GOAL
To learn the structure of cells and
functions of organelles within a
plant cell
To distinguish between plant and
animal cells
Plant Cell ONLY
Cell Wall
1. Stiff for protection and
support
2. Acts as a doorway
Animal and Plant Cells
Cell
Membrane
1. Below cell wall
2. More protection/support
Animal and Plant Cells
Nucleus
1. Control center/ brain
2. Contains DNA
(chromosomes- info. For
life)
Animal and Plant Cells
Cytoplasm
1. Clear, thick, jelly-like
fluid around organelles
Animal and Plant Cells
Mitochondria
1. Cell powerhouse- makes
energy
Plant Cells ONLY
Vacuole
1. Storage tank- stores
food, waste, water
2. One large one in plant
cells
Plant Cells ONLY
Chloroplasts
1. Green colored
2. Captures sunlight for
photosynthesis (makes
glucose)
Animal and Plant Cells
Endoplasmic
Reticulum
1. Transportation tubes
2. Can be “rough”- part of
ER with ribosomes or
“smooth” part of ER with
no ribosomes
Animal and Plant Cells
Golgi Body
1. Packages and distributes
proteins
Animal and Plant Cells
Ribosomes
1. Protein factories on E.R.
walls & in cytoplasm
What are 3 differences between plant
and animal cells?

Plant vs. Animal Cells
PLANT CELLS
1. Cell wall
2. One large
vacuole
3. Chloroplasts
4. No lysosomes
5. Rectangular
6. Photosynthesis
ANIMAL CELLS
1. No cell wall
2. A few small
vacuoles
3. No chloroplasts
4. Lysosomes
5. Roundish
6. Respiration
