Eukaryotic cells can be either plant cells or animal cells. While plant and animal cells have many similarities, they also share a few key differences. Take a moment to examine the image above. A plant cell is shown on the left, and an animal cell is shown on the right. Before you learn about the differences between plant and animal cells, see how many differences you can determine by just observing the two images. Make a list of any differences you notice. Save your list to use later in this topic.
