The main difference between an animal cell and a bacterial cell is that a bacterial cell contains a plasmid, a ring of DNA, opposed to the chromosomes that animal cells possess. There are other differences, such as size (bacterial cells are many times smaller) and whether or not they contain membrane bound organelles, which bacteria do not. Bacteria cells have also flagella/flagellum that an animal cells (except spermatozoa or sperm cells) does not, a "tail" strand that extends out of the cell to propel it forward.

What is the differenc e of a animal cell from a plant and bacterial cell?

The difference between animal cells, plant cells, and bacteria is quite simple. Animal and plant cells have a nucleus, bacterial cells don't. Bacteria and plant cells both have cell walls, but animal cells don't. And plant cells are the only ones that have chloroplasts.


How can you tell the difference between a typical plant cell and a typical animal cell?

Typical plant cells have cell walls, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and large central vacuoles, while animal cells do not have cell walls, chloroplasts or large central vacuoles. Animal cells may have centrioles that plant cells lack.


Is a typical plant cell smaller than a typical animal cell?

No, a typical plant cell is generally larger than a typical animal cell. Plant cells are usually between 10 to 100 micrometers in size, while animal cells are typically between 10 to 30 micrometers. This size difference is due to the presence of a rigid cell wall in plant cells that provides structural support and allows them to grow larger.
