How do plant and animal cells function differently

Although, the overall function of the cell is the same, there are some important differences between animal and plant cells. The first difference is that plant cells have an organelle called chloroplast. Chloroplasts contain a pigment called chlorophyll (which gives the plant its green color).

Centrosomes and lysosomes are found in animal cells, but do not exist within plant cells.The lysosomes are the animal cell's "garbage disposal", while in plant cells the same function takes place in vacuoles.Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts and other specialized plastids, and a large central vacuole, which are not found within animal cells.

rest and motion are the relative terms because they depend on the observer's frame of reference. So if two different observers are not at rest with respect to each other, then they too get different results when they observe the motion or rest of a body

Answer:

(d) 22.22 °C

Explanation:

Because in 1 Celcius is 1.8 fahrenheit apart from 2 celcius, so

when °C is 0 f is 32, when °C is 1 = 33.8 , so it rises with quantities of 1.8 fahrenheit

An ant crawls 50 cm to the right, stops, and then crawls 30 cm to the left. Calculate the distance that the ant travels, and cal

borishaifa [10]

Answer and Explanation:

If the ant was to crawl 50cm to the right, then come back 30 cm, then the total distance walked would be 80cm.

- Combine 50cm and 30cm to get 80 cm.

For displacement, the answer is 20 cm.

- When calculating displacement, you use the initial (starting) distance. and subtract that from the final distance, giving you the displacement, or the amount traveled from the starting point to the final point if you were to make a straight line from the starting point to end point. (0 to 50, then back 30 the same direction, so subtract 30 from 50 to get 20)
