Plant cells are eukaryotic, and yet they differ slightly from animal cells. The plant cell has a more rigid cell wall than that of animals. It has many similar organelles to animal cells, organelles are micro organs is a cell that carry out its functions. However, the main difference in plant cells is the chloroplast, while normally animal cells have a mitochondria used for respiration and the creation of energy. The chloroplast is an organelle that contains many stacks called granules that store from sunlight (chlorophyll II), a compound that is used in photosynthesis to create energy.
