Plant vs. Animal Cell Characteristics Most of the organelles found in animal cells are also found in plant cells ( eg. mitochondria, ribosomes, nucleus, etc.), but there are some differences. Animal Cells Only Plant Cells Only 1. centrioles 1. Cell wall 2. - in addition to the cell membrane, a lysosomes thick outer cell wall gives strength and support to cells. eg. it allows a blade of grass to stand tall. 2. Plastids - double membrane sacs that may be: (a) chloroplasts - contain green coloring matter, chlorophyl, that traps solar energy in photosynthesis to make food. (b) chromoplasts - contains various pigments also useful to photosynthesis ( responsible for vibrant colors of flower petals) (c) leucoplasts - has no color and functions to store starch organelles found in both, but have slight differences: small vacuoles large vacuoles shapes tend to be geometrical eg. rectangular (onion skin) variety of shapes
