Make a comparison and write down ways in which plant cells are also different from animal cells.

Plant Cell

Animal Cell

• The cell wall of plant cells is made up of cellulose and is present outside the cell membrane.

• The photosynthetic cell is green due to the presence of chlorophyll.

• Centriole remains absent in the majority of the plant cell.

• Plant cell generally has a large centrally located vacuole.

• Cytokinesis takes place with the help of the formation of a cell plate.

• They have chloroplast to prepare their own food.

• The reserve food is stored in the form of starch.

• The cell wall remains absent in animal cells. The outermost covering of an animal cell is called the cell membrane or plasma membrane.

• Chloroplast is absent from animal cells.

• Centriole remains present in the majority of the animal cell.

• Inside an animal cell, vacuoles are generally small and are presently scattered throughout the cell.

• Cytokinesis takes place with help of the formation of a cell furrow.

• They do not contain chloroplast, hence cannot prepare their own food.

• The reserve food is stored in the form of glycogen.
