structure of prokaryotes and eukaryotes include the presence of mitochondria and chloroplasts‚ the cell wall‚ and the structure of chromosomal DNA. In this lab four cells were observed and they were Onion Epidermis Cell stained with Iodine‚ Elodea Freshwater Plant Cell‚ Epithelial Cells aka Human Cheek cells stained with Crystal Violet‚ and Unknown Cell. The difference between animal and plants cells is that animal cells does not have a cell wall or chloroplasts but plant cells do. Animal cells are
