Detailed explanation-1: -Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. In plants, the cell wall surrounds the cell membrane. This gives the plant cell its unique rectangular shape.

Detailed explanation-2: -While animal cells come in various sizes and tend to have irregular shapes, plant cells are more similar in size and are typically rectangular or cube shaped. A plant cell also contains structures not found in an animal cell. Some of these include a cell wall, a large vacuole, and plastids.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant cells are not necessarily square, but they due tend to have distinct edges and be somewhat rectangular. This structure is caused by the cell wall which is very rigid and therefore forces the cell to have a defined shape.

Detailed explanation-4: -The main difference between animal cells and plant cells is that plant cells have cell walls, while animal cells lack cell walls. The cell wall made of cellulose gives plant cells rigidity, thus forming a fixed rectangular shape.

Detailed explanation-5: -Both types of cells store food in vacuoles, have cytoplasm, golgi bodies, and ribosomes, but they have a number of distinct differences as well. Animal cells have a membrane and are more irregularly shaped, while plant cells have a cell wall and are rectangular.
