Can someone explain the main differences between plant cells and animal cells? A simple comparison or table would be really helpful for my studies.
 
Plant cells and animal cells share many structures, but there are key differences
  1. Cell Wall – Plant cells have a rigid cell wall for support; animal cells do not.
  2. Chloroplasts – Plant cells contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis; animal cells do not.
  3. Vacuole – Plant cells have a large central vacuole for storage and turgor pressure; animal cells have small or no vacuoles.
  4. Shape – Plant cells are generally rectangular; animal cells are rounder and more flexible.
