Cell Structure and Function Comparison

The video tutorial explains the differences between animal and plant cells, highlighting key structural components such as the cell wall, chloroplasts, and vacuoles in plant cells, which are absent in animal cells. It also discusses common components like the cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, and mitochondria found in both cell types. The tutorial further explores the use of light and electron microscopes in studying cell structures, emphasizing which organelles are visible under each type of microscope.
