  1. CELLS The Similarities and Differences of Animal and Plant Cells Created by C. Rhein Hazelwood Central Teacher’s Page Forward

  2. 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.

  3. Explain if this is a plant or animal cell. Write down any characteristics to support your decision.

  4. Explain if this a plant or animal cell. Write down any characteristics to support your decision.

  5. Plant Cell

  6. Animal cell

  7. 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.

  8. 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

  9. OrganellesFunction 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!

  10. 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

  11. 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.

  12. Animal and Plant cells have many similarities. Can you write the organelles and cell parts they both have in common.

  13. Similarities • Both contain: • Nucleus, Nuclear Envelope, Chromosomes- which carry the genes or the DNA. • Cytoplasm • Mitochondria • Cell membranes • Any others?

  14. Animal and plant cells are also different. Can you explain four reasons as to how plant cells are different from animal cells?

  15. 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.
