What is the difference between a plant cell and an animal cell?

[ErlindaDea]

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.

Plant cells have a rigid cell wall, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and a large central vacuole. Animal cells lack a cell wall and chloroplasts but have centrioles and smaller vacuoles. Both share organelles like the nucleus and mitochondria.

A plant cell also has a cell wall and chloroplasts and a massive central vacuole that enable it to be viable to photosynthesize and have a rigid structure. These are missing in an animal cell and instead, it has centrioles and small vacuoles to play versatile roles.

Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large vacuole for making food, while animal cells don’t. Animal cells are more flexible and focus on movement and energy use instead.

 

[Michael Anderson]

The plant cells possess cell walls, chloroplasts and large vacuoles whereas the animal cells do not and are usually more malleable in shape.

Plant cells contain cell wall, chloroplasts, and large vacuole and animal cells do not contain them, their structure is more flexible.

Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large vacuole, while animal cells lack these and usually have centrioles and smaller vacuoles.

Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole, enabling photosynthesis and structural support. Animal cells lack these features but contain centrioles and smaller vacuoles. Both share a nucleus, mitochondria, cytoplasm, and a cell membrane.

 

[Boogyman]

Sure! The main differences are: plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and large vacuoles, while animal cells don’t. Animal cells have centrioles and more flexible shapes. Basically, plant cells are built for structure and photosynthesis, while animal cells are more mobile and versatile.

 

[Luca]

Plant cells are made up of a cell wall, chloroplasts and large central vacuole to store, photosynthesize and store information. These are absent in animal cells but present in centrioles and smaller vacuoles which make animal cells more flexible.
