, I. Introduction
1 Plants versus animals
The differences between animals and plants are not in the basic molecular characteristics, but they are
rather related to cell and tissue functions of higher order.
Plants are differentiated from animals by:
Their ability to manufacture food through photosynthesis.
Their unlimited type of growth in very localized regions of growth.
On the cellular level the plant cells differ from the animal cells by (Fig. 1):
The presence of cell walls.
The absence of centriole in plant cells.
The presence of different types of plastids (e.g. Chloroplast, chromoplast, amyloplast, leucoplast).
The presence of a large central vacuole in differentiated plant cells that generally occupies around
90% of the cell volume. It is a large vesicle filled with many different substances in solution.
