Gene Fulmer, age 11, of Wichita, Kansas for his question:

How do plant cells differ from animal cells?

Every living cell is a small blob of protoplasm held in soma kind of a cell wall. Protoplasm is a jell like substance which holds the very secrets of lifer and nothing is alive without it. Perhaps the best way to study plant and animal cells is in the tiny, single celled plants and animals which share our world with us.

In these the simplest plant and animal cells, even the experts are often confounded. There era still certain one celled bodies that are claimed by both the botanists and the zoologists. As a general rule however the botanists claim a right to the cells which contain green chlorophyl. This rule holds true also in calls of higher plants and animals.
