Plant and animal cell

Both the plant and the animal cells contain the membrane-bound organelles like the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, peroxisomes, lysosomes. They also have similar membranes such as cytosol, and the cytoskeletal elements. The function of all these organelles is said to be extremely similar lying between two classes of cells. However, few differences do exist between them which are very much significant, reflecting the difference in the function of each cell.
The plant cell can also be larger than the animal cell. The normal range of the animal cell varies from about 10 – 30 micrometers and that of plant cell range between 10 – 100 micrometers. Beyond the size, the main differences between the structures of plants and animal cells lie in some additional features that are found in the plant cells.
