Answer 1

1.Plant cell is larger in size where as the animal cell is smaller.
2.plant cell has a cell wall whereas an animal cell dosn't.
3.A plant cell cannot change its shape, but the animal cell can.
4.plant cells have plastids whereas an animal cell usually dosn't have plastids.
5.plant cells have a large central vacuole whereas an animal cell has small vacuoles.
6.plant cells don't have centriolles whereas animal cells do.
7.Lysosomes are rare in plant cells but are present in animal cells.

Answer 2

Plant Cell :-

The outermost covering of the plant cell is the cell wall which is formed of cellulose.

Plastids (chloroplast) present.

Large vacuole present.

Centrioles are absent but polar caps are present.

Golgi apparatus is in the form of sub units called dictyosomes.

Animal Cell :-

The outermost covering is the plasma membrane.

Plastids absent.

No or small vacuoles are present.

Centrioles are present within centrosome.

Prominent and highly complex Golgi apparatus is present near nucleus.
