1. Animal Cell & Plant Cell Comparison
Goal: Make observations and describe the structure and functions of organelles found in plants and animal cells.

3. Cell Organelle Comparisons. Some of the following is only in plants
Cell Organelle Comparisons *Some of the following is only in plants. Some are only in animals. Most are in both animal and plant cells.
1. cell wall- support
2. cell membrane- door
3. vacuole- storage
4. nucleus- brain
5. mitochondria- energy
6. chromosomes- blueprints
7. cytoplasm- jellylike
8. chloroplast-food-maker
9. endoplasmic reticulum- transport
10. ribosomes- protein “ribs=meat=protein”
11. lysosome- break down “Lysol”
12. golgi bodies- package

4. Cell Wall
1. cell wall- supports the cell and gives it its rigid shape. ONLY in Plants.
This is
what makes the plant stand up

5. Cell Membrane Semi-permeable
2. cell membrane- DOOR--- This controls and regulates what enters and leaves the cell. This is BOTH plants and animal cells.
Not as clear as the
cell wall

6. Vacuole plant cell animal cell
3. vacuole- storage spaces for food & water.**Large in plant cell- stores more food ,smaller in animal cell.
plant cell
animal cell

7. Nucleus
4. nucleus- brain; controls the action of the cell like a computer.

8. Chromosomes
6. chromosomes- blueprints of the cell. It contains the information about the characteristics. Chromosomes are inside the nucleus of any cell.
Larger to smaller
nucleus-> chromosome -> DNA

9. Mitochondria squibbly
5. mitochondria- energy powerhouse of the cell, releases energy stored to carry out cell’s activities.
squibbly

10. Cytoplasm
7. cytoplasm- jellylike substance that holds organelles in place.

11. Chloroplasts
8. chloroplast- foodmaker of the cell; found only in plant cells.

12. ER
9. endoplasmic reticulum- transports things within the cell. 2 types- rough
and smooth.

13. Ribosomes
10. ribosomes- protein maker in the cell. Dots on the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Ribs

14. Reminds me of Lysol(break down germs)
11. lysosome- breaks down (garbage collector) materials in the cell.

15. Golgi Body
12. golgi body- packages—flat, stacked membranes---Golgi bodies sort protein and PACKAGE them
