Answer:
Structurally, plant and animal cells are very similar because they are both eukaryotic cells. They both contain membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. Both also contain similar membranes, cytosol, and cytoskeletal elements.
The highest rank of biological taxonomy is called a domain. In other words, all living organisms can be grouped into three domains.
Archaea
Bacteria
Eukarya
Most of the similarities between plant and animal cells have to do with the many organelles they share. In addition to both having membrane-bound nuclei, organelles that exist in both plant and animal cells include:
Mitochondria
Endoplasmic reticulum
Ribosomes
Golgi apparatus
Cytoplasm
Differences Between Plant and Animal Cells
The differences between plant and animal cells cannot the naked eye. However, the impacts of these differences on the morphology (form and features) of plants and animals is noticeable. Without chloroplasts, a cell wall and a central vacuole, animals cells are able to do certain things that plant cells cannot, and vice versa.
As connected units, such as body tissue, animal cells are able to allow for more fluid movement than plant cells, which are stiffly attached to their neighbors by cell walls. As individual units, animal cells are also able to move freely about the organism when necessary, or switch roles to specialize in another task. Plant cells are less able to do this because of the plant cell walls keeping them in place.
What plant cells (and plants) lose in physical freedom from cell walls and central vacuoles, they gain in self-reliance and security. Cell walls, central vacuoles and chloroplasts all contribute to plant cells' autotrophism, which frees them from reliance on the need for organic matter for nutrition. Plants do not need to scavenge, hunt or or forage for food. While animals battle for resources and engage in sexual reproduction, plants stay rooted and grow toward the sun.
