Plant cells are bigger than animal cells because they have a fixed shape and animal cells have an irregular shape. Plant cells also have bigger vacuoles and chloroplasts (which the animal doesn't have) therefore adding to its largeness.

Edited answer:

The largest single cell is an animal egg. this is so because in many cases (as in birds) this cell has to develop into a juvenile animal on its food reserves after getting fertilized.

How is bacteria cells different from animal and plant cells?

The cells of bacteria are different from those of plants and animals in many ways, the most obvious of which is that bacteria lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles (except ribosomes). Unlike animals and plants, bacteria have pili, flagella, and most have a cell capsule.


Is prokaryote or eukaryote a bacteria or plant cell or animal cell?

Prokaryote cells are typically bacteria, while eukaryote cells can be plant or animal cells. Bacteria are prokaryotic, meaning they lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells. Plant and animal cells are examples of eukaryotic cells, containing a distinct nucleus and various membrane-bound organelles.


How are plant animal and bacterial cells alike and different?

The cells of plants and animals are extensively larger than the cells of bacteria. Animal cells average about 10 to 30 micrometers, plant cells between 10 and 100 micrometers while bacterial cells are 2 micrometers.


Is an ant made of plant cells or animal cells?

An ant is made of animal cells. Ants are insects, which are part of the animal kingdom. Plant cells are found in plants, not in animals.


What structure is found only in plant cells and not in animal or bacteria cells?

Plant and animal cells, being eukaryotic cells, have nuclei. These are not present in bacteria since they are prokaryotic (before-yolk, i.e. before-nucleus) cells by definition. Viruses also do not have nuclei since they are acellular in nature.

How many bacteria can fit into animal cells?

Bacteria cells are smaller than animal cells. While a bacteria cell is about one micron, an animal cell is about 10 microns. From this data, about ten bacteria cells will fit into an animal cell.
