Differences between plant and animal cells:

Plant cellAnimal cell1. Has a cell wall.1. Does not have a cell wall.2. Has plastids.2. Does not have plastids.3. Vacuoles are usually large and are found in the middle of the cell.3. Small vacuoles are found scattered throughout the cell.4. Does not have centrioles (exception: some lower-order plant cells do have centrioles).4. All animal cells have centrioles.5. The presence of lysosomes is rare.5. Animal cells always have lysosomes.6. Has glyoxysomes.6. Does not have glyoxysomes.7. Has plasmodesmata.7. Does not have plasmodesmata.8. Stored food - starch.8. Stored food - glycogen.9. Does not have desmosomes.9. Has desmosomes.10. Capable of synthesizing all the amino acids, coenzymes, and vitamins needed by animal cells.10. Not capable of synthesizing all the amino acids, coenzymes, and vitamins it needs for itself.11. Because the cell wall is present, the cell does not burst in a hypotonic solution.11. Since the cell wall is absent, animal cells burst in a hypotonic solution.12. Does not have microvilli.12. The cell membrane has microvilli.
