Difference Between Plant Cell And Animal Cell

• PLANT CELL• ************• Shape• Size• Cell Wall• Vacuole• Plastid• Centrosome• Mitochondria• Amino Acid• Cell Division

• ANIMAL CELL• **************• Shape• Size• Cell Wall• Vacuole• Plastid• Centrosome• Mitochondria• Amino Acid• Cell Division

SHAPE

• Plant cell is rectangular in shape.

• Animal cell is spherical in shape.

SIZE*****

*Plant cell is larger than Animal cell.

*Animal cell is smaller than plant cell.

CELL WALL

• Plant cell is covered by a thick cell wall.

• Cell wall is made up of cellulose and hemicellulose.

• ******************• Animal cell is covered by

a thin cell membrane.• It is made up of

Lipoprotein.• *******************

VACUOLE

• In plant cell, Vacuole is big,prominent and permanent.

• In animal cell, Vacuole is small,temporary and not so prominent.

PLASTID

• Plastids are present only in plant cell.

• Plastids are of three types.

• *Leucoplast

• *Chromoplast

• *Chloroplast

• !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• PLASTID IS ABSENT IN ANIMAL CELL.

CENTROSOME

• Centrosome is absent in plant cell.• ***************************

• Centrosome is present is animal cell.• *It helps in the process of cell division.• **************************************

MITOCHONDRIA

• The number of Mitochondria is less in plant cell than animal cell.

• The number of Mitochondria is approximately more in animal cell.

AMINO ACIDS

• In Plant Cell all the Amino acids can be synthesized.

• @@@@@@@@@

• Animal cell can synthesize only some kinds of Amino acids.

CELL DIVISION

• In Plant Cell ,Cell Division occurs by cell plate .

• In Animal Cell , Cell Division occurs by furrow in spite of cell plate.
