Explanation:

Plant and animal cells have similarities like having a cell - membrane, nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus which are essential for basic cell functions such as energy production, protein synthesis, and waste removal. Differences include plant cells having a cell wall for structure and protection, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and a large central vacuole for storage and maintaining turgor pressure, while animal cells have centrioles involved in cell division and are generally more irregular in shape.

Answer:

Similarities (Both): Cell - membrane, nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus.
Plant Cell Only: Cell wall, chloroplasts, large central vacuole.
Animal Cell Only: Centrioles, more irregular shape.
