Make a comparison and write down ways in which plant cells are different from animal cells.
(N/A) Comparison of plant cell and animal cell:
$1$. Cell Wall: Plant cells possess a rigid cell wall outside the plasma membrane,whereas animal cells lack a cell wall.
$2$. Shape: Plant cells generally have a fixed,regular shape due to the cell wall,while animal cells are generally irregular or flexible in shape.
$3$. Size: Plant cells are typically larger in size compared to animal cells.
$4$. Plastids: Plant cells contain plastids (like chloroplasts) for photosynthesis,which are absent in animal cells (except in some protists like $Euglena$).
$5$. Vacuoles: Plant cells contain a single,large,permanent central vacuole,whereas animal cells have many small,temporary vacuoles.

Take four peeled potato halves and scoop each one out to make potato cups. One of these potato cups should be made from a boiled potato. Put each potato cup in a trough containing water. Now,
$(a)$ Keep cup $A$ empty.
$(b)$ Put one teaspoon sugar in cup $B$.

$(d)$ Put one teaspoon sugar in the boiled potato cup $D$.
Keep these for two hours. Then observe the four potato cups and answer the following:
$(i)$ Explain why water gathers in the hollowed portion of $B$ and $C$.
$(ii)$ Why is potato $A$ necessary for this experiment?
$(iii)$ Explain why water does not gather in the hollowed out portions of $A$ and $D$.
