Why does the plant cell have more organelles than the animal cell?

This is probably because in addition to carrying out all of the same functions as the animal cell, the plant cell must also carry out photosynthesis to make its own food. Animal cells ingest food and use digestion to obtain energy from it, so the cells do not have to make it individually. Hence, plant cells have chloroplasts.
Also, plant cells must in general have more structure than animal cells. Hence the permenant vacuole and the cellulose cell wall.

Which has more cells plants or animals?
The plant cell is more complex. This is because unlike the animal cell the plant cell has a cell wall and chloroplasts. The cell wall gives the cell shape and a "suit of armor" (protection). The chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which is responsible for the photosynthesis of a plant.
Is the nucleus plant or animal?
A Nucleus is not a cell. It is found in Eukaryotic cells and the necleus controls the cell. You will not find a Nucleus in a Prokaryotic cell. Prokaryotic cells are simpler and do not have a nucleus or organelles. A Eukaryotic cell is more complex and has a necleus and organelles.
Were you able to observe any of these organelles in these Cells?
what organelles are you referring to? Plants and animal cells each have a few organelles that the other one doesn't. for instant, plant cells have cell wall, but animal cells don't. and animal cells have centrioles but plant cells don't....
How are bacterial cells different from plant and animal cells?
Bacterial cells different from plant and animal cells is because plant has a cell wall and animal cells don't.
How you decide whether an unknown cell was an animal cell a plant cell or a bacterial cell?
A plant cell in general will have a large central vacuole.An animal cell will have small vacuoles.A bacterial cell will have a flagella.Animal cells and bacterial cells do not have the green pigment chloroplast as compared to a plant cell.
Which has more enzymes plants or animals?
The Plant Cell Has More. The Plant Cell Has 10 Organelles And The Animal Cell Has 7 Organelles.
What are the differences between organelles of animal and plant cells?
The plant cell contains : cell wall, chloroplast,Golgi aparatus, vacuole membrane and a few oher organells that the animal cell doesnt have. The plant cell is more complex as it has more organelles than the animal cell. /:p

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 organelles that animal cells have that plant cells don't?
chloroplast and a central vacuolethey also have a cell wall -but that is not an organelle-Read more: What_two_organelles_do_plant_cells_have_that_animal_cells_don't
Which is more durable the plant cell or an animal call?
The plant cell, due to its totipotency, is more durable than an animal cell.

Which has more lysosomes plant cell or animal cell?
Animal cells.
How does the shape cell differ from that of an animal cell?
a plant cell is more squre and an animal cell is more round
What is the different between animal cell and a plant cell?
A plant cell is more rectangular and an animal cell is more of an oval A plant cell has a cell wall, cell membrane, chloroplasts, a cytoplasm and vacuole. Whereas an animal cell only has a cell membrane, cytoplasm and vacuole.
What has more structures a plant or animal cell?
Plant
Which cell is more rigid plant or animal?
plant.
