Plant and animal cells have different structures. One structural difference of plant cells and animal cells is the presence of the plant cell’s cell wall, specialized plastids and a large central vacuole which are not found within animal cells.

Another difference is the garbage disposal of each cell. Centrosomes and lysosomes are found in animal cells but both do not exist within plant cells. The animal cell’s garbage disposal takes place in the lysosome while garbage disposal of plant cells takes place in the vacuole.
