1. A red blood cell has no nucleus whereas a plant cell does. A red blood cell has no cell wall whereas a plant cell does. A red blood cell contains haemoglobin whereas a plant cell does not. A plant cell contains chloroplasts whereas a red blood cell does not. Both red blood cells and plant cells have a cell membrane. A red blood cell has a biconcave shape whereas the plant cell does not. A plant cell has a vacuole whereas a red blood cell does not.

2. Red blood cells don’t have a nucleus, but plant cells do.

   Red blood cells have no cell wall, while plant cells have a cell wall.

   A red blood cell is shaped like a biconcave disc, but plant cells come in many different shapes.

   Red blood cells contain haemoglobin to carry oxygen, but plant cells don’t have haemoglobin.

   Plant cells may have chlorophyll for photosynthesis, but red blood cells don’t.

   Plant cells have chloroplasts, but red blood cells don’t.

   Red blood cells don’t have a permanent vacuole, but plant cells do.

   Red blood cells are much smaller than most plant cells.
