DO NOW- Homework out on
desk !!
1. What is the role of mitochondria
in the animal cell?
2. What is the name of the clear,
jelly-like fluid that the organelles
float in?
3. What is the control center or
brain of the animal cell called?
GOAL
To learn the structure of cells and
functions of organelles within a
plant cell
To distinguish between plant and
animal cells

Plant Cell Parts
Cell Wall
1. Stiff for protection and
support
2. Acts as a doorway
Plant Cell Parts
Cell
Membrane
1. Below cell wall
2. More protection/support

 Chloroplasts
1. Green colored
2. Captures sunlight for
photosynthesis (makes
glucose)
