This answer compares and contrasts the features of a plant cell and an animal cell.
A plant cell has a vacuole. This is a sac in which the cell stores water and nutrients. An animal cell has no vacuole as it does not make its own food and therefore does not need to store these nutrients in that way.
A plant cell has chloroplasts. These are the instruments in which photosynthesis occurs (the process of plants making their own food), and where the pigment chlorophyll comes from, which makes the plant green. An animal cell has no chloroplasts as it does not need to make its own food.
Both plant and animal cells have a nucleus. The nucleus controls the function of the cell and what takes place in it. All cells need this control.
Both plant and animal cells have a cytoplasm. The cytoplasm is what fills up the cell and gives it shape. Many important metabolic reactions take place in the cytoplasm. All cells need these reactions to occur.
The animal cell has a cell membrane and the plant cell has a cell wall. Both perform the same main function - they are a semipermeable membrane that controls the entry and exit of gases and substances to and from the cell.
The cell wall, however, is more rigid and thick, while the cell membrane is more flexible and is thinner. The animal cell membrane is thin and flexible because the animal gets its strength from the skeleton structure of the animal. However, the plant does not have a bone structure, so its strength must come from the cellular level. The thick and rigid cell wall provides this strength.

a plant cell is rectangular shaped because the cell wall is rigid and the shape is more control than a aminal cell
Yes you are correst, but Animal cells aren't only circular shaped but are irregular shaped!
Its just round in pictures, but it can change shape.
animal - circular. plant - squar-ish
Plant cells are rigid due to their cell wall and are usually square in shape.
Wobbly Circle Since an animal cell doesn't have a cell wall, the shape is not definite like a somewhat rectangular plant cell. It's generally a lopsided circular shape. Like an octagon. sorta
1. plant cells have chloroplasts and chlorophil2.animal cells are circular and plant cells are rectangular.3.animal cells lack a cell wall4. animal cells have multiple vacuoles5.Plant cells don't have a nuclus.
Plant cells (the onion skin cells) have a cell wall, while animal cells (cheek cells) only have the cell membrane.
Animal cells are circular. Plant cells are rectangular.
Plant cells are rectangular, while animal cells are circular.
It has animal cells. They are circular and plant cells are rectangular.
1 difference is that animal cells have circular blob shaped cells but plants have rectangular cells. Also plant cells have a cell wall and a vacuole. There are probably other differences that i don't Know about as well.
animal - circular. plant - squar-ish
An animal cell has a cell wall around the cell membrane and is a rectangular shape, where as an animal cell does not have a cell wall and is a circular shape. Also a plant cell has chloroplast which carries out photosynthesis.
Plant cells are rigid due to their cell wall and are usually square in shape.
Wobbly Circle Since an animal cell doesn't have a cell wall, the shape is not definite like a somewhat rectangular plant cell. It's generally a lopsided circular shape. Like an octagon. sorta
Plants have a cell wall and chloroplasts. They can have lysosomes, but don't always. They are rectangular. Animal cells don't have chloroplasts and they have lysosomes. They are irregular shaped.
Plant cells have a cell wall and animal cells do not. Animal cells are round shaped and plant cells are rectangular. In all animal cells centrioles are present and in plant cells centrioles are only present in lower plant forms.
They have different shapes. Animal cells are circular, and plant cells are rectangular. Sorry I don't know any other way to check. You'd need a microscope. **This is wrong. the real answer is that animal cells have centrisomes while plant cells have chloroplasts and rigid cell walls.
Rectangular box shaped cells are suitable for palisade messophyll cells because it fits with their overall structure. This allows them to fully grow and develop without any ill effects.
