As a general rule, there are three main structures found in plant cells that typically are not found in animal cells.
The first is the cell wall, a hard, rigid structure made of cellulose that surrounds the cell membrane. This strengthens the cell, and helps it form a structure in a plant. Most animal cells need to be flexible and able to move, so they aren't usually found in animals.
The second is chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are small, ovular organelles that contain several small sacs with chlorophyll, a pigment, inside them (This is why plants are green). The chlorophyll helps use sunlight to initiate a chemical reaction called photosynthesis, which is how plants make "food" for itself. Most animals don't need to perform photosynthesis, so these organelles are only found in plants.
The last is a central Vacuole. Vacoules are sac-like organelles that a cell uses for storage. Of course, animal cells have vacuoles as well, but a different type. Plant cells have "central vacuoles", which is a large, central vacuole that takes up most of the space in the cell, allowing the plant cell to store a lot of food or materials. Animal cell instead have many smaller, vesicle-like vacuoles. cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large vacuole
