    Plant cells have a rigid cell wall and large central vacuoles. They are typically larger than animal cells and contain organelles like plastids and simpler Golgi apparatus. In contrast, animal cells lack a cell wall and have smaller vacuoles. They are generally smaller than plant cells and contain features like centrosomes, cilia, prominent lysosomes, and a single Golgi apparatus. The key differences are that plant cells have a cell wall and undergo photosynthesis, while animal cells do not have a cell wall and are heterotrophic.

    1. A plant cell is surrounded by a rigid cell wall. 1. An animal cell does not have a cell wall.

    2. Presence of a large vacuole is seen in plant cells. 2. Whereas there are very small vacuoles as
    compared to plant cells are seen in animal
    cells.

    3. Larger in size. 3. Smaller in size.

    4. Plant cells have plastids. Both animal and plant 4. Animal cells do not have plastids.

    5. Centrosomes are absent in plant cells cells are eukaryotic cells 5. Animal cells have centrosomes.

    6. Plant cells do not have cilia.  and have several similarities 6. Animal cells have cilia.

    7. Lysosomes are very rare in plant cells. 7. Animal cells have lysosomes.

    8. The mode of nutrition is primarily autotrophic. 8. The mode of nutrition is
