How does the function of cytoplasm in a plant cell differ from that in an animal cell?
Can you tell me how the function of cytoplasm in a plant cell differs from that in an animal cell?
Yes, the cytoplasm in a plant cell serves to maintain the cell's shape and structure while also allowing for a variety of cellular functions to take place, such as photosynthesis and cellular respiration. In addition, the cytoplasm of a plant cell contains many organelles, like chloroplasts and vacuoles, that are unique to plants and perform specific functions. The cytoplasm of an animal cell also performs many cellular functions; however, it lacks the specialized organelles that are found in plant cells.
