Conclusion
Both plant and animal cells comprise membrane-bound organelles, such as endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, the nucleus, Golgi apparatus, peroxisomes, lysosomes. They also have similar membranes, such as cytoskeletal elements and cytosol. The plant cell can also be larger than the animal cell. The normal range of the animal cell varies from about 10 – 30 micrometres and that of plant cell range between 10 – 100 micrometres.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which cell organelles are present only in plant cell and absent in animals cell?
Plant cells have a cell wall and plastids that animal cells lack.
How do plant cells and animal cells differ with respect to their shape?
A plant cell has a square or rectangular shape while the animal cells have an irregular or round shape.
Why are plant cells generally larger in size compared to the animal cells?
Plant cells comprise a large central vacuole that occupies a majority of the volume and makes the cell larger. This vacuole is usually absent in the animal cell.
What is the function of vacuoles in a plant cell?
The vacuole stores waste material in a plant cell. It also maintains proper pressure in a plant cell that helps in providing proper support and structure to the growing plants.
Name some cell organelles present exclusively in animal cells.
Animal cells comprise lysosomes and centrosomes that are completely absent in a plant cell.
Name the cell organelle responsible for providing structural support for plant cells apart from the cell wall.
The central vacuole provides structural support to the plant cell.
Name the cell organelle responsible for carrying out photosynthesis in plant cells.
Chloroplasts are responsible for carrying out photosynthesis in a plant cell.
