Answer:

Plant cell and animal cell are eukaryotic cells that means they have membrane-bound organelle which have specialized functions. Plant cells are different from animal cells and the difference can be found if we see the plant and animal cells under the microscope.

Under the microscope, the cells having a cell wall outside the cell membrane are the plant cells and the cells not having the cell wall are animal cells. Plants and animal cells can also be recognized by some organelle like chloroplast is the organelle present in plant cells not in animal cells.

Animal cells have lysosomes which are rounded in shape found in animal cells, not in plant cell which can be seen under the microscope. A large vacuole can be seen in the center of the plant cell under a microscope which is not present in animal cells.

Therefore plant and animal cells can be distinguished under the microscope by presence and absence of some structure like cell wall, chloroplast, lysosome, vacuole.

Only plant cells contain a cell wall and chloroplasts, so if the cell contains those organelles, then you can identify it as a plant cell. If the cell does not contain those two organelles, it is an animal cell

How do ETS reactions produce ATP?
Norma-Jean [14]

ATP synthesization -  Simple and complex lipids or carbohydrates are used to produce ATP through redox reactions. After the hydrolysis of complex carbohydrates, glucose and fructose are formed and the triglycerides are metabolized to form glycerol and fatty acids. ATP is then synthesized by oxidative phosphorylation and photophosphorylation during the energy production with in the living organisms. ATP production usually takes place in the mitochondria of the cell.  The important pathways by which ATP is generated are glycolysis, the citric acid cycle (or the Kreb’s cycle), and the electron transport chain (or the oxidative phosphorylation pathway).  In these three cycles of  cellular respiration  adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is converted  to ATP and energy is released  from molecules.

Which carbohydrate can be used by the body as an immediate source of energy?
Andreas93 [3]

The correct answer is option glucose.

The glucose can be used as the immediate source of the energy. The cells can utilize the glucose to form the ATP molecules, which can be used as a source of energy by the body of the organism. The cellulose, chitin, and the glycogen are the polymers, they can only be utilized, once they are broken down into simpler forms.
