What is the difference between animal cells and plant calls?

Answer 1

Differences between animal and plant cells is that:

• Plant cells have a cell wall made up of cellulose.

• A plant cell has to be able to accept large amounts of liquid through osmosis, without being destroyed. An animal cell does not have this cell wall.

• Plant cells use photosynthesis to covert sunlight into needed food for the plant.

• Plant cells have chloroplasts, which has its own DNA, essentially directing the work of the chloroplasts.

• Also plant cells have a a large vacuole, which exists in the cell's cytoplasm.

• Animal cells have small vacuoles and may have numerous ones.

To sum it up nice and quick animal and plant cells both have a nucleus, a cytoplasm, and a cell membrane.

Plant cells also have a large cell vacuole, chloroplasts, a cell wall and a regular shape. Small vacuoles, no cell wall, varied shapes, and the absence of chloroplasts characterize animal cells.

Answer 2

Animal cells do not have a cell wall, while plant cells do. Plant cells have chloroplasts for photosynthesis, while animal cells do not. Additionally, plant cells often have a large central vacuole, whereas animal cells have smaller vacuoles.
