There is a wide variety of differences between these two cells. I'm here to explain that too you. Let’s begin.

Plant and animal cells are alike and different in many ways. They are alike because they both have cytoplasm, cell membranes, & ribosomes. Let’s get to the differences.

Let’s start with plant cells. These cells are eukaryotic, or called a eukaryote(you•care•E•oats) have different cell stuctures (seen above) than animal cells, (which are also eukaryotes). Plant cells have cell walls to protect the insides of the cell. A eukaryote will always have a cell membrane made of plasma. A cell membrane holds a diversity of molecules, mostly proteins & lipids. It also acts as a connector,for which two pieces of the cytoskeleton can attach together, and it can attach two pieces of the cell wall.
