    Animal Cell                                          Plant Cell
Cell wall: Absent                                    Present
Shape:  Round (irregular shape)               Rectangular (fixed shape)
Vacuole: One or more small vacuoles        large Vacuole                  
Centrioles: Present in all animal cells     Only present in lower plant forms.
Chloroplast: Animal cells don't have
Chloroplasts                                                      Plant cells have chloroplasts
Cytoplasm:     Present                                     Present
