Plant vs Animal Cells

Three differences between plant and animal cells

Plant cells

1. cellulose cell walls(gives structure and support to the cell)
2. chloroplasts (captures light energy for photosynthesis)
3. large central vacuole (stores food, water and wastes)

Animal cells

1. no cell walls
2. no chloroplasts
3. lacking or small vacuoles
