1.4 compare the structures of plant and animal cells

Difference	Plant cells	Animal cells
Appearance	Plant cells are usually more rigidly shaped.	Animal cells have a more irregular shape due to a lack of cell wall to keep its shape.
Organelles	A standard plant cell contains: -       Nucleus -       Cell membrane -       Cell wall -       Chloroplasts -       Cytoplasm -       Large permanent vacuole -       Mitochondria	A standard animal cell contains: -       Nucleus -       Cell membrane -       Cytoplasm -       Small temporary vacuole -       Mitochondria (a typical animal cell would have 1000 to 2000 mitochondria) – animal cells need a lot of energy
Size	Plant cells are relatively larger than animal cells 40 times larger than a standard animal cell à 0.4 mm	Animal cells are relatively smaller than plant cells. About 1/100 or 0.01 mm
Position of nucleus	The vacuole occupies central position. The nucleus in plant cells generally occupy peripheral position.	Nucleus usually occupies central position.
