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.
Although, the overall function of the cell is the same, there are some important differences between animal and plant cells. The first difference is that plant cells have an organelle called chloroplast. Chloroplasts contain a pigment called chlorophyll (which gives the plant its green color).
Plant cells differ in structure from animal cells in that they have a cellulose wall that braces their plasma membranes. Animal cells lack this wall and therefore move with less difficulty than typical plant cells. Plant cells are eukaryotic, just as animal cells are, so both have a discrete nucleus.
