Answer 1

plant cell
- a plant cell is usually larger in size
-it is enclosed by a rigid cell wall
-it contains a large central vacuole
- plastids are present 
-nucleus lies on one side in the peripheral cytoplasm 
- centrioles are usually absent
- lysosomes are rare. their activity is performed by specialized vacuoles 
- reserve food is generally in the form of starch or fat
- crystals of inorganic substances may occur inside the cell

animal cell
- animal cell is comparatively smaller in size
- the plasma membrane is surrounded by a complex extra cellular matrix
- an animal cell often possesses many small vacuoles 
- plastids are absent
- nucleus usually lies in the centre 
- centrioles are present
- lysosomes are always present
- reserve food is usally glycogen and fat
- crystals are usally absent
