Answer:

The main differences between is plant and animal cells is that the Plant cells are more rigid due to the cell wall.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cell wall prevents the cell from bursting during osmosis. It is made up of polysaccharides like cellulose, hemicelluloses, and pectin. Plant cells contain large central vacuole and it is filled with storage material and wastes.

The three main functions of plant cell vacuole are to provide rigidity and strength to the plant by developing hydrostatic pressure in the cell. Both plant and animal cells have endoplasmic reticulum which is divided into the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and rough endoplasmic reticulum in both types of cells.
