Animal Cell Plant Cell Science Fast Facts Part of the cell Function Nucleus Controls all the activities in the cell; contains DNA Cytoplasm Liquid medium which contains cell organelles and dissolved minerals Cell membrane Protects the cell and controls the flow of material in and out of the cell Cell wall Gives support and maintains the shape of the cell Chloroplast Contains chlorophyll for the process of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and changes light energy to chemical energy (food) Vacuole Contains water and stores food and minerals, and wastes Mitochondrion Burns glucose to generate energy (ATP) for the cell Comparing Animal and Plant Cells Cells Animal and plant cells are very similar, except that plant cells contain a cell wall and a chloroplast as well as the same organelles that the animal cell contains. The cell wall helps the plant to have structure and support since plants do not have skeletons. All living organisms are made of cells. Cells are the most basic unit of life. Cells are composed of organelles which are composed of chemical compounds. Prokaryotes are the simplest cells. Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus with a membrane or any membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria. Prokaryotes have DNA floating in the cytoplasm of the cell and reproduce asexually through fission. Eukaryotes are more advanced and all organisms such as plants, animals, and even fungi have eukaryotic cells. These cells have a nucleus which contains their DNA. These cells are complex and contain many organelles. Kingdoms of living organisms with cell types Animals and plants have traits inherited from both parents. These traits come from genes found on chromosomes. Chromosomes are located in the cell nucleus. Biotic Abiotic
