Plant Cell vs Animal Cell

Plant cells have a cell wall, animal cells do not
Plant cells have a large central vacuole, animal cells have small vacuoles or none
Plant cells contain chloroplasts, animal cells do not
Animal cells have centrioles (a cell organelle), plant cells do not

Cell Wall

The cell wall is a rigid outer layer of plant cells
It provides support and shape to the plant
It is non-living
It's composed of cellulose, a water-loving substance, it's in the form of fibers
Primary cell wall: expandable, allows cell growth
Secondary cell wall: forms after cell growth, provides support

Cell Wall Structure

Middle lamella: sticky layer between adjacent cell walls, composed of calcium and magnesium
Primary cell wall: not arranged in an orderly manner, includes pit fields (primary pit fields)
- Contains pits, which allow communication between cells via plasmodesmata (connections between cells)
Secondary cell wall: develops in cells that have stopped growing, provides support
Suberin (waxy) is part of the secondary cell wall and has a different function

Types of Pits

Simple pit: one pit
Compound pit: two pits
Arrayed pit: multiple pits
Common pit: no opposite pit
