- Synopsis
- This page shows two labelled cell diagrams. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left, when the image is the correct way up. There is an animal cell on the left and a plant cell on the right of the page. They have many similar features. One main difference is that the animal cell's outer surface is a thin flexible membrane and the plant cell has a rigid cell wall as well as a cell membrane. This is because the cell wall provides structure and support to the plant. An animal cell does not need this because the animal will have an internal or external skeleton for structure and support. The plant cell has chloroplasts for photosynthesis (using sunlight to create plant sugars) and the animal cell does not. Lastly plant cells have a vacuole filled with cell sap which is important for keeping the cell rigid.
