What major structure do plant and animal cells have that a bacterial cell does not?

∙ 13y ago
Eukaryotes such as plant and animals cells, have DNA bound in nucleii
Prokaryotes, such as bacterium, have free-floating DNA rings
this is the very defining feature of Eukaryotes versus Prokaryotes. In addition to this, Eukaryotes can have
membrane-bound organelles such as
chloroplast (plants only)
Mitochondria
endoplasmic reticulum
golgi apparatus
lysosomes
peroxosomes

∙ 11y agoA plant cell has a rigid outer layer called a cell wall, where a animal cell has a softer, more porous outer layer called a cell membrane.
A plant cell has an organelle called chloroplast, which helps produce food for the cell, by using the sun's energy. this organelle is green, because it contains chlorophyll. Animal cell do not have this organelle, because they can not produce there own food.

What is the major feature that plant cells have that animal cells do not have?
cell walls
During cytokinesis what is a major difference between cell division in plant and animal cells?
The major in cell division (cytokinesis) in plant and animal cells is in plant cells, meiosis is only undergone from a spore to a sporophyte (from 2n to n) whereas in the animal cells, meiosis splits the sex cells into 4 new cells.
What do plant cells have that animal cells don't?
Cell walls and chloroplasts are the major differences.
What structural features characterise prokaryotes?
"Prokaryotic cells differ significantly from eukaryotic cells. They don't have a membrane-bound nucleus and instead of having chromosomal DNA, their genetic information is in a circular loop called a plasmid. Bacterial cells are very small, roughly the size of an animal mitochondrion (about 1-2µm in diameter and 10 µm long). Prokaryotic cells feature three major shapes: rod shaped, spherical, and spiral. Instead of going through elaborate replication processes like eukaryotes, bacterial cells divide by binary fission."
What are the 3 major differences between animal and plant cells?
A plant cell has a cell wall, chloroplasts and a large vacuole and an animal cell doesn't have any of these.
What is the major differences between a bacterial cell and the cell of other organisms?
All bacterial cells do not have a nucleus but the cells of other animal have nucleus which is usually spherical or oval in shape inside it there are chromosomes that form a dense tangle referred to as chromatin.
What is the function of the animal cell wall?
By definition, animal cells have no cell wall -- only plant cells do. That being said, the major function of the cell wall in plant cells is to control cell pressure due to the influx and exit of water into and out of the cell. Turgor in the plant cell is part of what gives a plant structure and helps it "stand up." Animal cells do not need this characteristic, as they have other mechanisms for maintaining structure and shape.
What are the major parts of animal cells?
skin
What are the two major cell types?
Animal Cells and Plant Cells
What is the major feature plant cells have that animal cells do not have?
cell walls
What structure makes plants and animal cells different?
A plant cell contains a cell wall made from cellulose whereas an animal cell does not. Also, plant cells use photosynthesis to convert light energy into glucose because of the chloroplast. Under the microscope, plant cells tend to be more blocky and general in appearance and animal cells vary in size and shape.

cell walls
What is pseudomurin?
Pseudomurin is a major cell wall component of some archaea that differs from bacterial peptidoglycan in chemical structure.

What is the difference between animal and bacterial cells?
The differences are many. Bacterial cells are 1) prokaryotic; 2) do not have a nucleus; 3) chromosomal DNA is ribbon shaped and loose in the cytoplasm; 4) bacterial cells have cell walls; 5) bacteria do not have organelles and 6) they reproduce by binary fission Animal cells: 1) are eukaryotic; 2) have a well defined nucleus which holds chromosomal DNA; 3) have many organelles; 4) do not have cell walls;5) somatic cells reproduce by mitosis and 6) gametes are produced by meiosis.
