i'm still lost.
how do i distinguish it?

There are several key differences.
A plant cell has a cell wall that gives the plant its' upward, firm structure. It also contains one huge vacuole (storage center) in the middle of the cell. Also, some (but not all) plant cells contain chlorophyl.
An animal cell has no cell wall (only a cell membrane) and many vacuoles. Those are the basic differences. Hope it helps!

The easiest way to identify it is a plant cell has a cell wall and and an animal cell doesnt also a plant cell usually has a greenish tint caused by photosynthesis.

Look to see if the cell has a cell wall and a large central vacuole. That makes it a plant cell. Plant cells also have chloroplasts or other plastids.
If the cell has centrioles, it's an animal cell.

The easiest way to distinguish plant cells is that they have very structured cell walls and therefore a very structured shape. Animal cells do not and can be any shape

Plant cells have three things animal cells do not:
1.Chloroplasts
2.Cell wall
3.Central vacuole
Hope this helps.

Plant cells have a cell wall and animal cells have a cell membrane.
Plant cells have chlorophyll. Animal cells do not.

an animal cell has something called a hypharic metholiom which a plant cell doesn't have. this cell is made up from two major components that i completely forget...

Just ask a question. Also, you end that first statement with a period and a question mark. You only need one. In that case a period.

plant cells have vacuols and usually chloroplast. animal cells dont. =]

plant cell- cell wall, chlorophill, photosynthesis, autotrophe
Animal cell- cell membrane, heterotrophe
