I need to know what the major differences are between plant and animal cells and lots of detail on it. Thanks!

Plant Cells have:
(1) Cell wall- Gives the cells a rigid shape so a plant can stand up
(2) Chloroplasts- converts energy of sunlight to chemical energy
(3) Central vacuole (CV): functions as storage, breakdown of waste
(4) Tonoplast: a membrane that encloses the CV
(5) Plasmodesmata: are channes through cell walls that connect the cytoplasms of adjacent cells
Animal Cells have:
(1) Lyosomes: digestive organelle
(2)Centrioles: unkown function
*(3)Flagella: locomotion organelle present in some animal cells
*in some plant sperm

Differences are easier to explain if seperated into 2 catagories...
Plants generally have but animals dont...
Large cell vacuole, Cell wall, Chloroplasts
Both generally have...
Plasma membrane, Nucleus, Mitochondria, Golgi Apps., Endoplasmic reticulum, Centrioles, Cytoplasm

the difference is that plant cell has cell membrane and animal cell does not have cell membrane.
