A plant cell has a rigid cell wall made of cellulose, which provides structure and protection, whereas an animal cell only has a flexible plasma membrane. Additionally, plant cells contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis, allowing them to convert sunlight into energy, which animal cells lack. Plant cells also have a large central vacuole that stores water and maintains turgor pressure, while animal cells have smaller, more numerous vacuoles.
