What distinguishes plant and animal cells?
A. Comparison between plant and animal cells. 1. Similarities- both have a cell membrane, a nucleus and a cytoplasm. They both have the same general structure. 2. Differences- Plant cells only have a cell wall. Plants only have chloroplasts. Only Animal cells have centrioles. The vacuoles in a plant cell are larger- storage. In animal cells they are smaller- specialized- food and water vacuoles.
