Plant cells have chlorophyll, the light-absorbing pigment required for photosynthesis. This pigment is contained in structures called chloroplasts, which makes plants appear green.
Plants cells have a large, central vacuole. While animal cells may have one or more small vacuoles, they do not take up the volume that the central vacuole does (up to 90% of the entire cell volume!). The vacuole stores water and ions, and may be used for storage of toxins.
Most of the space inside plant cells is made of of a large vacuole containing cell sap. Vacuoles in some types of plant cells serve to build stalks and stems. Animal cells never contain large vacuoles.
Plant cells contain plastids. Animal cells do not. The most noteworthy plastids are chloroplasts. These contain chlorophyll, a green chemical necessary for photosynthesis, which also gives plants their colour.
Animal cells have centrioles, which help in mitosis. Plant cells do not.
Plant cells have glyoxysomes. Animal cells do not. Source(s):
