Plant Cell	Animal Cell
The plant celll possesses a rigid cell wall generally made up of cellulose	The cell wall is absent in animal cell
Usually Larger in size	Comparitively Smaller in size
Mitochondria are comparitively fewer	Mitochondria are generally more
Plastids are found in Plant cells	Plastids are usually absent
The photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll is present	Chlorophyll is absent
A mature plant cell contains a central vacuole	An animal cell often possesses many small vacuoles
Cytokinesis (division of cytoplasm) occurs by cell plate method	Cytokinesis occurs by constriction
Glyoxysomes may be present	Glyoxysomes are absent
Cytoskeleton does not contain intermediate fibres	Cytoskeleton contain intermediate fibres
Spindel formed during nuclear division is anastral	Spindel formed during nuclear division is amphiastral
Reserve food is generalyy starch and fat	Reserve food is usually glycogen and fat
