Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Structurally, plant and animal cells are very similar because they are both eukaryotic cells. ... Beyond size, the main structural differences between plant and animal cells lie in a few additional structures found in plant cells. These structures include: chloroplasts, the cell wall, and vacuoles.

Plant cells have a cell wall in addition to their cell membranes while animal cells only have a surrounding membrane. ... Both plant and animal cells have vacuoles but they are much larger in plants, and there is generally only 1 vacuole in plant cells while animal cells will have several, smaller ones.
