Answer (2)

Plant and animal cells have several differences and similarities. For example, animal cells do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts but plant cells do. Animal cells are round and irregular in shape while plant cells have fixed, rectangular shapes.

Plant cells and animal cells can be distinguished by the presence of a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole in plant cells, while animal cells have centrioles and lysosomes. Plant cells typically have a fixed rectangular shape, whereas animal cells have a more irregular shape. These structural differences contribute to their distinct functions in living organisms.
