Plant Cell vs Animal Cell

Biology | Natural Science

1. Plant Cell

Plant cells are the basic structural units of plants. They have special structures that help plants produce food through photosynthesis.

• Cell wall present
• Chloroplasts present
• Large central vacuole
• Rectangular or regular shape

2. Animal Cell

Animal cells are the basic units of animal tissues and organs. They do not have some of the structures found in plant cells.

• No cell wall
• No chloroplasts
• Small vacuoles
• Round or irregular shape
