Plant cells vs. Animal cells(Differences)- 5 differences each.________________________________________________________________________

Plant cells:
                                                                  
Plant cell

1- Plants cells are usually larger in size.

2-It cannot change it's shape.

3-Plastids are present. Plant cells exposed to sunlight contain chloroplast.

4-A mature plant cell contains a large central vacuole

5-Nucleus lies on 1 side in the peripheral cytoplasm ...

Animal cells:

1-An animal cell is comparatively smaller in size.                      

2-An animal cell can often change it's shape.

3-Plastids are usually absent.

4-An animal cell often possesses many small vacuoles.

5-Nucleus usually lies in the center in the peripheral cytoplasm...

Plant and animal cells have several differences and similarities. For example, animal cells do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts but plant cells do. Animal cells are round and irregular in shape while plant cells have fixed, rectangular shapes.
Plant and animal cells are both eukaryotic cells, so they have several features in common, such as the presence of a cell membrane, and cell organelles, like the nucleus, mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum.
Cells are the building block of life. Plant cells can also be specialized with each cell having a specific tasks with the cells working together to ensure the survival of the plant.
