Plant cells usually have three parts which are not present in human or animal cells: 1) A cell wall; this is a thick layer around the outside of the plant cell made of a substance called cellulose. The job of the cell wall is to strengthen and support the cell. 2) A central vacuole; this is a space in the centre of the cell filled with a watery solution called cell sap. The sap contains salts, sugars, amino acids and wastes. As well as storing these substances the vacuole helps to support the cell. 3) Chloroplasts; these are structures containing the green pigment called chlorophyll, which traps sunlight. Their job is to make food for the plant by the process of photosynthesis.

What structures do dividing plant cells lack?
Dividing plant cells lack centrioles. Centrioles are barrel shaped and found in animal cells. They replicated during mitosis and produce spindle fibers.
What two organelles do plant cells have that animal cells lack?
The two organelles that plant cells have that animal cells lack are: 1. Cell wall 2. Vacuole.
What are three structures that plant cells have that animal cells lack?
The animals cells do not have a cell wall whereas plant cells do. The plant cells have a large vacuole with cell sap whereas animal cells have many small vacuoles with no cell sap. The plant cells have chloroplast whereas animal cells do not.
What does a plant cell have that a anim al cell doesnt have?
An animal cell has lysosomes and centrioles where a plant cell doesn't. also a plant cell has a cell wall and chloroplast.
How are plant cells different from animals cells?
Plant cells have a cell wall and the cell membrane while animal cells have only a cell membrane. Also, plant cells have chloroplasts and they make their own food by trapping sunlight for sugar. Unlike Plant Cells, Animal Cells have Moving Cells and they have smaller vacuoles. Due to the lack of a rigid cell wall, animal cells can adopt a variety of shapes, and a phagocytic cell can even engulf other structures. click on 'related links' below to see a picture of a plant cell and an animal cell.

What two organelles do animal cells have that plant cells lack?
The two organelles that plant cells have that animal cells lack are: 1. Cell wall 2. Vacuole.
Are there any different cell types?
There are many different kinds of cells. The two overarching classifications are Prokaryotic cells (bacteria and other cells that lack a nucleus) and Eukaryotic (cells that do have a nucleus and a cell membrane). Eukaryotic can be further divided into categories such as plant and animal cells where there are more differences. Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts and a large vacuole whereas animal cells only have small vacuoles. There is also cell differentiation in which cells have different structures to complement their different functions. Blood cells have different structures to nerve cells in humans, and liver cells contain massive amounts of ribosomes so they can create proteins.
Do plant cells lack centrioles while animal cells do not?
no
What two organelles do plant cells have that animal cells lack?

What cell parts do animals lack?
None. They have the same type of cells as humans (eukaryotic) However, compared to a plant cell, they lack a cell wall, chloroplasts, large central ventricle

What do plant cells have the animal cells lack?
cell wall (cellulose)
What cells chloroplasts cell walls and vacuoles?
They are in plant cells. Animal cells lack them
What does a plant cell have that a anim al cell doesnt have?
An animal cell has lysosomes and centrioles where a plant cell doesn't. also a plant cell has a cell wall and chloroplast.
