The typical plant cells are eukaryotic (have nucleus), autotroph (produce their own food) and photosynthetic (use light to make food). Plant cells also have chloroplasts and a cell wall (a structure exterior to the plasma membrane) made of cellulose.

How different are animal cells from plant cells?

While plant cells are eukaryotic, autotroph, photosynthetic and have chloroplasts and cell wall, the animal cells are eukaryotic, heterotroph and do not present chloroplasts neither cell wall.

Do plants have tissue organization and specialized organs?

Plants have specialized organs (like reproductive organs, roots, limbs, leaves) and differentiated tissues (vascular tissue in tracheophytes, support tissue, parenchyma, etc.)
