Plants and Animal cells

 Plants and animals are different, but the cells are very similar, with some subtle differences.

Plant and animal cells have a cell membrane, which is the protective wall around the cell, along with the Cytosol, which holds all of the small organelles. Such as the Nucleus and Mitochondria, which are in the fluid part of the cytoplasm.

There is also a big difference.
The plant cell has a 'cell wall' which is much bigger than the cell membrane and is what makes the plant rigid instead of floppy.

They also have these small green things, named Chloroplasts, which also come with the benefit that, making these plants green, they will convert sunlight into their own food and sugars for the mitochondria to break down for the plant. Mitochondria provide energy for the cell to move things in and out of the cell membrane, as it isn't a static wall and lets things go in and out while expending energy.
