Plant cells have a cell wall and often chloroplasts. Prokaryotic cells lack membrane - bound organelles like mitochondria. Eukaryotic cells have mitochondria and DNA. Animal cells have a cell membrane and DNA but no cell wall or chloroplasts. Since the cell lacks a cell wall, it cannot be a plant cell.
