Comparing a leaf palisade cell and liver cell

In this essay I will be comparing the organisation of two eukaryotic cells. The leaf palisade cell and the liver cell using details revealed by the light and electron microscope. I will be focusing on the important structures of each cell, explain what they do and why they are unique or similar to each other.
        A eukaryotic cell is a membrane-bounded organelle; it usually contains mitochondria and chloroplasts within the outer plasma membrane of the cell. The eukaryotic cell is used for metabolism processes, contains enzymes for a particular metabolic pathway and if any anti bodies or harmful reactants enter the cell it can be isolated in an organelle so it does not harm the entire cell.

The leaf palisade cell contains a number of different organelles, which do different things in the cell, all of which are necessary to the survival of the plant.

The entire cell is held together by a cell wall. The cell wall is only found in plants to keep it sturdy and has no need to pass matter from one cell to another.

The cell also contains cytoplasm. This is a material found between the cell membrane and the nuclear envelope. Fibrous proteins that occur in the cytoplasm, maintain the shape of the cell as well as anchoring organelles, ...
