1. Cell Wall: Plant cells have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose that surrounds the cell membrane. This wall provides structural support and protection, allowing plants to stand upright and withstand pressure. Animal cells lack this rigid outer layer.
2. Chloroplasts: Plant cells contain chloroplasts, organelles responsible for photosynthesis. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, the green pigment that captures light energy and converts it into chemical energy in the form of sugars. Animal cells lack chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis.
