Answer:

SIMILARITIES:

1. They are both made up of cells.

2. Both cells are eukaryotic

DIFFERENCES:

1. Leaf cell possess chloroplast while arm cells don't.

2. Leaf cells have a cell wall while arm cells do not.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this question, a comparison is being made between the plant's leaf and a human arm. A leaf belongs to a plant while the arm belongs to a human cell. They are similar and different in the following ways:

SIMILARITIES:

- Both of these organisms are said to be living and every living things is said to be made up of cells. Hence, both leaf and human cells are made up of CELLS.

- Both the leaf and arm cells have a membrane-bound nucleus, hence, they are said to be EUKARYOTIC CELLS.

DIFFERENCES:

- Since the leaf cells belong to that of a plant, they contain CHLOROPLAST organelle with which they perform photosynthesis. The cells of the human arm lacks this organelle.

- Likewise, the cells of a leaf possess CELL WALL in addition to their cell membrane while the arm cells lack cell wall.
