    Animal cells lack a cell wall, vacuole, and chloroplasts that plant cells contain. Animal cells tend to be rounder while plant cells are more often rectangular, hexagonal, or square in shape. The key differences between animal and plant cells are that animal cells do not have a cell wall, vacuole, or chloroplasts, and tend to be rounder, whereas plant cells have these structures and are more often rectangular, hexagonal or square in shape.
