Give two differences between a plant cell and an animal cell.

What it is

Plant cells have a cell wall, a big vacuole and chloroplasts; animal cells have none of these.

Answer

A plant cell has a rigid cell wall outside its cell membrane and usually contains a large central vacuole and green chloroplasts for photosynthesis. An animal cell has no cell wall (only a cell membrane), has small or no vacuoles and lacks chloroplasts. This is why plants can make their own food while animals cannot.

  • •Plant cell: cell wall, large vacuole, chloroplasts
  • •Animal cell: no cell wall, small/no vacuole, no chloroplasts
  • •Chloroplasts let plants photosynthesise

Why learn this

It's why plants stand upright and make their own food, while animals must eat.

💡 Memory trick

Plants carry a 'WCV' kit: Wall, Chloroplast, big Vacuole.
