Animal Cell & Plant Cell
Comparison
Goal: Make observations and
describe the structure and
functions of organelles found in
plants and animal cells.
Cell Organelle Comparisons
*Some of the following is only in plants. Some are only in animals. Most are in both animal
and plant cells.



1. cell wall- support
2. cell membrane- door
3. vacuole- storage
4. nucleus- brain
5. mitochondria- energy
6. chromosomes- blueprints
7. cytoplasm- jellylike
8. chloroplast-food-maker
9. endoplasmic reticulum- transport
10. ribosomes- protein
“ribs=meat=protein”
11. lysosome- break down “Lysol”
12. golgi bodies- package
Cell Wall

1. cell wall- supports the cell and
gives it its rigid shape. ONLY in
Plants.
This is


what makes the plant
stand up
Cell Membrane Semi-permeable

2. cell membrane- DOOR--- This
controls and regulates what enters
and leaves the cell. This is BOTH
plants and animal cells.
Not as clear as the
cell wall

Vacuole

3. vacuole- storage spaces for food
& water.**Large in plant cell- stores more food ,smaller in
animal cell.
Nucleus

4. nucleus- brain; controls the
action of the cell like a computer.




Chromosomes
6. chromosomes- blueprints of the cell. It
contains the information about the
characteristics. Chromosomes are inside the
nucleus of any cell.
Larger to smaller
nucleus-> chromosome -> DNA

Mitochondria
5. mitochondria- energy
powerhouse of the cell, releases
energy stored to carry out cell’s
activities.
Cytoplasm

7. cytoplasm- jellylike substance
that holds organelles in place.
Chloroplasts

8. chloroplast- foodmaker of the
cell; found only in plant cells.
ER


9. endoplasmic reticulumtransports things within the cell. 2
types- rough
and smooth.
Ribosomes

10. ribosomes- protein maker in
the cell. Dots on the rough
endoplasmic reticulum.

11. lysosome- breaks down
(garbage collector) materials in
the cell.
Golgi Body

12. golgi body- packages—flat,
stacked membranes---Golgi bodies
sort protein and PACKAGE them
