As you can see, above is a picture of a typical plant cell, if you look carefully, then you will probably find that the plant cell looks very alike to the animal cell. Yes, that is true, both animal and plant cell contain the structures above. The main difference between a plant and animal cell is that: First, a plant cell has a cell wall and the animal cell doesn't, that is because that animals needs skeleton to support their body, and also they move, but plant don't need move.Plants don't just sit there like a big spongy mess, they need the cell wall to hold their cell so all plants have a certain shape. |

The second major differences between a plant and a animal cell is that plant cell contains an organelle called cloroplast, the most common found pigment in cloroplast is called chlorophy ||, and plants need chlorophy for a chemical reaction called photosynthesis, how it works is that: plant uese sunlight+carbon dioxide+water+chlorophy || = Then what you get is Oxygen. Plants also use chroloplast to harvest energy from the sun, the chemical process is 6 CO2+6 H2O+ENERGY(from sunlight)= C6 H12 06+ 6O2 After this process, plants will produce something called glucose and other carbohydrates. |
