11. Animal vs. Plant cells Animal CellPlant Cell Has a cytoskeleton that’s located on the outside Has a cell wall that’s located on the outside Has no chloroplastHas a chloroplast Does only cell respirationDoes photosynthesis & cell respiration both Can be any shape but corners are rounded Square due to rigid cell walls White/pink in color due to bloodGreen due to chlorophyll Has many small vacuolesHas 1 large central vacuole
