Plant Cell and Animal Cell
Similarities
Animal Cell
Differences
1. Cell Wall – strong, stiff,
nonliving layer that
surrounds, strengthens, and
supports the cell
membrane
2. Chloroplasts – green
organelle with two
membranes and stacks of
coins inside where sunlight
energy is captured and
used to make sugar for the
plant cell through the
process of photosynthesis.
3. Lysosome – round
organelle that contains
chemicals which digests
food particles, wastes, cell
parts, and other foreign
invaders. Only found in
SOME plants.
4. Vacuole – VERY LARGE
container for the storage of
water and other liquids in
plants (takes up about 90%
of the plant cell)
1. Cell Membrane – a phospholipid layer surrounding the cell that
controls what enters and leaves the cell; it also keeps the
cytoplasm inside.
2. Cytoplasm – clear, jelly-like fluid that holds all of the cell
organelles in place.
3. Endoplasmic Reticulum – flattened sacks stacked side by side,
known as “the transportation center” of the cell because they
form a network of passageways to carry materials throughout
the cell; makes lipids; breaks down drugs and other
substances; can be smooth or rough.
4. Golgi Bodies – flattened sacs similar to the endoplasmic
reticulum that modify (change), package, and transport
materials to other parts of the cell. Located close to the cell
membrane.
5. Mitochondria – bean-shaped organelle which is “the
powerhouse” of the cell. It makes energy for the cell to use by
breaking down food molecules to make ATP.
6. Nuclear Membrane – a thin layer which covers the nucleus
and protects the DNA and other materials inside the nucleus.
7. Nucleolus – dark spot INSIDE the nucleus which stores the
materials that are used to make ribosomes.
8. Nucleus – large spot in the middle of eukaryotic cells that
contains all the cell’s DNA. It is the control center of the cell
because it directs ALL of the cell’
9. Ribosome – smallest and most abundant organelle in the cell
that function as factories to male proteins for the cell out of
amino acids. They may be attached to the endoplasmic
reticulum or they may float around freely in the cytoplasm.
1. Cytoskeleton – a type of
protein framework inside
of animal cells which
gives them their shape.
ANIMAL CELLS DO NOT
HAVE CELL WALLS!
5. Lysosome – round
organelle that contains
chemicals which digests
food particles, wastes,
cell parts, and other
foreign invaders. Found
in ALL animal cells and
are more numerous in
animal cells than in
plant cells.
2. Vacuole – small
container for storage of
food, water, waste and
other materials.
