Plants vs. Animal Cells

Do Now

• What do you think is the most important
  organelle? Why, please explain your answer using
  science!

3
All Cells

• All cells have three basic components Cell
  Membrane, Nucleus, Cytoplasm.
• Animal Cells have similarities to plant cells,
  but are different in a few ways.
• Lets look

Plant vs. Animal
5
Plant Cells

• Plant cells are different from animal cells.
• Plant cells contain many of the same organelles
  you would find in an animal cell with the
  exception of a few key players
• (1)Cell Walls and (2)Chloroplasts are found in
  plant cells and not animal cells.

6
Cell Wall

• Cell Walls are only found in plant cells.
• Cell walls a rigid structures made of cellulose
  (basically wood).
• Cell Walls perform the following
• Protect the Cells
• Give the Cells a Strong Shape
• They provide support for the Cells

Cell Walls
8
Chloroplast

• Chloroplast is essentially what makes a plant
  cell a plant cell.
• Chloroplasts are filled with chlorophyll.
• Chlorophyll creates food from solar energy for
  the plants, it also give plants their usual green
  color.

Chloroplasts
10
Vacuoles

• I know, animal cells have vacuoles, but theyre
  different between the two different cells.

11
Plant Vacuoles

• Plant Cells have one or two LARGE vacuoles. These
  vacuoles many hold water for the cells.

12
Animal Vacuoles

• Animal cell vacuoles are numerous, small, and
  contain water, food, and waste.

13
Conclusion

• All cells have a cell membrane, nucleus, and
  cytoplasm.
• Plant Cells have Chloroplasts, Cell Walls
• Both Plant and Animal cells have vacuoles,
  however, Plant cells have VERY LARGE vacuoles,
  while animal cells have many small vacuoles.
