Cells can be divided into two types based on the structure of the organism.
- Plant cell: All the cells that form the plant body are called plant cells. Plant cells contain cell wall and plastids. It has fewer mitochondria and usually no centrioles. Their stored food is starch and fat. It lacks microvilli and pinocytic cavities. It contains small and large cells. It maintains cell junctions through plasmodesmata.
- Animal cell: All the cells that form the body of an animal are called animal cells. Animal cells do not have cell walls and plastids. It contains more mitochondria and centrioles are always present. Their stored food is glycogen and fat. It contains microvilli and pinocytic cavities. It does not contain glyoxysomes. It maintains cell junctions through desmosomes.
