What is the difference between plant and animal cells?

There are lots of differences between plant and animal cells. Take a look below at some of the biggest differences.

Plant cells have a cell wall, but animal cells do not.

Animal cells are generally smaller than plant cells.

Animal cells come in various sizes and tend to have round or irregular shapes. Plant cells are more similar in size and are typically rectangular or cube-shaped.

Animal cells do not have plastids. Plant cells contain plastids such as chloroplasts, which are needed for photosynthesis.
