No - quite the opposite. Eukaryotic cells (which include plant and animal cells) are vastly larger than prokaryotic cells (i.e. bacteria) - several orders of magnitude larger.

The precise relation in size varies, but to give you a sense of the relative scales it is thought that some Eukaryotic cell organelles (mitochondria and chloroplasts) are actually derived from ancient prokaryotes who developed such a close symbiotic relationship with ancient eukaryotic cells that they became assimilated as a component. So, when you see a picture of an animal or plant cell where mitochondria and choloroplasts are shown, that's roughly the size of a prokaryotic cell relative to a eukaryotic cell.

Which is the largest a plant cell an animal cell or a bacterial cell?

Plant cells are generally larger than animal cells, and both are significantly larger than bacterial cells. Plant cells have a rigid cell wall that provides structural support and allows them to grow larger than animal cells, which do not have cell walls. Bacterial cells are much smaller than both plant and animal cells.

How are animal cells are differentfrom plant cells?

Plant cells are more square shaped, while animal cells are more round-like. Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts while animal cells don't have either of these, and plant cells have a larger vacuole than animal cells. :)
