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.
