ANIMAL CELL AND PLANT CELL

[tutoroot]

What are the differences between plant cell and animal cell?

Plant and Animal cells both alike play a major role in the evolution of respective species, and thus it will be important for the students to understand the differences between Plant cells and Animal cells, and their various functions, features as well as their components.

A Plant cell is defined as a eukaryotic cell, which consists of various components such as a nucleus and multiple organelles, each performing different types of functions. This is why these cells are stated as fundamental blocks of plant life, as they perform important functions, such as Photosynthesis, which involves the conversion of carbon dioxide into food or starch. There are different types of plant cells, which we are going to explain briefly in the below section. 

Collenchyma Cells – This cell is made up of elongated living cells, with irregular thick walls, which perform various functions, such as providing support, mechanical strength, and flexibility to the plants.  

Xylem Cells – These types of cells play an important role in the transfer of water as well as dissolved chemicals and minerals through various parts of the plant. Examples of Xylem Cells are Tracheids, Xylem Parenchyma, Xylem Fibers, etc. 

Sclerenchyma Cells – The cells which do not see any development, even though they are primary sustaining cells, these types of cells are called Sclerenchyma cells. Moreover, these cells are stiffer in nature and are generally dead cells as they mature.

Phloem Cells – In order to transfer carbohydrates, sugar, amino acids, and nutrients, which are dissolved in water, the Phloem cells play an important role. 

Parenchlyma Cells – Most plants are made up of these cells, such as plant tissues, leaves, plant organs, and many more. The main function of these cells is to safely store proteins and carbohydrates, and also help the plants heal. 

What is an Animal Cell?

This is a type of eukaryotic cell that does not contain a cell wall, instead has a true membrane-bound nucleus that has multiple cellular organelles. However, unlike plant cells, these types of cells do not have the ability to produce their own nutrition. Besides this, there are three main components of the Animal Cells such as cytoplasm, nucleus, and cell membrane. Similar to Plant Cells, there are multiple types of animal cells, like,  

Skin Cells – As the name itself suggests, these cells are commonly found in epidermal and dermal layers of skin, which play an active role in acting as a barrier, and also preventing water loss. 

Nerve Cells – As you know already, these are one of the most important cells in an animal body, as their function is to transmit information or impulses. And through these impulses, send and receive messages.  

Bone Cells – For the improvement or formation of an animal’s skeleton and bones, these cells communicate with each other in order to maintain the structure and density of bones throughout the animal skeleton.  

Muscle Cells – In order to organize the movement of limbs and various organs, muscles are required. Furthermore, it also helps in protecting the delicate organs of the animal body. 

Blood Cells – The main function of these cells is to transport oxygen, nutrients, and hormones throughout the body, through the bloodstream. 

There are many differences between Plant Cell and Animal Cell, such as,  

Plant Cell 

Type of Nucleus: True Nucleus 

Size & Shape: Fixed Size type of plant cell, that is larger in size

Cell Wall: It consists of cell walls made up of cellulose and membrane

Plastids: Plastids are present in this type of cell

Lysosomes: Present, but are generally rare

Size of Vacuole: Vacuoles are large in size

Chloroplast: Present

Location of Nucleus: On one side of a cell

Animal Cell 

Type of Nucleus: Membrane Bound-Nucleus

Size & Shape: Irregular type cell, that is very small in size

Cell Wall: It does not have any cell walls

Plastids: Plastids are generally absent

Lysosomes: Present, but are abundant

Size of Vacuole: Vacuoles are very small in size

Chloroplast: Not Absent

Location of Nucleus: Lies in the center of the cell

Abstract Since the nanoscale in combination with luminescent properties and prospective applications in different fields of optoelectronics and biomedicine is stimulating a growing interest towards research in the area of cadmium telluride (CdTe) quantum dots (QDs), the method of “green” synthesis of CdTe QDs with the use of the Pleurotus ostreatus mycelium culture as a biological matrix has been developed. The study of their physical and chemical characteristics has shown that the synthesized CdTe QDs are characterized by a crystalline structure and a predominantly spherical morphology and are 3–8 nm in size with the luminescence maximum within the 340–370 nm range. The study of their effects on different types of mammalian cells has shown that CdTe QDs have dose-dependent effects on mouse endothelial cells and human and rat erythrocytes, T- and B-lymphocytes, colorectal cancer cells (Colo 205), and human breast cancer cells (MCF-7). In particular, suppression of proliferative indices of endotheliocytes and an increase in the count of dead cells were observed, which indicates the cytotoxic action of nanocrystalline CdTe and its antiproliferative effect on endothelial cells. At the 5 µM concentration, CdTe QDs exhibited hemolytic activity, due to their action on erythrocytes, and affected adhesive contacts and cancer cell survivability. At the same time, human breast cancer cells (MCF-7) were more sensitive to their action. The data obtained are exclusively important for the understanding of mechanisms underlying the toxicity of CdTe QDs and for their future application in biological and biomedical research.

Well this week is coming to an end and what is a better way to end the week than submit a project. For my AP Biology class, we have an 8 part summative project in which parts 1-4 were due this week and the rest is due this upcoming week! Basically one of the more creative aspects was to create either a plant cell or an animal cell. Both my friend and I created an animal cell. As you can see we both had different ideas on how to create them. Although this project was time consuming and stressful it was for sure fun to see everyone's creative ideas come to life! This class holds a special place in my heart and can’t wait to see what new things I learn!

I’ve been in a rambly mood today so here’s me rambling about how freaking amazed I am by humans and how we’re all leaving our little mark on earth and the history of it and how all the complexity that we experience is so sick and mesmerizing.

so my studies are based around biology and chemistry, I’m also really into sociology and psychology. ‘cause how beautiful is it that every human, animal and bacterium has it’s own tiny factories keeping it alive? you consist of billions and billions of chemicals working together to not just keep you alive but to let you experience and take in your surroundings and then tell other chemicals to work together to make you react to these things. your eyes are sending these signals to your brain and processing them, using your experience with words and letters to make connections. years and years of evolution combined with your own lifespan of perceptions have created this system of how you respond to things, of what your body thinks is the best choice to keep you alive for as long as possible. wether that’s something simple like having to eat to get the energy to keep all those tiny factories working or something like hobbies or sounds or smells that bring you happiness to combat the chemicals that make you feel stressed and put pressure on those factories.

we’re such complex beings, just going about our day, trying to find the things we should do to stay alive and to leave our mark on the world. trying to find what our purpose is when really our purpose is just to be here. our purpose is to live, to experience and to share, leaving marks like a footstep in mud or a happy memory in someone’s mind. but we keep looking for that purpose in an attempt to get even better at being alive.

we’re just giant stacks of atoms who found each other and got smarter and smarter, working together to create structures that protect these atoms for as long as possible. some atoms became plantcells which found ways to use the sun and water as energy to grow bigger and reproduce, leaving their mark. some atoms became animalcells starting as tiny bacteria, finding ways to work with other bacteria and share their wisdom on how to survive, building a bigger living being which gets smarter and smarter, finding more ways to take in nutrients and gasses the plants made, move around, be alive, reproduce and the most insane thing of all, being conscious. creating nervesystems that can feel, see, taste, hear, remember and save information to use for future tactics to survive and to make that surviving worth while. getting that consciousness to a point where it can learn about it’s own mechanisms and create tools, medicine and mindsets to improve even further.

maybe this is weird and I’m sounding crazy. I just think humans and all the things around us are so cool. it’s such a privilege to be one of these intricate blobs of atoms, simply going about our day and experiencing things.
