape. Finally chloroplast is what gives plant leaves their green color.

Which is bigger animal cells or bacteria cells?
Plant cells are bigger than animal cells because they have a fixed shape and animal cells have an irregular shape. Plant cells also have bigger vacuoles and chloroplasts (which the animal doesn't have) therefore adding to its largeness.Edited answer:The largest single cell is an animal egg. this is so because in many cases (as in birds) this cell has to develop into a juvenile animal on its food reserves after getting fertilized.
