PLANT CELLS vs ANIMAL CELLS
If you can label diagrams of a plant or animal cell, then you pretty much know what the
differences are between them.
This table summarizes the differences:
ORGANELLE
ANIMAL CELL
PLANT CELL
centrioles
visible
none (not visible)
cell wall
none
present
chloroplasts
none
present
vacuole
small
large

ORGANELLES & THEIR FUNCTIONS
Now that you know what each organelle looks like, it's time to get the functions of
each organelle to stick to your brain somewhere. Choose an organelle from the
word bank for each description in #1-15 by matching the definition to the cell
organelle.
WORD BANK
cell membrane
cell wall
chloroplast
centrioles
centrosome
cytoplasm
endoplasmic reticulum
golgi apparatus
lysosome
mitochondria
nuclear membrane
nucleolus
nucleus
ribosomes
vacuole
1. liquid inside the cell, mostly water
2. made of lipids & proteins, it is the boundary of the cell; it controls what substances enter
or leave the cell
3. "control center of the cell" where genetic material (DNA) is found
4. nonliving border that surrounds plant cells, made of cellulose
5. very small organelles that are the sites of protein synthesis
6. system of tubes through the cytoplasm involved in transporting materials
7. a flat stack of tubes involved in "packaging" materials that will exit the cell
8. site of cellular respiration (where energy is released from nutrients)
9. storage sac for water or other materials
10. controls what enters or exits the nucleus
11. dark round structure within the nucleus that produces ribosomes
12. specialized vacuole that stores digestive enzymes
13. structure in animal cells involved in cell division
14. spherical structure that contains the centrioles
15. site of photosynthesis in plant cells
