What two ways plants and animal cells are similar?

1. Both plant and animal cells have a cell membrane. The cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer that surrounds the cell and protects its contents. It also regulates the movement of materials into and out of the cell.

2. Both plant and animal cells have cytoplasm. The cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance that fills the cell. It contains all of the cell's organelles, which are small structures that carry out specific functions.
