Study Notes
Animal vs. Plant Cells
- Animal cells have an irregular shape while plant cells have a definite rectangular shape.
- Animal cells lack a cell wall while plant cells have a cell wall.
- Plant cells have chloroplasts, which allow them to perform photosynthesis. Animal cells lack chloroplasts.
- Plant cells have a large central vacuole, while animal cells have small or absent vacuoles.
- Both animal and plant cells have a nucleus, ribosomes, and mitochondria.
