$2$. Shape: Plant cells generally have a fixed,regular shape due to the cell wall,while animal cells are generally irregular or flexible in shape.
$3$. Size: Plant cells are typically larger in size compared to animal cells.
$4$. Plastids: Plant cells contain plastids (like chloroplasts) for photosynthesis,which are absent in animal cells (except in some protists like $Euglena$).
