Plant And Animal Cell Nucleus. Animal cells are generally smaller than plant cells. Eukaryotes house a distinct nucleus a structure in which the genetic material dna is contained surrounded by a membrane much like the outer cell membrane.
Unlike animal cells plant cells must build new cell. Why is the position of nucleus different in plant and animal cell. The nucleus is enveloped by a nuclear membrane which keeps the contents of the nucleus from dissipating into the cytoplasm of the cell.
Both plant and animal cells comprise membrane-bound organelles such as endoplasmic reticulum mitochondria the nucleus Golgi apparatus peroxisomes lysosomes.
The nucleus is enveloped by a nuclear membrane which keeps the contents of the nucleus from dissipating into the cytoplasm of the cell. This pressure forces the nucleus into a more flattened oblong shape. The nucleus is an organelle that contains the genetic information for that organism. Like animal cell nuclei this cell nucleus will retain a spherical shape if there is enough room.
