A Plant cell have two unique organellesthat separates a animal cell to a plant cell and a common one that changes when a plant cell develops from a young cell to a older cell.
- Cell wall - protects and support the structure of the cell and filter and mange how substance go in and out the cell.
- Plastids - containers that often contain pigments. (There are three types of plastids)
- Chloroplasts - contains the green pigment substances, chlorophyll which traps light energy from the sun and use it for photosynthesis.
- Chromoplast - contains coloured pigments which is responsible for fruits and flowers colours. (yellow pigment = Xanthophyll and orange pigment = Carotene)
- Leucoplast - contains colorless pigments where starch is stored
- A large central Vacuole (only in older plant cells)- Stores food, water, minerals

How can you tell if its a animal cell or plant cell?
You can tell if it's an animal cell by the presence of centrioles and lysosomes, which are not typically found in plant cells. Plant cells, on the other hand, contain chloroplasts and a large central vacuole, which are absent in animal cells. Additionally, plant cells typically have a cell wall, whereas animal cells do not.
What are the difference of animal cell and plant cell?
Plant cells have cell walls, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and larger central vacuoles compared to animal cells. Animal cells do not have cell walls, chloroplasts, or central vacuoles, but they may have smaller vacuoles and centrioles which are absent in plant cells.
Is the muscle cell a plant or animal cell?
The muscle cell is an animal cell. It is a specialized cell found in animals that is responsible for generating force through its contraction, allowing for movement and various physiological functions in the body.
What cell structure of the plant is lacking you the animal cell?
Plant cells have chloroplasts, a structure responsible for photosynthesis, which animal cells lack.
Is the nuclear envelope found in a plant cell or animal cell?
The nuclear envelope is found in both plant and animal cells. It surrounds the nucleus and helps regulate the movement of materials in and out of the nucleus.
