Difference between Plant cell and Animal cell:1. A plant cell is usually larger in size.2. It is enclosed by a rigid cellulose cell wall in addition to plasma membrane.3. It cannot change its shape.4. Plastids are present. Plant cells exposed to sunlight contain chloroplast.5. A mature plant cell contains a large central vacuole.6. Nucleus lies on one side in the peripheral cytoplasm.7. Centrioles are usually absent except in motile cells of lower plants.8. Lysosomes are rare.9. Glyoxysomes may be present.10. Tight junctions and desmosomes are lacking. Plasmodesmata is present.11. Reserve food is generally in the form of starch.12. Plant cell synthesise all amino acids , coenzymes and vitamins required by them.13. Spindles formed during cell divisions in anastral i.e. without asters at opposite poles.14. Cytokinesis occurs by cell plate method.15. Plant cell does not burst if placed in hypotonic solution due to the presence of the cell wall.Animal Cell:1. An animal cell is comparatively smaller in size.2. It is enclosed by a thin, flexible plasma membrane only.3. An animal cell can often change its shape.4. Plastids are usually absent.5. An animal cell often possesses many small vacuoles.6. Nucleus usually lies in the centre.7. Centrioles are practically present in animal cells.8. Lysosomes are always present in animal cells.9. They are absent.10. Tight junctions and desmosomes are present between cells. Plasmodesmata are usually absent.11. Reserve food is usually glycogen.12. Animal cell cannot synthesise all the amino acids, co enzymes and vitamins required by them.13. Spindle formed during cell division is amphiastral i.e. has an ester at each pole.14. Cytokinesis occurs by construction or furrowing.15. Animal cell lacking contractile vacuoles usually burst, if placed in hypertonic solution.

Plant cell have Extra Outer Covering Called Cell Wall whereas Animal Cell Doesn't. ......Plant Cell have Chloroplast which is responsible for green colour pigment whereas animal cell doesn't
