Plant v. Animal Cell

Differences: Plants have a cell wall while Animal cells don't. An animal cell is a very irregular shape while all plant cells are a fixed rectangle. Animal cells may have one or more small vacuole while plant cells have one large vacuole that takes up 90% of the cell. Animal cells have no chloroplasts while plant cells need them to survive. Animal cells have many lysosomes while plant cells usually don't.

Overall I would prefer to be a plant cell seeing as it makes its own food so the energy doesn't have to go through another 90% energy loss to get to the next level in the food chain.
