One of the primary differences between animal and plant cells is that plant cells have a cell membrane made up of cellulose. This helps the plant cells to allow high pressure to build inside of it, without bursting. A plant cell has to be able to accept large amounts of liquid through osmosis, without being destroyed. An animal cell does not have this cell wall. If you start to fill the animal cell with too much distilled water or other fluid, it will eventually pop.
Plant cells also are different from animal cells because they use photosynthesis to covert sunlight into needed food for the plant. Plant cells have chloroplasts, which has its own DNA, essentially directing the work of the chloroplasts.
Also plant cells, if one could view them under the microscope, appear extremely different than an animal cell because of the presence of a large vacuole, which exists in the cell's cytoplasm. It usually takes up most of the room in the cell, and the membrane of the cell encircles it. It contains waste materials, water, and nutrients that can be used or secreted as necessary.
a simpler awnser:
plant cells have a cell wall, cytoplasm, and a bigger vaculoe :)

What is a major difference between plant and animal starch?
VAGINA
What is one difference between the animal and plant cell?
One major difference between animal and plant cells is the presence of a cell wall in plant cells but not in animal cells. The cell wall provides structural support and protection in plant cells, while animal cells rely on other structures for support.
What featurns can be used to distinguish between an animal cell and a plant cell?
The major differences are the cell wall in the plant cell is not present in the animal cell, the other major difference is that an animal cell has no permanent vacuole.
Difference between a plant and animal?
a plant makes its food a animal finds or hunts it
What are some differences with both animal and plant cells?
The major difference between them is that an animal cell does NOT have a cell wall and chloroplast like those in plants.
What is the major physical difference between vacuoles in a plant and vacuoles in an animal?
Plant cells central vacuole is much larger than an animals vacuoles.
What is the major functional difference between animalcells and plant cells?
1) Plant cells have cell wall which is absent in animal cell. 2) Plant cell lack centrioles whereas animal cells have centrioles.
What is the biggest difference between animal and plant cells?
One major difference is that plant cells have a cell wall made of cellulose, which provides structure and support, while animal cells do not. Another key difference is that plant cells contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis, while animal cells do not.
What is the difference between plant and animal and bacterial cells?
Plant and animal cells are eukaryotic and bacteria are prokaryotic
What is a major difference between plant cells and animal cells?
There are several differences between plant and animal cells. The following are three of the of the major differences:Plants have cell walls, animals don'tPlants have cells that do photosynthesis, animals don'tPlants have storage bubbles found in cells used to store nutrients and waste products. Animals have them too but they're much smaller in animals
In a tabular form the difference between plant and animal?
| Category | Plant | Animal | |--------------|-----------------|-----------------| | Cell type | Eukaryotic | Eukaryotic | | Nutrition | Autotrophic | Heterotrophic | | Movements | Minimal or none | Can move | | Reproduction | Mostly asexual | Mostly sexual |
What is the major difference between vacuoles in a plant cell and vacuoles in a animal cell?
In a plant cell the vacuole is much larger than the animal cells vacuole. The plant cells vacuole mostly contains water. In the animal cells vacuole it is used to store waste.Animal cells do not have vacuoles. Only plant cells
