Q

Differences between plant and animal cells.

A

Plant cells have a cell wall, but animals cells do not. Cell walls provide support and give shape to plants.
Plant cells have chloroplasts, but animal cells do not. Chloroplasts enable plants to perform photosynthesis to make food.
Plant cells usually have one or more large vacuole(s), while animal cells have smaller vacuoles if any are present. Large vacuoles help provide shape and allow the plant to store water and food for future use. The storage function plays a lesser role in animal cells, therefore the vacuoles are smaller.
Plant cells have plastids while animal cells don’t.
Animals cells have cilia while plant cells don’t
Plant cells don’t have centrioles while animal cells do.
