Animal Cells:
Animal cells are of various sizes and have irregular shapes. Most of the cells size range between 1 and 100 micrometers and are visible only with help of microscope. All animal cells are multicellular. They are eukaryotic cells.

Plant and animal cells have some differences and similarities. For example, animal cells do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts but plant cells do. Animal cells are round and irregular in shape while plant cells have fixed, rectangular shapes.

Plant Cells:
Various Roles Of Organelles:
Nucleus:
The role of the Nucleus directs all cell activity, the Nucleus acts as the brain of each cell. It helps control eating, movement and reproduction. If something happens in a cell, there is a big chance that the Nucleus knows about it.
Ribosomes:
Protein is very important for cells to function. Ribosomes are the protein builders of the cell. Ribosomes are found in places around the cell.
Endoplasmic Reticulum:
Known as ER. The ER functions as the packaging system of the cell. This organelle does not work alone, it works closely with the Golgi Apparatus and Ribosomes. The ER creates a network of membranes found through the whole cell.
Golgi Apparatus:
Like the ER, the Golgi Apparatus or also known as Golgi Complex is found in most cells. It is another packaging organelle. It gathers simple molecules and combines them to make molecules that are more complex. It stores proteins, sugars and enzymes for the cells.
