Answer: Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. In plants, the cell wall surrounds the cell membrane. This gives the plant cell its unique rectangular shape. Animal cells simply have a cell membrane, but no cell wall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plant cells:

1. Have a cellulose cell wall outside the cell

membrane.

2. Have a cell membrane.

3. Have cytoplasm.

4. Have a nucleus.

5. Often have chloroplasts containing

chlorophyll.

6. Have prominent one or more vacuoles.

7. Often regular in shape.

Animal cells:

1. Have no cell wall.

2. Have no chloroplasts.

3. Have only small vacuoles.

4. Often irregular in shape.

5. Do not contain plastids.

6. Have complex and prominent Golgi

apparatus.

7. Cytoplasm fills almost the entire cell.
