Animal vs Plant cell

Everything living is made of cells

Large Vacuole - In plant cells, the vacuoles are much larger than in animal cells. When a plant cell has stopped growing, there is usually one very large vacuole. Sometimes that vacuole can take up more than half of the cell's volume. The vacuole holds large amounts of water or food. 

Cell Wall - The plant cell wall is composed of cellulose. Cellulose is a structural carbohydrate and is considered a complex sugar because it is used in both protection and structure. The plant cell wall consists of three layers. Each layer has its own unique structure and function.

Plant Cell Membrane - It consists of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins. The basic function of the cell membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings. The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of cells and organelles. In this way, it is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules. 

Animal Cell Membrane - It consists of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins. The basic function of the cell membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings. The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of cells and organelles. In this way, it is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules.

Chloroplast - chloroplast is a type of organelle known as a plastid, characterized by its two membranes and a high concentration of chlorophyll. Other plastid types, such as the leucoplast and the chromoplast, contain little chlorophyll and do not carry out photosynthesis.

Cytoplasm in plant cell - The jellylike material that makes up much of a cell inside the cell membrane and in eukaryotic cells surrounds the nucleus.

Cytoplasm in animal cell - The jelly-like fluid that fills a cell is called cytoplasm. It is made up of mostly water and salt. Cytoplasm is present within the cell membrane of all cell types and contains all organelles and cell parts. 

Nucleus in plant cell - It stores the cell's hereditary material or DNA, and it coordinates the cell's activities, which include intermediary metabolism, growth, protein synthesis, and reproduction.

Nucleus in Animal cell - The nucleus controls many of the functions of the cell by controlling protein synthesis and contains DNA in chromosomes. The nucleus is surrounded by the nuclear membrane.
