What are the main structural differences between plant and animal cell?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
First of all, plant cells' vacuoles, storage areas, are far larger than animal cells' vacuoles, in ratio of organelle to cell. Also, an animal cell splits by stretching apart during telophase. A plant cell splits by making a cell plate which later becomes the cell walls on the sides of the daughter cells

∙ 16y agoAnimal cells only have a cell membrane. Plants cells also have, in addition, a cell wall.
Plant cells also contain chlorophyll which is found in chloroplasts, which allows plants to photosynthesis, which allows oxygen production and the utilisation of carbon dioxide to produce food in the form of sugar (glucose) which from the point of view of a plant is pretty fundemental. It is the various chemical within the chlorophyll which causes plant leaves to be coloured.

Plant cells contain large vacuoles and animal cells do not. Animals cells contain flagellae and centrioles which are not found in plant cells

∙ 12y agoThe two structural differences between plant cells and animal cells are:
1) Plants have a cell wall in addition to cell membrane
In animals cell walls are absent
2)Plant cells are generraly larger in size.
Animal cells are smaller than plant cells.

∙ 12y agoPlant Cells have a more square or rectangle shape because they have a cell wall whereas animal cells dont because they dont have a cell wall. In addition, the plant cell contains one large vacuole and an animal cell contains many small vacuoles. Most plant cells dont contain lysosomes but animal cells do. Plant Cells have chloroplasts but animal cells don't.
Plant Cells:
Cell Wall
Chloroplasts
One large vacuole
Rectangle shape
Animal Cells:
Many small vacuoles
Circular shape
Lysosomes

2 cell wall is absent
Plant cells - 1 plant cells are are larger than animal cells
2 the plasma membrane of plant cells is surrounded by a rigid cell wall of cellulose

What are some differences between animal and plant cells for fourth grade?
Plant has a nucleus animal doesnt and plant has cytoplasm
What is one main difference between an animal cell and a plant cell?
There are two differences which are always true. Animal cells do not have a cell wall or a permanent vacuole, plant cells do.
What are 5 structural differences between plant and animal cells?
The first difference is that the animal cell does not consists of cell wall. Second- There is absence of chloroplasts in animal cell, Third- There is presence of very small vacuoles in animal cells as compared to larger vacuoles in the plants. Fourth- the centriole is absent in most plant cells. Fifth- Lignin deposits are absent in animal cells
What is differences between plant tissues and animal tissues?
because animal tissues have small vacuole and plant tissue has big vacuole
Why is the shape of plant cells important?
it is important because it helps identify the differences between animal and plant cell for example there are no cell wall in animal cells and also there are small vacuoles in animal cell and also they have centrioles for cell division. but for plant cell they have everything.
What are two structural differences between animal and plant?
The two structural differences between plant cells and animal cells are: 1) Plants have a cell wall in addition to cell membrane In animals cell walls are absent 2)Plant cells are generraly larger in size. Animal cells are smaller than plant cells.
What are some differences between animal and plant cells for fourth grade?
Plant has a nucleus animal doesnt and plant has cytoplasm
What are the main differences between plant cells and animal cells?
the plant cell is round and the animal cell is squered
What are the differences and the similarities between the plant and animal cell?
Animal cells have no cell Walls and plant cells have a cell wall
What are the plants and animals different?
The differences between a plant and an animal * An animal eats different types of things a plant uses photosynthesis * A plant grows underground and a animal does not.
What are the three structural differences between a typical animal cell and a typical green plant cell?
The three differences between typical plant and animal cells involve plant cells having something that animal cells lack. Two of these three differences, the vacuole and the cell wall, are both designed for support and strength for the overall structure of the plant. The third difference, the chloroplast, is a more mechanical difference, as it allows the plants to photosynthesize.
Does plants and animal cells have no differences?
Yes, there are differences between plants and animal cells, following differences can be considered : 1) Plant cells have cell wall which is absent in animal cell. 2) Plant cell lack centrioles whereas animal cells have centrioles.
What are 3 differences between and animal and a cell plant?
Animal cells have Lysosomes Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts and a central vacuole
Was there any other structural difference between the plant cell and the animal cell that you were able to observe?
Plant cells have cell walls and chloroplast
What is differences between plant and animal cells?
1) Plant cells have cell wall which is absent in animal cell. 2) Plant cell lack centrioles whereas animal cells have centrioles.
Are plant cells usually smaller or larger than animal cells?
Plant cells can be larger than animal cells. The normal range for an animal cell varies from 10 to 30 micrometers while that for a plant cell stretches from 10 to 100 micrometers. Beyond size, the main structural differences between plant and animal cells lie in a few additional structures found in animal cells. These structures include: chloroplasts, the cell wall, and vacuoles
