∙ 5y agoThere are several differences between plant and animal cells. The following are three of the of the major differences:
Marcelina Crona
The major in cell division (cytokinesis) in plant and animal cells is in plant cells, meiosis is only undergone from a spore to a sporophyte (from 2n to n) whereas in the animal cells, meiosis splits the sex cells into 4 new cells.
Although both have their differences, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have the greater difference. The only major differences between plant and animal cells is that plants have a vacuole, chloroplasts, and a cell wall, while animal cells do not. Plant cells produce their own food, while animal cells mist consume food to obtain energy. The difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is much larger. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and all other organelles. They have only one circular chromosome, and a plasmid. Eukaryotic cells are much more complex.
A plant cell has a cell wall, chloroplasts and a large vacuole and an animal cell doesn't have any of these.
The most obvious difference is that a eukaryotic cell contains a nucleus and a prokaryotic cell does not. Another difference is the complexity of prokaryotic vs eukaryotic cells. In general, eukaryotic cells are bigger and much more complex than prokaryotic cells.
cell walls
The major in cell division (cytokinesis) in plant and animal cells is in plant cells, meiosis is only undergone from a spore to a sporophyte (from 2n to n) whereas in the animal cells, meiosis splits the sex cells into 4 new cells.
The major difference between them is that an animal cell does NOT have a cell wall and chloroplast like those in plants.
1) Plant cells have cell wall which is absent in animal cell. 2) Plant cell lack centrioles whereas animal cells have centrioles.
In a plant cell the vacuole is much larger than the animal cells vacuole. The plant cells vacuole mostly contains water. In the animal cells vacuole it is used to store waste.Animal cells do not have vacuoles. Only plant cells

Plant cells central vacuole is much larger than an animals vacuoles.

In plant cells, a cell plate separates the two new cells, along which cellulose is formed, producing a new cell wall.
In a plant cell the vacuole is much larger than the animal cells vacuole. The plant cells vacuole mostly contains water. In the animal cells vacuole it is used to store waste.Animal cells do not have vacuoles. Only plant cells
difference is that animals cells do not contain chloroplasts or cell walls
the vacuoles in an animal cell are smaller and help digest food, while plant cells have one central vacuole that takes up 60-90% of the cell depending on how much water it holds at a given time.
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, but white blood cells do not
