Question

Differentiate between plant cells and animal cells.

Answer 1

• Plant cells almost always contain an extra cellular cell wall, which is made up of cellulose; whereas animal cells generally do not possess a cell wall.
• Plastids are a feature of most plant cells but are not found in the cells of animals.
  
• Vacuoles are quite prominent in plant cells, but are far less significant or absent in animal cells.
  
• While animal cells invariably demonstrate a pair of centrioles lying just outside the nucleus, centrioles usually do not occur in plant cells.
