The cell wall is present in a plant cell but absent in an animal cell. Animal cells rely on a skeletal structure to contain and give form to the animal`s collection of cells. Contrariwise, a plant benefits from the built-in structure of each cell`s wall. The plant cell wall provides the rigidity to hold the plant upright and give it its form.Plant cells contain chloroplasts, while animal cells do not. Chloroplasts aid a plant in the production of food sugars through photosynthesis. Plants derive nutrients from the air and soil to synthesize sugars using solar energy. Thus, plants are called producers on the food chain. Animals instead rely upon the producers to manufacture food and plant material that the animals may then eat and acquire their energy.
