Can cells that make up an organism that must compete to survive?
no
How does mass extinction affect species that survive?

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.
