Here’s a breakdown of the characteristics and structures found in plant cells, animal cells, or both:
1. **Contains chloroplast**: **Plant cells only** - Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis and are found in plant cells but not in animal cells.
2. **Has a round or irregular shape**: **Animal cells** - Animal cells can be round or irregular in shape due to their flexible plasma membrane, while plant cells usually have more defined, rigid shapes.
3. **Contains mitochondria**: **Both plant and animal cells** - Mitochondria are present in both plant and animal cells as they are the powerhouse of the cell, producing energy through respiration.
4. **Has a nucleus**: **Both plant and animal cells** - Both types of cells contain a nucleus, which houses the cell's genetic material.
5. **Contains a cell wall**: **Plant cells only** - The cell wall provides structure and rigidity to plant cells. It is not present in animal cells.
6. **Has a square and rigid shape**: **Plant cells only** - Plant cells often have a fixed, square, or rectangular shape due to the presence of a cell wall, which gives them rigidity.
In summary:
- **Plant Cells**: 1, 5, 6
- **Animal Cells**: 2
- **Both**: 3, 4
