Here is a picture of a plant cell and an animal cell.

all living things are made of cells

Humans are a collection of many billions of cells, all working together.

Plant cells if plants and animals are different shapes, they must be made of different shaped cells. Let’s have a look at the shape of a basic plant cell.

Apart from the shape, the cell

looks very similar to an animal cell.

However, here is how the plant cell differs from the

animal cell. Cytoplasm

Cell Membrane

NucleusCell Wall

Vacuole (contains cell

sap)

Chloroplast (contains

chlorophyll)
