Plant Cell Animal cell Plant Cell Animal cell  similarities ✔ They have cell membranes that enclose C the cell. E ✔ Both are filled with cytoplasm, a gel-like L substance containing chemicals needed by the cell. L ✔ They have a nucleus where DNA is stored.  similarities ✔ They both have mitochondria that use C oxygen to break down food and release energy. E L ✔ Both kinds of cells have vacuoles that contain food, water, or waste products. L (Animal cells usually have many more vacuoles than plant cells do.)  similarities ✔ Both have endoplasmic reticulum, where C a system of tubes transports proteins. E ✔ Both have Golgi bodies to distribute L proteins outside of the cell. L ✔ They have ribosomes, protein builders of cells.  DIFFERENCES ✔ Plant cells have cell walls that provide structure. Animal cells do not have cell walls. ✔ A few large animal cells have more than one nucleus, but plant cells ALWAYS have just one. ✔ Plant cells have chloroplasts for photosynthesis. Animal cells do not.  DIFFERENCES ✔ Animal cells use mitochondria for energy production. Plants primarily use chloroplasts to produce energy. ✔ Animal cells tend to have many small vacuoles. Mature plant cells may have only one large vacuole. ✔ Animals cells have lysosomes, but plant cells do not.
