What type of cell is common in animals and plants?

0

Based on the answer above, animals and plants are both multi-cellular organisms, and both are thus composed of eukaryotic cells. Animals and plants are very different physiologically, though, so as far as actual cell types (as in tissues, etc.), they don’t have anything in common (unless a plant-animal symbiotic relationship such as zooxanthellae [algae that live inside coral epithelial tissue] with coral were considered as one cell, which it’s not).

Type of cell? There are only two types of cells: Prokaryotic Cell: Cells that lack a membrane-bound nucleus. These cells have few internal structures that are distinguishable under a microscope. Cells in the monera kingdom such as bacteria and cyanobacteria (also known as blue-green algae) are prokaryotes. Eukaryotic Cell: Eukaryotic cells are typically much larger than prokaryotes. They have a variety of internal membranes and structures, called organelles, and a cytoskeleton composed of microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments, which play an important role in defining the cell’s organization and shape. Eukaryotic DNA is divided into several linear bundles called chromosomes, which are separated by a microtubular spindle during nuclear division.
