Well, chloroplasts are an organelle (structure) found in plant cells. they contain chlorophyll, a green chemical that allow photosynthesis to occur. Plants are surprisingly well adapted for this though, so even if we had the potential to photosynthesize, we would still require extra nutrition, meaning we would still have to eat plants and other animals, so its not a 'very' advantageous trait for most animals.

One reason plant cells have a cell wall is because they don't have any skeletal structure. the cell wall [once the vacuole, the water/food container, is full] allows the cell to become turgid, pushing against the cell wall and causing enough pressure to hold the plant up. We have a skeleton to keep us standing or sitting, etc. so we don't need extra support from our cells.

What cellular features differentiate plants from animals?

Plants have cell walls made of cellulose, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and large central vacuoles for storage. Animals lack cell walls and chloroplasts, and have smaller or absent vacuoles. Additionally, plant cells can differentiate into various types of cells as needed, while animal cells are mostly specialized and do not differentiate as easily.
