1. Cell Wall: Plant cells have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose that provides structural support and protection. Animal cells lack a cell wall.
2. Chloroplasts: Plant cells contain chloroplasts, organelles that perform photosynthesis, using sunlight to create energy. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts.
3. Vacuoles: Plant cells typically have a large central vacuole that stores water and nutrients, helping maintain cell shape and turgor pressure. Animal cells have smaller vacuoles, if any, with more diverse functions.
