How do Plant and Animal Cells Differ?
Answer
Both animal and plant cells are eukaryotic which means they have a defined nucleus. One of the primary differences is that plant cells have a cell wall made up of cellulose. This helps the plant cells to allow pressure to build inside of it without bursting. A plant cell has to be able to accept large amounts of liquid through osmosis, without being destroyed (or bursting). An animal cell does not have this cell wall and would eventually pop if filled with too much water or other fluid.1 Additional Answer
Plant and animal cells have 3 major differences. Plant cells have cell walls which make them appear to be rectangular shaped. Animal cells do not have cell walls and appear round in shape. Plant cells have chlorophyll, a light-absorbing pigment required for photosynthesis. Chlorophyll gives plant cells their green color. Plant cells also have a large, central vacuole. Animal cells have one or more small vacuoles that do not take up the volume that the central vacuole does in plant cells (up to 90% of hte entire cell volume).

Plant and animal cells are similar in that they both have a nucleus which contains chromosomes. In both cells this nucleus is protected by a watery liquid called cytoplasm.
