Animal cells are eukaryotic cells with a membrane-bound nucleus. Animal cells are generally smaller than plant cells. Another defining characteristic is its irregular shape.  Plant cells are eukaryotic cells that vary in several fundamental factors from other eukaryotic organisms. The plant cell is rectangular and comparatively larger than the animal cell. Plant cells are the building blocks of plants. Photosynthesis is the major function performed by plant cells.
