Cell division Binary fission (simple division)
Prokaryotes
cell wall present around cell membrane
Plant cell
Vacuoles are usually large
Plant cell

Animal cell
Generally vacuoles are absent and if present, are usually small
Animal cell
Plastids absent
Animal cell
Plastids present
Plant cell
Golgi body present in the form of units known as dictyosomes
Plant cell
Centriole absent
Plant cell
Golgi body well developed
Animal cell
Golgi body well developed
Animal cell
– Serves to separate and protect a cell from its surrounding environment
•Cell Membrane / Plasma membrane / Plasmalemma
made mostly from a double layer of lipids -
hydrophobic fat-like molecules and hydrophilic phosphorus molecules
Integral membrane proteins or
intrinsic proteins
Peripheral membrane proteins or
extrinsic proteins
small carbohydrate chain projects out from the cell
Glycoprotein
Protein is shaped to grasp substance and shuttle it across
Carrier protein
Protein has a small binding site that fits the shape of a specific atom or molecule
Receptor protei
Protein has a small tunnel through the center
Channel protein
Enzymes with active sites embedded in membrane; organelles with a lot of membrane contains loads of enzymatic proteins
Enzymatic protein
