I am almost dumbstruck with how clearly this explains education — at all levels.

And now for a quick comic addressing a common misconception! #sciencetwitter #sciart #scicomm
When Comparing Plant and Animal Cells comic. Plant cells can do photosynthesis (plant cell looking happily at smiling sun). But both plant and animal cells perform cellular respiration! (Animal cell mutters "Overachiever" at plant cell).
