Plants vs. Animal Cells
Mr. Ellis
Do Now
 What
do you think is the most important
organelle? Why, please explain your
answer using science!
All Cells
 All
cells have three basic components:
Cell Membrane, Nucleus, Cytoplasm.
 Animal
Cells have similarities to plant
cells, but are different in a few ways.
 Let’s
look:
Plant vs. Animal
Plant Cells
 Plant
cells are different from animal cells.
 Plant
cells contain many of the same
organelles you would find in an animal cell
with the exception of a few key players
 (1)Cell
Walls and (2)Chloroplasts are
found in plant cells and not animal cells.
Cell Wall
 Cell
Walls are only found in plant cells.
 Cell walls a rigid structures made of
cellulose (basically wood).
 Cell Walls perform the following:



Protect the Cells
Give the Cells a Strong Shape
They provide support for the Cells
Cell Walls
Chloroplast
 Chloroplast
is essentially what makes a
plant cell a plant cell.
 Chloroplasts
 Chlorophyll
are filled with chlorophyll.
creates food from solar energy
for the plants, it also give plants their usual
green color.
Chloroplasts
Vacuoles

I know, animal cells
have vacuoles, but
they’re different
between the two
different cells.
Plant Vacuoles

Plant Cells have one
or two LARGE
vacuoles. These
vacuoles many hold
water for the cells.
Animal Vacuoles

Animal cell vacuoles
are numerous, small,
and contain water,
food, and waste.
Conclusion
 All
cells have a cell membrane, nucleus,
and cytoplasm.
 Plant
Cells have: Chloroplasts, Cell Walls
 Both Plant and Animal cells have
vacuoles, however, Plant cells have VERY
LARGE vacuoles, while animal cells have
many small vacuoles.
