Difference Between Plant Cell And Animal Cell

1. PLANT CELL ************ Shape Size Cell Wall Vacuole Plastid Centrosome Mitochondria Amino Acid Cell Division ANIMAL CELL ************** Shape Size Cell Wall Vacuole Plastid Centrosome Mitochondria Amino Acid Cell Division Difference Between Plant Cell And Animal Cell

2. SHAPE • Plant cell is rectangular in shape. • Animal cell is spherical in shape.

3. SIZE***** *Plant cell is larger than Animal cell. *Animal cell is smaller than plant cell.

4. CELL WALL • Plant cell is covered by a thick cell wall. • Cell wall is made up of cellulose and hemicellulose. • ****************** • Animal cell is covered by a thin cell membrane. • It is made up of Lipoprotein. • *******************

5. VACUOLE • In plant cell, Vacuole is big,prominent and permanent. • In animal cell, Vacuole is small,temporary and not so prominent.

6. PLASTID • Plastids are present only in plant cell. • Plastids are of three types. • *Leucoplast • *Chromoplast • *Chloroplast • !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! • PLASTID IS ABSENT IN ANIMAL CELL.

7. CENTROSOME • Centrosome is absent in plant cell. • *************************** • Centrosome is present is animal cell. • *It helps in the process of cell division. • **************************************

8. MITOCHONDRIA • The number of Mitochondria is less in plant cell than animal cell. • The number of Mitochondria is approximately more in animal cell.

9. AMINO ACIDS • In Plant Cell all the Amino acids can be synthesized. • @@@@@@@@@ • Animal cell can synthesize only some kinds of Amino acids.
