Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic cells and so both have a nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes and cytoplasm. In addition, plant cells have a vacuole, chloroplasts and a cell wall.

I would like to add to Tara Stirland's answer: both plant and animal cells have a cell surface membrane as well.
