1) Plant cells have a cell wall as well as a cell membrane, animal cells only have a cell membrane
2) Plant cells have chloroplasts as well as mitochondria, while animal cells only have mitochondria
3) Plant cells tend to be more rectangular shaped and animal cells tend to be more round shaped.
4) Plant cells store glucose in the form of of starch granules and cellulose, animal cells store glucose in the form of glycogen.
Typically, the extracellular matrix of plant cells is made up of a fairly chemically resistant polysaccharide called cellulose. This non-living matrix is rigid and helps plants to maintain their shape based on turgor pressure. For the most part, animals lack an extracellular matrix. However, some animals secrete chitinous, proteinaceous, or calcareous materials that may be used in protection of the animal.
Plant cells have:
Chloroplast
Rectangular
have cell walls
have plastids
Animal cell
No Chloroplast
Round
No Cell Walls
No plastids
Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, whereas animal cells do not.
Plant ECM is primarily carbohydrate in nature, whereas animal ECM is largely protein based.
COLLAGEN
An extracellular matrix is produced by glycoprotein secretion by animal cells. The simplest cells are the prokaryotic bacteria. Ribosomes are structures that are found within bacterial cells.
Extracellular matrix includes not just ground substance, but also protein fibers. Ground substance consists of fluid, nonfibrous protein and other molecules.
Fibroblasts are responsible for synthesizing extracellular matrix components, - ground substances and collagen. Chondroblasts are responsible for synthesis of cartilage.
Integrins

Collagen is the connective tissue.

The cells are often bound to the extracellular matrix by proteins in the plasma membrane. The extracellular matrix is the structural support of tissue.

Integrins
Cell membrane is the outer barrier of cell which seperates it from the extracellular matrix.
they have functional connections with the cytoskeleton inside the cell.
