Animal and plant cells have many similarities, but there are some key differences in their structures. Here are some structures that are present in an animal cell but not in a plant cell:

• Centrosomes and centrioles: These structures are involved in cell division and are found in animal cells, but not in plant cells/04%3A_Cell_Structure_of_Bacteria_Archaea_and_Eukaryotes/4.07%3A_Internal_Structures_of_Eukaryotic_Cells/4.7C%3A_Comparing_Plant_and_Animal_Cells).

• Lysosomes: These organelles contain digestive enzymes for the breakdown of organic components of the cell and are found only in animal cells/04%3A_Cell_Structure_of_Bacteria_Archaea_and_Eukaryotes/4.07%3A_Internal_Structures_of_Eukaryotic_Cells/4.7C%3A_Comparing_Plant_and_Animal_Cells).

On the other hand, here are some structures that are present in a plant cell but not in an animal cell:

• Cell wall: This is a rigid covering that protects the cell, provides structural support, and gives shape to the cell. It is found only in plant cells/04%3A_Cell_Structure_of_Bacteria_Archaea_and_Eukaryotes/4.07%3A_Internal_Structures_of_Eukaryotic_Cells/4.7C%3A_Comparing_Plant_and_Animal_Cells).

• Chloroplasts: These organelles are involved in photosynthesis and are found only in plant cells/04%3A_Cell_Structure_of_Bacteria_Archaea_and_Eukaryotes/4.07%3A_Internal_Structures_of_Eukaryotic_Cells/4.7C%3A_Comparing_Plant_and_Animal_Cells).

• Plasmodesmata: These are junctions between plant cells that allow for communication and transport of materials between cells. They are not found in animal cells.

• Large central vacuole: This is a large organelle that stores water, nutrients, and waste products. It is found only in plant cells/04%3A_Cell_Structure_of_Bacteria_Archaea_and_Eukaryotes/4.07%3A_Internal_Structures_of_Eukaryotic_Cells/4.7C%3A_Comparing_Plant_and_Animal_Cells).

It is important to note that while these structures are not present in both animal and plant cells, there are many structures that are common to both, such as the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, ribosomes, mitochondria, and peroxisomes/04%3A_Cell_Structure_of_Bacteria_Archaea_and_Eukaryotes/4.07%3A_Internal_Structur...
