Comparison between plant and animal cells.
Plant cells Animal cells
- Plant cells are rectangular and larger than animal cells. 1. Animal cells are mostly round/oval and smaller than plant cells.
- Cellulose cell wall is makes the outer most boundary. 2. Animal cells lack cell wall.
- A mature plant cell has single, large, well developed vacuole.. 3. Mostly absent, if present, they are small and scattered.
- Golgi bodies components are diffused all over the cell and make dictyosomes. 4. Well developed Golgi bodies are present near the nucleus.
- Centrioles and centrosomes are absent; rather polar caps are present. 5. Centrioles and centrosomes are present.
- Plant cells have plastids. 6. Plastids are absent.
- Starch or oil serve as storage food material. 7. Glycogen serves as storage food material.
