A consonant on its own cannot form a complete syllable. Any syllable must contain contain a vowel or a combination of vowels). Consonants can be added to the beginning or end of a syllable to modify its sound.
Ie. O can be considered a syllable, but so can MO and MOCK.
The biggest difference between a consonant in a vowel is that the vowels can be pronounced properly by themselves, while consonants cannot. For example, when pronouncing the consonant "D" by itself, an "uh" sound is appended to the end of it.

Vowel is different from consonant as vowels have long sound then the consonant words.
