Let me share with you a comparison between Animal and Plant cell.
| Characteristic | Animal Cell | Plant Cell |
| Cell Wall | Absent | Present (made of cellulose) |
| Cell Membrane | Present | Present |
| Chloroplasts | Absent | Present |
| Nucleus Location | Generally centrally located within the cell. | Often located at the cell periphery due to the large central vacuole. |
| Vacuole | Small or absent | Large central vacuole for storage and support |
| Plastids | Absent | · Chloroplasts
· Amyloplasts · Chromoplasts |
| Shape | Usually round or irregular | Often rectangular or angular |
| Lysosomes | Present | Rarely present |
| Centrioles | Present | Absent |
| Cytokinesis through | Typically involves cleavage furrow | Involves cell plate formation |
| Storage of Starch | Rarely stores starch | Commonly stores starch in amyloplasts |
| Mitochondria | Present | Present but fewer in number than animal cell |
| Cytoplasmic Streaming | Common | Uncommon |
| Microtubule Organization | Radial arrays from centrosome | Random orientation |
| Peroxisomes | Commonly present | Often present |
| Contractile Vacuoles | Present in some animal cells. | Absent |
| Glyoxysomes | Absent | Present |
| Plasmodesmata | Absent | Present for cell-cell communication. |
