2.3.5 State three differences between plant and animal cells.


There are several difference between plant and animal cells, here are three. 
  1. It is unusual for animal cells to contain vacuoles, when they are present they are either small or temporary. Plants always have a large vacuole. 
  2. There are no chloroplast in animal cells, but plants need chloroplast for photosynthesis. 
  3. Plant cells are rounded and do not change shape because they have cell walls, animal cells can change their shape due to the lack of cell walls.
