PLANT CELL Plant cell is larger is size when compared to animal cell. Plant cell is usually covered by the cell wall with cell membrane. plant cell consist of the various cell organelles such as a mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum. Lysosomes are rarely present and the nucleus present in the periphery and small. Plant cell also contain plasmodesmata useful for the transportation of water. Centrioles are absent in plant cells. Plant cells also contain plastids commonly known as chloroplast which responsible for the production of chlorophyll. Plants cell are having large vacuoles in the centre. In plant cells reserve food material is starch. ANIMAL CELL Animal cell is smaller in size when compared to plant cell. animal cell is usually covered by plasma membrane. animal cell also consist of the various cell organelles such as mitochondria ,ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum. Lysosomes are present and the nucleus present in the centre .plant cell also contain centrioles during cell division. plastids are absent. vacuoles are present and small in size. Reserve food material is glycogen.
