    This document compares and contrasts the structures of animal and plant cells. It notes that animal cells do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts, while plant cells do have a cell wall made of cellulose and usually contain chloroplasts. Both cell types contain a cell membrane, mitochondria, nucleus, and cytoplasm. However, plant cells usually have one large central vacuole, while animal cell vacuoles are smaller and more scattered.
