no there not identical but some of there cells and parts are the same like the nucleas a plant and animal cell both have these same as a cellwall or a cell membrane but some parts to a plant or animal cell do not have the same cells /parts.

No, plant cells are not identical to animal cells although they have similarities. The structure of a cell in a plant and animal both have the following, a nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, mitochondria, at least one vacuole, Golgi apparatus, and microtubules/microfilaments. There are also some differences. To start off, their shapes differ. Animal cells are round and plant cells are rectangular. Plants have chloroplast meaning they can produce their own food, animals cannot. Plants cells also contain other things animals cells don't such as, plastids and a cell wall. Animals also have their specialties such as, centroids and lysosomes. Although they don't have a cell wall they contain a cell membrane.

Do plant cells specialize in the same way animal cells do?

Plant cells do specialize but not in the same way as animal cells. Animal cells have specialized cells such as nerve cells, reproductive cells or muscle cells etc. Plant cells do not have any of those. But Plant cells have other specialized cells such as photosynthesis cells, epidermal cells etc. Both Animal and Plant cells have specialized cells that perform a specific function to keep the cell/organism alive.


How do animal cells look like?

A cell of a dog is an animal cell, and animal cells are microscopic. Animal cells don't have a cell wall or chloroplasts. Plant cells do. Plant cells and animal cells both have a cell membrane, mitchondria, vacuoles, nucleus, and cytoplasm. Animal cells are disformed or roundish and plant cells are square and boxlike.

Do animal cells have cell mambranes?

Yes. Animal cells are the same as human cells. Plant cells are a little different.


Is Golgi bodies in plant or animal cells?

Golgi bodies are found in both plant and animal cells. There may in fact be more Golgi bodies per cell in plant cells than in animal cells. Golgi Apparatus is found in both animal and plant cells. It is known as dictyosomes in plant cells and Golgi complex in animal cells. But the function remains the same.

no


Is chloroplast found in both animal cells and plant cells?

Nope. It is only in plant cells. The mitochondria is basically the same thing as a chloroplast, only it is found in animal cells. Plant Cell - Chloroplast Animal Cell - Mitochondria

Is the Nucleolus found in plant or animal cells?

A nucleus is found in a plant and animal cell - (check the labelled diagrams of a plant cell and an animal cell to see what is the same and what isn't.)


Does plants and animal cells have the same shape or the same chloroplasts or the cell membrane or cells have a tough wall?

No to all of the above. Plant and animal cells do not have the same shape. Plant cells have chloroplasts. Animal cells do not. Plants have a cell wall. Animal cells have a cell membrane. However there is one atom difference between a plant's chlorophyl and a human's hemoglobin. 53% of the DNA in a human and a banana tree is the same. Similarities exist.
