Comparison of animal and plant cell structures.

- Plant cells have a cell wall, which provides structural support and protection; animal cells do not.
- Plant cells contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis; animal cells lack chloroplasts.
- Plant cells typically have a large central vacuole for storage and maintaining turgor pressure; animal cells have smaller, multiple vacuoles.
- Animal cells often have centrioles involved in cell division; plant cells generally do not.
- The shape of plant cells is usually more rigid and rectangular due to the cell wall, while animal cells are more flexible and can be various shapes.
