Animal vs. Plant cells
Animal Cell
Has a cytoskeleton that’s located on the outside
Has no chloroplast
Does only cell respiration
Plant Cell
Has a cell wall that’s located on the outside
Has a chloroplast
Does photosynthesis & cell respiration both
Square due to rigid cell walls Can be any shape but corners are rounded
White/pink in color due to blood
Has many small vacuoles
Green due to chlorophyll
Has 1 large central vacuole
