The differences are that plant cells have cell walls, vacuoles, and green chloroplasts.

Olivia M said...

The cell wall, chloroplasts, and vacuoles are a few things that are different between plant cells and animal cells.

Some differences between plant and animal cells is that plant cells have chloroplasts because they make their own food, but animal cells do not have chloroplasts.

Animal cells are blue and plant cells are green.

Braedon M said...

They are built differently

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.

The difference is that a plant cell has a cell wall and a animal cell does not.

Beyond size, the main structural differences between plant and animal cells lie in a few additional structures found in plant cells. These structures include: chloroplasts, the cell wall, and vacuoles.

The differences is that the plant cell dos not look like the animal cell.

Maddi T. said...

The difference is that plant cells have a cell wall, huge vacuoles, and several kinds of plastids, including chloroplasts while animal cells don't have all of that stuff.

From CK-12 reading.

Also plant cells are rectangular, and animal cells are circular.

plants cells are longer than animal cells.

Although, the overall function of the cell is the same, there are some important differences between animal and plant cells. The first difference is that plant cells have an organelle called chloroplast. Chloroplasts contain a pigment called chlorophyll (which gives the plant its green color).

Animal cells do not have rigid cell walls and chloroplasts,and they have smaller vaculoes. Plant cells have a rigid cell wall and chloroplasts and have a large central vaculoe.

The main differences are that animals cells don't have cell walls vacuoles, or green chloroplasts.

Plant cells have extra things that animal cells don't have, like, rigid cell walls, vacuole, and green chloroplast.

Jacob Varney said...

Plant cells have cell walls. Animal cells do not.

Josh Y said...

Animal cells do different stuff then Plant cells.

Wayne Twombly said...

Plant cells have walls and animal cells don't.

Alicia said...

One is in a plant one is in an animal.

Brooke Carman said...

Obvious Answer: one is in a plant. And one is in an animal.

More Scientific answer: Although, the overall function of the cell is the same, there are some important differences between animal and plant cells. The first difference is that plant cells have an organelle called chloroplast. Chloroplasts contain a pigment called chlorophyll (which gives the plant its green color).

Plant cells are the cells in plants, Human cells are in humans.

Animal cells can move

The difference between plants and animals are color.

DYLAN N said...

Plant cells are green.

They have different sizes and different cell patterns.

Beyond size, the main structural differences between plant and animal cells lie in a few additional structures found in plant cells. These structures include: chloroplasts, the cell wall, and vacuoles. Structurally, plant and animal cells are very similar because they are both eukaryotic cells. They both contain membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. Both also contain similar membranes, cytosol, and cytoskeletal elements. The functions of these organelles are extremely similar between the two classes of cells (peroxisomes perform additional complex functions in plant cells having to do with cellular respiration). However, the few differences that exist between plant and animals are very significant and reflect a difference in the functions of each cell.
Plant cells can be larger than animal cells. The normal range for an animal cell varies from 10 to 30 micrometers while that for a plant cell stretches from 10 to 100 micrometers. Beyond size, the main structural differences between plant and animal cells lie in a few additional structures found in plant cells. These structures include: chloroplasts, the cell wall, and vacuoles. In animal cells, the mitochondria produces the majority of the cells energy from food. It does not have the same function in plant cells. Plant cells use sunlight as their energy source; the sunlight must be converted into energy inside the cell in a process called photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are the structures that perform this function. They are rather large, double membrane-bound structures (about 5 micrometers across) that contain the substance chlorophyll, which absorbs sunlight. Additional membranes within the chloroplast contain the structures that actually carry out photosynthesis. Chloroplasts carry out energy conversion through a complex set of reactions similar to those performed by mitochondria in animals. The double membrane structure of chloroplasts is also reminiscent of mitochondria. The inner membrane encloses an area called the stoma, which is analogous to the matrix in mitochondria and houses DNA, RNA, ribosomes, and different enzymes. Chloroplasts, however, contain a third membrane and are generally larger than mitochondria.

There are many differences between plant and animal cells. A couple are animal cells don't have a cell wall, plant cells do. Animal cells are round, plant cells are rectangular.

Plant cells have green chloroplasts.

Animal cells are more circular, but plant cells are more square. They are also built slightly differently.

They have a rigid wall and plants also store a lot of water.

They have a cell wall too.

1 they have a rigid cell wall.

There are lots of differences between plant and animal cells. One is that animal cells are round and plant cells are rectangular. Also, animal cells don't have a cell wall, plant cells have ridged walls.
