One of the many good things about spring is that without it, and without the absence imposed by fall and winter, we flawed mortals might fail to appreciate the beauties around us. So much of the wonder of spring is found in the return of what was absent.
The second main difference is in the structure of the cell itself. Animal cells are smaller than plant cells and have a membrane around them that is flexible and allows molecules, gases and nutrients to pass into the cell. Plant cells are larger and in addition to a membrane they have a rigid cell wall.
However, there are a few differences between plant and animal cells that set them apart. â¢ Both plant and animal cells have proper nuclei which has chromosomes to tell the cells exactly what they need to do. â¢ Both have mitochondria, cytoplasm and cell membrane. â¢ Animal cells do not have chloroplasts whereas plant cells have chloroplasts. â¢ An animal cell does not have a cell wall. A plant cell has a cell wall; it has cellulose wall to maintain fluid balance through osmosis. â¢ Plant cells contain one large vacuole enough to almost take up the entire cell space while animal cells contain smaller vacuoles inside the cells. â¢ An animal cell is either round or has an irregular shape.
