Tabulate the major differences between plant cell and animal cell.
Differences between animal and plant cells are as follows
Feature | Animal Cell | Plant Cell |
---|---|---|
Cell wall | Absent | Present |
Shape | Round (irregular shape) | Rectangular (fixed shape) |
Vacuole | One or more small vacuoles (much smaller than plant cells) | One large central vacuole taking upto 90% of cell volume |
Centrioles | Present in all animal cells | Only present in lower forms of plants |
Chloroplasts | Animal cells do not have chloroplasts | Plant cells have chloroplasts because they make their own food |
Lysosomes | These occur in cytoplasm | These usually are not evident |
