How does the function of cytoplasm in a plant cell differ from that in an animal cell?
Does the cytoplasm in both plant and animal cells contain the same components?
No, the cytoplasm in plant and animal cells differ in their contents. While both contain cytosol, which is the fluid component of the cytoplasm, the cytoplasm of plant cells also contains specialized organelles like chloroplasts, which are involved in photosynthesis, and large vacuoles that store nutrients and waste. Animal cells lack these organelles and instead contain other organelles like lysosomes and centrioles that perform different functions.
