The more-or-less brick-like appearance of the plant tissue and the presence of a cell wall are good ways of telling the difference; animal cells separate from each other fairly easily. Air bubbles will have a VERY thick border and are round.How can you tell between a plant and animal cell under a light microscope?
animal cells will have no cell wall. They will have a thin membrane. Some plant cells have an outer layer in addition to the cell wall. It depends a lot on what part of the plant you are observing. You will find chlorophyll in the green plants that is also a difference. You could look for centrioles. THey are only present in animal cells.
