Question

Make a comparison to write down ways in which plant cells are different from animal cells.

The cells of animals and plants have the following differences:

	Animal Cell	Plant Cell
1.	Animal cells are generally small in size.	Plant cells are larger than animal cells.
2.	Cell wall is absent.	The plasma membrane of plant cells is surrounded by a rigid cell wall of cellulose.
3.	Except the protozoan Euglena, no animal cell possesses plastids.	Plastids are present.
4.	Vacuoles in animal cells are many, small and temporary.	Most mature plant cells have a permanent and large central sap vacuole.
5.	Animal cells have a single highly complex and prominent Golgi apparatus.	Plant cells have many simpler units of Golgi apparatus, called dictyosomes.
6.	Animal cells have centrosome and centrioles.	Plant cells lack centrosome and centrioles.
