The main difference between an animal cell and a bacterial cell is that a bacterial cell contains a plasmid, a ring of DNA, opposed to the chromosomes that animal cells possess. There are other differences, such as size (bacterial cells are many times smaller) and whether or not they contain membrane bound organelles, which bacteria do not. Bacteria cells have also flagella/flagellum that an animal cells (except spermatozoa or sperm cells) does not, a "tail" strand that extends out of the cell to propel it forward.

All bacterial cells do not have a nucleus but the cells of other animal have nucleus which is usually spherical or oval in shape inside it there are chromosomes that form a dense tangle referred to as chromatin.

The main difference is that the animal cell is eukaryote, having a membrane bound nucleus and many membrane bound organelles, while the bacterial cell is prokaryote, having diffuse genetic material and the few organelles are not membrane bound.

The normal cells are much more complex than bacteria.

Bacteria are unicellular but normal cells are multicellular.

Is the cell wall a plant are animal cell?

The cell wall is in the plant cell. It is a significant difference between plant and animal cells. It is found in the Monera Kingdom in bacterial and fungal lifeforms, which is neither plant or animal.


What is the differenc e of a animal cell from a plant and bacterial cell?

The difference between animal cells, plant cells, and bacteria is quite simple. Animal and plant cells have a nucleus, bacterial cells don't. Bacteria and plant cells both have cell walls, but animal cells don't. And plant cells are the only ones that have chloroplasts.


What are the three structural differences between a typical animal cell and a typical green plant cell?

The three differences between typical plant and animal cells involve plant cells having something that animal cells lack. Two of these three differences, the vacuole and the cell wall, are both designed for support and strength for the overall structure of the plant. The third difference, the chloroplast, is a more mechanical difference, as it allows the plants to photosynthesize.
