The plant cell has a cell wall and chloroplasts. An animal cell doesn't. The chloroplasts have a chemical called chlorophyll inside, which make the plant green.

A plant cell has types of organelles called plastids. There are three kinds:

  1. Chloroplasts- site of photosynthesis
  2. Chromoplasts- contain a carotenoid pigment that can be red, orange, or yellow
  3. Leucoplasts- store starch

Plant cells generally do not contain lysosomes, which contain digestive enzymes used to break down old cell parts for reuse.

Also, while both plant and animal cells contain vacuoles, in plant cells these tend to be larger so they have a higher capacity for holding water.

The shape of the cells are different too. Plant cells tend to be more rectangular, while animal cells have different shapes depending on the role they play in the body.
