Plant cells have a cell wall made of cellulose, which provides structure and support to the plant. Animal cells do not have a cell wall.
Plants can photosynthesize, converting sunlight into energy, while animals cannot.
Plants have chloroplasts, which are responsible for photosynthesis, while animal cells do not.
Plants have large central vacuoles for storing water and nutrients, while animal cells have smaller vacuoles.
Overall, plant cells are specialized for photosynthesis and maintaining the structure of the plant, while animal cells are more specialized for mobility and sensory functions.
