How you could tell the difference between an animal cell and a plant cell?

Answer 1

Plant cells have a cell wall to provide structural support for the cell. Plant cells also have a large permanent vacuole whereas animal cells are small and temporary. Plants have chloroplast which contain chlorophyll (the stuff that makes plants green). Instead of glycogen in animal cells which r the carbohydrate stores, plants cells have starch in the cytoplasm or cytoplasts which is how they store carbs!! HTH!

Answer 2

The two main differences are that plant cells have a cell wall, while animal cells do not. Plant cells have chloroplasts while animal cells do not. Another difference is the animal cells have centrioles while plant cells do not.

Answer 3

Plant cells are surrounded by a cell wall, they have a regular (usually rectangular) shape, and are green because of the chloroplasts they contain. They usually have one large, central vacuole.

Animal cells have no cell wall, are usually an irregular shape and do not contain chloroplasts (are not green).

Answer 4

You can distinguish a plant cell from an animal cell because a plant cell has a cell wall and animal cells do not have a cell wall

Answer 5

The easiest way to tell the difference between an animal cell and a plant cell, is that plant cells are normally square and animal cells are a random shape.

Answer 6

Plant Cell:

-Cell Wall

-Chloroplast

-Large, central, structural vacuole

Animal Cell:

-Centromeres
