Difference between rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER):
| Animal Cell | Plant cell |
| 1. Animal cells are generally small in size. | 1. Plant cells are comparatively larger than animal cells. |
| 2. Cell wall is absent. | 2. The rigid cell wall made of cellulose is present in plant cell which surrounds its plasma membrane . |
| 3. Plastids are not present in animal cell,Except protozoan Euglena, | 3. Plastids are present. |
| 4. Vacuoles in animal cells are many, small and temporary. | 4. Most mature plant cells have a permanent and large central sap vacuole. |
| 5. Animal cells have a single highly complex and prominent Golgi apparatus. | 5. Plant cells have many simpler units of Golgi apparatus, called dictyosomes. |
| 6. Centrosome and centrioles are present in animal cells. | 6. Centrosome and centrioles are absent in animal cells. |
