Differences between Plant Cells and Animal Cells
- Plant cells possess both a cell wall and a cell membrane, providing structural support; animal cells have only a flexible cell membrane.
- Animal cells include a cytoskeleton that aids in shape maintenance and intracellular transport, while plant cells lack this structure.
- Chloroplasts are present in plant cells for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy; animal cells do not have chloroplasts.
- Plant cells feature a large central vacuole for storage and maintaining turgor pressure, whereas animal cells contain smaller vacuoles serving various functions.
- Generally, plant cells exhibit a rectangular shape promoting stability, while animal cells tend to be more rounded, allowing greater flexibility.
