Animal and plant cells are made from millions of tiny cells‚ so small that we are unable to see them with our naked eye. Animals and plants have many features in common within a cell such as a cell membrane‚ cytoplasm‚ mitochondria‚ ribosomes and the nucleus. Plant cells also have a cell wall‚ chloroplasts
