page 1 How are Plant & Animal Cells Different? Similar? Plant Cells Animal Cells Word Bank • Nucleus • Cytoplasm • Vacuoles • Producer • Cell wall • Chromosome • Cell membrane • Consumer • Chloroplast • Mitochondria • Makes own food • Obtains food from the environment Directions: Compare and contrast plant and animals cells by completing the Venn Diagram using the terms from the word bank. Then answer the questions. 1. What does the plant cell have that the animal cell doesn’t? ____________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ 2. How are these “additions” to the plant cell important to its overall function? ______________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ 3. How would animals be different if they had chloroplasts and cell walls? _________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ KC 4 Science © 2009 Kent ISD page 2 How are Plant & Animal Cells Different? Similar? (Answer Key) Plant Cells Cell Wall Chloroplast (Leaf and young stem cells are green and make food for the plant) (Producer) Animal Cells Nucleus Cytoplasm Vacuoles Cell Membrane Chromosome Mitochondria All cells must obtain food from the environment (eating) (Consumer) Word Bank • Nucleus • Cytoplasm • Vacuoles • Producer • Cell wall • Chromosome • Cell membrane • Consumer • Chloroplast • Mitochondria • Makes own food • Obtains food from the environment Directions: Compare and contrast plant and animals cells by completing the Venn Diagram using the terms from the word bank. Then answer the questions. Cell Wall and Chloroplast 1. What does the plant cell have that the animal cell doesn’t? ____________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ 2. How are these “additions” to the plant cell important to its overall function? ______________ Provides structural support to the plant and makes the plant green and essential to photosynthesis. ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ Answers will vary. Sug3. How would animals be different if they had chloroplasts and cell walls? _________________ gested response: If animals had chloroplasts and cell walls, they would be able to make their own food instead ___________________________________________________________________________ of___________________________________________________________________________ needing to eat (needing another organism to provide nourishment) and the structure would be more rigid. Skin might be thicker and stiffer. Hair might stick out straight! Animals would be very different! ___________________________________________________________________________ KC 4 Science © 2009 Kent ISD
