Comparing Animal and Plant Cells

The cell is the fundamental structural unit of all living organisms. Cells help carry out the functions of life and together support the organism to function as a whole. Cells are divided into two main categories of eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Animal cells and plant cells fall into the division of eukaryote cells that have both a nucleus and organelles. In this lab, animal and plant cells will be compared through a microscope to identify differences in the structures of each type of cell.
Almost all cells are too small to be seen through human eyes. Therefore, a microscope was used in the lab and a sample of a plant cell was placed on. The microscope was then adjusted and viewed on highest power. A picture of the image of the cell seen through the microscope was recorded as data. The same process was repeated using an animal cell instead to be able to compare the characteristics.
The data presents certain noticeable......
