* Cell wall: A rigid outer layer that provides support and structure to the cell.
* Chloroplasts: The organelles responsible for photosynthesis, which allows plants to produce their own food.
* Large central vacuole: A large, fluid-filled sac that helps regulate water balance and store nutrients in plant cells.
* Plasmodesmata: Channels that connect the cytoplasm of adjacent plant cells, allowing communication and transport.
In addition to these structures, animal cells also lack:
* Glycogen: The main storage form of carbohydrates in animal cells.
It's important to note that while animal cells lack these specific structures, they have other structures that plant cells do not, such as:
* Centrioles: Organelles involved in cell division.
* Lysosomes: Organelles that break down waste materials.
The differences in structure between animal and plant cells reflect their different functions and lifestyles.
