Structurally, plant and animal cells are very similar because they are both eukaryotic cells, however the few differences that exist between plant and animals are very significant -
Plant cells can be larger than animal cells. The typical range for an animal cell varies from 10 to 30 micrometers while that for a plant cell stretches from 10 to 100 micrometers. Apart from size, the main structural differences between plant and animal cells lie in a few additional structures found in plant cells. These structures include: chloroplasts, the cell wall, and vacuoles.
