Plants have a singular vacuole that is used for storage and controlling the shape of the cell. Animals have multiple tiny vacuoles. Plants have a cell wall as well as membrane. Animals have a membrane but no wall.
The chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the sun in energy rich molecules. Cell walls allow plants to have rigid structures varied as wood trunks and supple leaves. And vacuoles allow plants to change size.
They both share common components of a nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria and a cell membrane.
