Detailed explanation-1: -Plant cells have a cell wall and plastids that animal cells lack.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. Animal cells simply have a cell membrane, but no cell wall.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts are found in plant cells, but not in animal cells. The purpose of the chloroplast is to make sugars that feed the cell’s machinery. Photosynthesis is the process of a plant taking energy from the Sun and creating sugars.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plant cells have a cell wall. On the other hand, Animal cells lack a cell wall. However, Plants rely on their cell walls for stability. Plants use chloroplasts to perform photosynthesis, which allows them to produce food, and thus they have it, however, Animal cells lack chloroplasts.
