What I LEARNED
Both animal cells and
plant cells are
surrounded by a cell
membrane, but a cell
wall is only found in
plant cells.
What do cells look like
under a microscope?
Talk with another group.
The cell wall appears
thicker than the cell
membrane.
Plant cells have
chlorophyll in them.
Ask my teacher.
How are animal cells and
plant cells the same?
How are animal cells and
plant cells different?
Search on the Internet.
The nucleus is large and
round/oval and is
centrally located within
each cell.
Look in the library.
DNA is stored in the cell’s
nucleus.
Does a cell wall look
thicker than a cell
membrane?
The organelles in cells
include the nucleus,
nucleolus, Golgi
apparatus, endoplasmic
Is chlorophyll seen
throughout the plant
cell?
reticulum, mitochondria,
lysosomes, and vacuole.
Read my textbook.
Can I see the
chromosomes in each
cell’s nucleus?
Do the sizes of the
organelles in the animal
cells differ from the size of
the organelles in the
plant cells?
What does a centriole do?
Watch a video.
Watch the Discovery
channel.
The cytoplasm is a jellylike fluid filling the space
between organelles.
The chloroplast is found
only in plant cells’
cytoplasm and is an oval
structure and normally
green, although the dye
used on the slides made
everything look orange.
The endoplasmic
reticulum looks like tubelike passageways.
Ribosomes look like
grains.
Mitochondria are beanshaped structures with a
smooth outer membrane
and a folded inner
membrane.
Lysosomes are small
round structures found in
the cytoplasm..
Vacuole is a large, round
sac in the cytoplasm.
A c entriole is barrelshaped and has a role in
cell division in most
animal cells but not in
higher plants or fungi.
