Plant cells have three structures that animal cells lack. Plant cells have chloroplasts to capture the energy from the sun. Plant cells have a large central vacuole for storage of water, nutrients, salts and other materials. Animal cells do have vacuoles but on a much smaller scale. The third main difference is that plant cells are surrounded by both a cell membrane and cell wall. Animal cells do not have the neat, organized shape that plant cells demonstrate due to this cell wall.

Animal cells have lysosomes and centrioles, while plant cells have chloroplasts and cell walls. Both types have a nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus. Plant cells also typically have larger vacuoles compared to animal cells.
People have animal cells. Plant cells are found in plants.

Plant cells have cell walls and chloroplasts. Animal cells don't.
Plants and animal cells have some differences, such as the presence of a cell wall in plant cells and chloroplasts for photosynthesis. Animal cells do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts. Additionally, plant cells have large central vacuoles, while animal cells do not typically have large vacuoles.
Animal cells contain centriole that is absent in plants .
