Plant vs Animal Cells Explained

This document compares and contrasts plant and animal cells, describing their key differences and similarities. Plant cells have cell walls and chloroplasts, giving them a fixed shape and allowing them to perform photosynthesis. Animal cells lack cell walls and chloroplasts. The document also describes several common cell organelles like mitochondria, chloroplasts, Golgi bodies, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, nuclei, and vacuoles, and provides a brief overview of each organelle's structure and function.

PLANT AND ANIMAL CELLS


DIFFERENCE IN THE CELLS
Plant
It has a cell wall
Its shape is rectangular ( fixed
shape)
Has one large vacuole that takes
up 90% of cell volume
It has chloroplast (makes food)

Animal
Doesnt have a cell wall
Its shape is irregular
Has one or many small vacuoles
Doesnt have chloroplast
(animals cant make their own
food)

CELL ORGANELLES
Organelle
Mitochondria

Chloroplast
Golgi body

Lysosome

Description
Small organelles that floats
free throughout the cell
Made of two membranes

Contains green pigment


(chlorophyll
Stack of flat membrane
sacs

Small spherical membrane

Function
Keeps cell full of energy
Takes in nutruents and
breaks them down
Cellular respiration
happens in the
mitochondria
Site of food manufacture
Also a packaging system
Builds lysosomes
May also create complex
sugars which sends to
secretory vesicles
Holds the enzymes
Digests food or break

Endoplasmic
reticulum

Ribosome
Nucleus

Nucleolus
Cell membrane

Vacuole

bound

down the cell when its dies

A network of membrane
connected to the nucleus
Slightly different sizes and
structure
Tiny organelles

Manufacturing and

Dark spot in the middle of


all the cytoplasm

Site of production of
protein
Contains the chromosomes
used to control the
development and
functioning of whole cell
Forms the boundary
between the cytoplasm
and the outside
environment controls the
entry and exit of
substances to and from the
cell
Store water and other
substances are large and
important in plant cell
