Here’s a summary of the differences between plant cells and animal cells:
- Cell Wall:
- Plant Cell: Has a rigid cell wall made of cellulose for structural support and protection.
- Animal Cell: Lacks a cell wall; only has a flexible plasma membrane.
- Chloroplasts:
- Plant Cell: Contains chloroplasts, which enable photosynthesis to produce food.
- Animal Cell: Does not have chloroplasts; obtains nutrients through consumption.
- Vacuoles:
- Plant Cell: Has a large central vacuole that stores nutrients, waste products, and maintains cell turgor.
- Animal Cell: Contains smaller, more temporary vacuoles.
- Shape:
- Plant Cell: Generally has a fixed, rectangular shape due to the cell wall.
- Animal Cell: Typically has an irregular, round shape.
- Lysosomes:
- Plant Cell: Lysosomes are less common or less prominent.
- Animal Cell: Contains lysosomes which are involved in digestion and waste removal.
- Centrioles:
- Plant Cell: Generally lacks centrioles, which are involved in cell division.
- Animal Cell: Contains centrioles, which help in organizing microtubules during cell division.
