  1. Plants and animals are both made of cells.  Each of these two kingdoms is made of different types of cells, structure and function.

    Plants cells have cell walls and other structures differ from those of animals,are usually more rectangular,

    Cell walls almost present,Plastids occur in cytoplasm,

    Lysosomes not usually not evident,Centrioles present only in

    cells of lower plant forms,Large vacuoles filled with

    cell sap

    Animal cells do not have cell walls and have different structures than plant cells, animal cells are generally more rounded or spherical. No cell walls present outside

    the cell membrane,No plastids are found,Lysosomes occur in cytoplasm,Centrioles always present,Vacuoles, if present, are small and contractile or temporary vesicles

    One of the most important distinguishing features of plant cells is the presence of a cell wall. The relative rigidity of the cell wall renders plants sedentary, unlike animals, whose lack of this type of structure allows their cells more flexibility, which is necessary for locomotion. The plant cell wall serves a variety of functions. Along with protecting the intracellular contents, the structure bestows rigidity to the plant, provides a porous medium for the circulation and distribution of water, minerals, and other nutrients, and houses specialized molecules that regulate growth and protect the plant from disease.


  2. Plant cells have a cellulose cell wall while animal cells do not. Plant cells contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis while animal cells do not. Plant cells are 50% to 90% vacoule while animal cells have temporary food vacoules and excretery vacoule.

  3. If you clump a bunch of animal cells together you have a steak.  If you clump a bunch of plant cells together you have something less edible.

  4. Animal cells have no cell wall, just a membrane.

  5. a animal cell has a cell membrane but a plant cell has acell wall.
