Question 12

Differences between Plants Cells and Animal Cells

Answer 12

Animal cells are round, plants cells are square.
Animal cells have lysosomes, plant cells have cell wall and chloroplasts.
Animal cells have a smaller vacuole compared to plant cells, which have a large one.
Plant cells stay constant throughout the entire process of cell division, staying rectangular and forming a cell plate at the end, whereas animal cells go from circular, to ovular, to two circles.
