    Plant and animal cells have several key differences. [1] Plant cells are generally larger, ranging from 10 to 100 micrometers, while animal cells are smaller at 10 to 30 micrometers. [2] Plant cells have fixed, rectangular shapes and a cell wall made of cellulose, whereas animal cells are round and irregular in shape and lack a cell wall. [3] A major difference is the presence of chloroplasts in plant cells which allow them to perform photosynthesis.

    Animal Cells vs Plant Cells

    Plant cells can be larger than animal cells. The normal range for an animal cell
    varies from 10 to 30 micrometers while that for a plant cell stretches from 10 to 100
    micrometers.

    Plant and animal cells have several differences and similarities. For example,
    animal cells do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts but plant cells do. Animal cells are
    round and irregular in shape while plant cells have fixed, rectangular shapes.

    Növényinek van sejtfala (cellulózból), állatinak nincs. Emiatt a növényi sejtek sokkal merevebbek
    mint az állatiak. És általában nagy sejtüreget is tartalmaznak, ami a térfogatuk nagy részét teszi
    ki.

    Ami még fontos különbség, a kloroplasztisz jelenléte a növényi sejtekben. Ez a sejtszervecske


    felel a fotoszintézisért.

    1. Size: Animal cells are generally smaller than plant cells. Animal cells
    range from 10 to 30 micrometers in length, while plant cells range
    from 10 and 100 micrometers in length.
    2. Shape: 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.
    3. Energy Storage: Animals cells store energy in the form of the
    complex carbohydrate glycogen. Plant cells store energy as starch.
    4. Proteins: Of the 20 amino acids needed to produce proteins, only 10
    can be produced naturally in animal cells. The other so-called
    essential amino acids must be acquired through diet. Plants are
    capable of synthesizing all 20 amino acids.
    5. Differentiation: In animal cells, only stem cells are capable of
    converting to other cell types. Most plant cell types are capable of
    differentiation.
    6. Growth: Animal cells increase in size by increasing in cell numbers.
    Plant cells mainly increase cell size by becoming larger. They grow by
    absorbing more water into the central vacuole.
    7. Cell Wall: Animal cells do not have a cell wall but have a cell
    membrane. Plant cells have a cell wall composed of cellulose as well as
    a cell membrane.
    8. Centrioles: Animal cells contain these cylindrical structures that
    organize the assembly of microtubules during cell division. Plant cells
    do not typically contain centrioles.
    9. Cilia: Cilia are found in animal cells but not usually in plant cells.
    Cilia are microtubules that aid in cellular locomotion.
    10. Cytokinesis: Cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm during cell
    division, occurs in animal cells when a cleavage furrow forms that
    pinches the cell membrane in half. In plant cell cytokinesis, a cell
    plate is constructed that divides the cell.
    11. Glyoxysomes: These structures are not found in animal cells, but
    are present in plant cells. Glyoxysomes help to degrade lipids,
    particularly in germinating seeds, for the production of sugar.
    12. Lysosomes: Animal cells possess lysosomes which contain enzymes
    that digest cellular macromolecules. Plant cells rarely contain
    lysosomes as the plant vacuole handles molecule degradation.
    13. Plastids: Animal cells do not have plastids. Plant cells contain
    plastids such as chloroplasts, which are needed for photosynthesis.
    14. Plasmodesmata: Animal cells do not have plasmodesmata. Plant
    cells have plasmodesmata, which are pores between plant cell walls
    that allow molecules and communication signals to pass between
    individual plant cells.
    15. Vacuole: Animal cells may have many small vacuoles. Plant cells
    have a large central vacuole that can occupy up to 90% of the cell's
    volume.
