The most obvious structure that an animal cell has that plant cells do not are centrioles. Centrioles are structures that are important for DNA segregation when a cell undergoes mitosis. Centrioles are associated with the spindle - the filaments that help pull apart the chromosomes.

Additionally, though both plant and animal cells have vacuoles, and lysosomes, animal cells have many more of each. Plant cells often have one large vacuole while animal cells have many small ones. Lysosomes are an important organelle for digestion of waste materials and food. Animal cells tend to have more of these as well.

Animal cells can have Flagellum or Cillia, plant cells do not

animal cells do not have chloroplasts or a cell wall. plant cells do. also plant cells use photsynthesis to make their food, glucose. they also use cellular respiration to take their glucose in and their waste and excess water out.

Animal cells do not have a cell wall. Instead of a cell wall, the plasma membrane (usually called cell membrane when discussing animal cells) is the outer boundary of animal cells. Animal tissues therefore require either external or internal support from some kind of skeleton. Frameworks of rigid cellulose fibrils thicken and strengthen the cell walls of higher plants. Plasmodesmata that connect the protoplasts of higher plant cells do not have a counterpart in the animal cell model. During telophase of mitosis, a cell plate is formed as the plant cell begins its division. In animal cells, the cell pinches in the center to form two cells; no cell plate is laid down. Centrioles are generally not found in higher plant cells, while they are found in animal cells. Animal cells do not have plastids, which are common in plant cells (chloroplasts). Both cell types have vacuoles, however, in animal cells vacuoles are very tiny or absent, while in plant cells vacuoles are generally quite large.

Animal cells have centrioles, lysosomes, and cilia/flagella, which are structures not found in plant cells. Additionally, animal cells do not have cell walls like plant cells do.
