Cells
• Cells are the basic units of function in all
living things.
• Cells in animals and plants have unique
forms that allow each to take part in
processes that are necessary for the cell and
or/living thing to survive.
Let’s take a closer look at the
similarities and differences between
animal and plant cells.
Explain if this is a plant or animal cell.
Write down any characteristics to
support your decision.

Plant Cell
Animal cell
Now that you have seen pictures of the
cells, exactly what are the organelles.
• What is an organelle?
• Organelles are to cells what organs are to
the body.
• They carry out the individual tasks of
gaining and working with energy, as well
as directing the overall behavior of the
cells.
• Let’s familiarize yourself with the
organelles of the animal and plant cell.
Organelles : Function :
Nucleus: Contains the DNA and RNA
and manufactures proteins
Nucleolus: In nuclei where ribosomes are
synthesized.
Nuclear Envelope: Membrane of lipids and
proteins that surrounds nucleus
Centrioles: structure that appears during
mitosis(cell division)
Mitochondria: Energy producers of the cell
Ribosomes: Produce proteins
More Organelles
Organelles Function
Golgi Bodies: Packages Proteins
Chloroplasts: Involved in photosynthesis
Vacuoles: Store waste, nutrients, and
water
Lysosome: Contains digestive
enzymes, mostly in animal
cells
Endoplasmic Reticulum: Passageway that
transports proteins from
the nucleus
Rough ER covered in ribosomes,
Smooth ER is not!
While not exactly organelles, the
following are important parts of
the cells:
• Cell membrane: Semi-permeable lining
that surrounds the cell
• Cell Wall: Is a stiff non-living
wall that surrounds the
cell membrane made of
cellulose
• Cytoplasm: Jelly-like material
surrounding the
organelles
There are a few important
processes in which the plant and
animal cell engages:
• Diffusion: How food, air, and
water gets in and out
of the cell.
• Cellular Respiration: How an animal cell
gets energy.
• Photosynthesis: How a plant cell gets
energy.
Animal and Plant cells have many
similarities. Can you write the
organelles and cell parts they both
have in common.
Similarities
• Both contain:
• Nucleus, Nuclear Envelope, Chromosomes-
which carry the genes or the DNA.
• Cytoplasm
• Mitochondria
• Cell membranes
• Any others?
Animal and plant cells are also
different. Can you explain four
reasons as to how plant cells are
different from animal cells?
Differences
• Plant cells have non-living rigid cell walls.
• Plant cells contain chloroplasts which
contain chlorophyll, a green chemical
needed for photosynthesis.
• Plant cells contain a large vacuole; animal
cells never contain large vacuoles.
• Plant cells are regular in shape; animal cells
are irregular in shape.
