Plant and animal cells are both eukaryotic cells, meaning they have a defined nucleus and complex structures encased within membranes (organelles). However, plant and animal cells also have some key differences in terms of their size, shape, and the cell structures they contain. Here is a brief overview of some of the main differences between plant and animal cells:
– Size: Animal cells are generally smaller than plant cells. Animal cells range from 10 to 30 micrometers in length, while plant cells range from 10 and 100 micrometers in length.
– Shape: Animal cells come in various sizes and tend to have round or irregular shapes. Plant cells are more similar in size and are typically rectangular or cube shaped[^
