PLANT CELLS
Plant cells are quite different from the cells of the other eukaryotic kingdom's organisms. Their distinctive features are:
A large central vacuole (enclosed by a membrane, the tonoplast), which maintains the cell's turgor and controls movement of molecules between the cytosol and sap.
A cell wall made up of cellulose and protein, and in many cases lignin, and deposited by the protoplast on the outside of the cell membrane. This contrasts with the cell walls of fungi, which are made of chitin, and prokaryotes, which are made of peptidoglycan.
The plasmodesmata, linking pores in the cell wall that allow each plant cell to communicate with other adjacent cells. This is different from the network of hyphae used by fungi.
Plastids, especially chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll, the pigment that gives plants their green color and allows them to perform photosynthesis.
Plants lack centrioles that are present in animal cells.
Like other eukaryotic cells, plant cells typically also have a nucleus, containing most of the cell's DNA, and mitochondria, the 'power plants' of the cell. However, some parts of a living plant's tissue are selectively dead so they can serve the plant without consuming vital nutrients.
Tissue types
These three major classes of cells can then differentiate to form the tissue structures of roots, stems, and leaves. All plants have these types of tissues and they have similar locations within all species of plants. However, the amount of these tissues will vary for different plant species.
The three distinct types of plant cells are classified according to the structure of their cell walls and features of their protoplast. Plants will have a primary cell wall and sometimes a secondary wall as well. These two major parts are what determines the function of each individual plant cell.
Dermal tissue - the outer most covering of a plant.
Vascular tissue - Responsible for transport of materials throughout the plant
Ground tissue - Performs photosynthesis, starch storage and structural support. Ground tissues may be composed of one of three cell types
Parenchyma - Thin primary walls, may not have a secondary wall. Can develop into more specialized plant tissues.
Collenchyma - Unevenly thickened primary walls, grouped together to support growing parts of the plant.
Sclerenchyma - Thick secondary walls, used to support non-growing parts of the plant.
ANIMAL CELLS
An animal cell is a form of eukaryotic cell which make up many tissues in animals. The animal cell is distinct from other eukaryotes, most notably plant cells, as they lack cell walls and chloroplasts, and they have smaller vacuoles. Due to the lack of a rigid cell wall, animal cells appear to be circular (though are often deformed by surrounding cells) under microscopes - in three dimensions the cells are normally spherical.Human cells are biologically categorized as animal cells.
The most significant organelles of an animal cell include:
Cell membrane
Cytoplasm
Golgi apparatus
Mitochondria
Endoplasmic reticulum (including ribosomes)
Lysosome
Peroxisome
Vacuole
Microtubule
Microfilament
Vesicle

Plant cell vs Animal Chart cell shows the main key differences and similarities between animal cells and plant cells. Some of the differences lies in the organelles that make them up and the activities each type of cell carries out. Some of the main differences and similarities are highlighted in the Plant Cell vs Animal Cell Chart below. http://www.science-major.com/biology-review-lessons/cell-biology/plant-cell-vs-animal-cell/

plant cell: cellulose cell wall, stronger
animal cell: cytoplasmic wall & cell membrane, flexable (the cytoplasmic wall is composed of a lipid bilayer & protein inbetween).
plant: has chloroplasts (chlorophil..etc...),which makes a plant cell autophototrophic.
animal:no, except for euglina (an animal cell with a chlorophil in a shape of a star)
plant: no cytoptoplasmic reticulum, no golgi bodies.....

plant cell hasa cell wall, central vacuole and chloroplasts, animal cell has just the plasma membrane, so duz the plant cell, but its got that wall, and multiple vacuoles, unlike the plants, and no chloroplats, hope that helps

1. animal cell is bordered with cell membrain. while for plant it is cell wall.
2.animal cell contains centrosome. whichis absent in plant
3.animal cell generally does not contain cloroplast . but it generally must for plant cell.
