Summary Introduction

To draw: The two eukaryotic cells.

Introduction: Plants and animals are both eukaryotes. They have well-organized membrane-bound structures. A cell contains different organelles. Each organelle has its own specific features. Plant cell walls are the outermost boundary of plant cells that provide shape and protection to the cell. Animal cells do not have cell walls but consist of a plasma membrane. The cell synthesizes and secretes materials outside of cells, called extracellular matrix (ECM) that plays a role in cellular functions and protection.
