I'm not sure how many marks this GCSE AQA Biology question would get out of 6

Hi everybody,
I'm doing past paper questions for biology and I'm not sure how many marks my answer would pick up. I'm thinking around 4 or 5 but I'm not really too sure. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

Im struggling to post an imagine so i will just copy and paste my answer and the mark scheme here lol

question:
Red blood cells are specialised animal cells.
Compare the structure of a red blood cell with the structure of a plant cell. (6 marks)

my answer:
Red blood cells do not have a nucleus to have more room for heomoglobin. Plant cells do have a nucleus. Plant cells have chloroplasts and a cell wall where as red blood cells do not. Plant cells and red blood cells both have cytoplasm. Plant cells have a permenant vacuole whereas red blood cells do not.

I think it would get a 5, because you have made 5 points of comparison/contrast. The nucleus, chloroplasts, cell wall, cytoplasm and vacuole. P.s I'd avoid grouping two points like you did for chloroplast and cell wall, just so there's no debate about assigning the mark.

they also both have cell membranes....RBCs are disc-shaped whereas plant cells are not...2 more points u can remember just to avoid losing that one or two mark....
