Plant cells have a cell wall and the cell membrane while animal cells have only a cell membrane. Also, plant cells have chloroplasts and they make their own food by trapping sunlight for sugar.

Unlike Plant Cells, Animal Cells have Moving Cells and they have smaller vacuoles.

Due to the lack of a rigid cell wall, animal cells can adopt a variety of shapes, and a phagocytic cell can even engulf other structures.

In how many ways are plant and animal cells different?

There are some ways in which plant cells and animal cells differ. Plant cells contain a cell wall whereas animals cells only have a cell membrane. Plant cells contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis whereas animal cells do not. Plant cells have a large central vacuole for water storage whereas animal cells do not. Plant cells do not have lysosomes whereas animal cells do.


Do plant cells reproduce faster than animal cells?

Not necessarily. Cells in different parts of plants and animals reproduce (divide) at different rates. It would depend on what parts of the organisms you are comparing. For example: the ends of plant roots grow a lot faster than the other parts, and hair cells in animals grow faster than cells in other parts of the body.


Both plant and animal cells have mitochondria?

Both animal and plant cells.


Why are plant cells organized differently then animal cells?

Cells are organized according to their function. The function that a cell needs to carry out dictates how it looks, how it functions and what kind of tissue it forms. Plants have very different functions than animals and therefore need different types of cells organized in a different way.


What makes human cells different from plant cells?

The human and the plant cells have different structers Cell wall. It presence in plant cells but not in animal cells. It maintains the shape of the plant cells and protect in from bursting. Chloroplast. Green pigment found in the plant cells that captures light for the process of photosynthesis. It becomes like a sac and occupies 96%or98% of the cell And plant cells do contain mitochondria. They need to carry out respiration and need energy for growth and little movement too.
