Dear Student

Animal cell is a eukaryotic cell which do not have cell wall. It contains a well defined nucleus in which genetic material is present. It is surrounded by cytoplasm in which other membrane bound organelles such as mitochondria, golgi body etc are found.

A plant cell is a eukaryotic cell enclosed by a rigid cell wall, cell membrane and a prominent nucleus. Cell wall is present outside the cell membrane and is composed of cellulose. Cytoplasm is the semi liquid substance present inside the cell bound by the cell membrane. A large vacuole, several cell organelles like mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, plastids, ribosome, lysosome, golgi complex and several other organelles are present.
