When we look at plant cells and animal cells, there are some interesting differences that make them unique:

1. Cell Wall:

   • Plant cells have a tough outer wall made from a material called cellulose. This wall gives the cells shape and support.
   • Animal cells, however, only have a soft outer layer called a cell membrane.

2. Chloroplasts:

   • Only plant cells contain chloroplasts. These tiny parts are where plants turn sunlight into energy through a process called photosynthesis.
   • Animal cells don’t have chloroplasts, so animals need to get their energy from the food they eat instead.

3. Vacuoles:

   • Plant cells usually have one large central vacuole. This vacuole stores water and helps the cell stay firm.
   • Animal cells have smaller vacuoles that mainly help with storage and moving things around.

These special features help plants grow and survive in their surroundings, showing how different they are from animals!
