The cell membrane encloses the organelles of the animal and plant cell. The membrane acts a gate allowing nutrients to enter and wastes or other material to exit the cell. It allows the E.R. (Endoplasmic Reticulum)to enter and exit and transfer information between cells.


Animal cells are typical of the eukaryotic cell, enclosed by a plasma membrane and containing a membrane-bound nucleus and organelles. Unlike the eukaryotic cells of plants and fungi, animal cells do not have a cell wall. This feature was lost in the distant past by the single-celled organisms that gave rise to the kingdom Animalia. Most cells, both animal and plant, range in size between 1 and 100 micrometers and are ... visible only with the aid of a microscope.An animal cell typically contains several types of membrane-bound organs, or organelles. The nucleus directs activities of the cell and carries genetic information from generation to generation. The mitochondria generate energy for the cell. Proteins are manufactured by ribosomes, which are bound to the rough endoplasmic reticulum or float free in the cytoplasm. The Golgi apparatus modifies, packages, and distributes proteins while lysosomes store enzymes for digesting food. The entire cell is wrapped in a lipid membrane that selectively permits materials to pass in and out of the cytoplasm

Do animal and plant cells both have mitochondia?

Yes. Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles. Animal and plant cells are eukaryotes (that is, they contain membrane bound organelles). Only prokaryotes (which are mostly bacteria and don't contain membrane bound organelles) don't have mitochondria.

Membrane-bound organelles


What organelles bacteria and animals don't share?

Bacteria lack membrane-bound organelles, which distinguishes them from animal cells. Notable organelles absent in bacteria include the nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum. Instead, bacteria have a simpler structure, with their genetic material located in a nucleoid region and energy production occurring across their cell membrane. In contrast, animal cells possess these complex organelles, allowing for greater compartmentalization and specialization of cellular functions.

What are the three basic types of cells?

The three basic types of cells are prokaryotic cells (lacking a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles), eukaryotic plant cells (containing a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles), and eukaryotic animal cells (also containing a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles).
