The cells all have different qualities.

A plant cell will have a cell wall (the others don't have these) and so it will be kept in a rigid shape, unlike the others which are free to be blobby. Inside a plant cell, there is also a vacuole containing cell sap. The others don't have this. Plant cells also have chloroplasts, which look similar to mitochondria on a diagram. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, and this is used for photosynthesis.
