While many organelles in animal and plant cells have similar functions, there are also some differences due to the specific needs and adaptations of each type of cell.
Nucleus: Both animal and plant cells contain a nucleus, which houses the cell's genetic material (DNA) and controls cellular activities. The function of the nucleus is generally the same in both types of cells.
Mitochondria: Mitochondria are responsible for generating energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. They are present in both animal and plant cells and perform the same function.
