plant and animal cells and organelles
TRANSCRIPT
PLANT AND ANIMAL CELLS
AND ORGANELLES
Life Science
Organelles
Organelles = little organs that perform
specific jobs in the cell
Organelles are found in eukaryotic cells but
not prokaryotic cells
Plant and Animal cells are both examples of
eukaryotic cells with organelles
Plant and Animal cells contain many of the
same organelles, but there are several
differences
Plant vs. Animal Cells
There are three main differences between plant and
animal cells:
1. Plant cells have a cell
wall, Animal Cells do
not
Plant vs. Animal Cells
2. Plant cells have
chloroplasts and
Animal Cells do not
Plant vs. Animal Cells
3. Plant cells have larger
vacuoles (storage
spaces)
Plant vs. Animal Cells
Plant Cells
1.Chloroplasts
2.Cell wall
3.Large vacuole
Animal Cells
1.No Chloroplasts
2.No Cell wall
3.Small Vacuole
Plant vs. Animal
Cells
Organelles
1. Nucleus
2. Ribosomes
3. Mitochondria
4. Chloroplast
5. Vacuole
6. Endoplasmic reticulum
7. Golgi Apparatus
8. Plasma Membrane
9. Cell Wall
Nucleus
Looks like: Central
area where DNA is
found
Job: controls the cell
In a factory: Boss
Ribosomes
Looks like: Small particles of RNA in the
cytoplasm and on the ER
Job: make proteins (protein synthesis)
In a factory: workers
Mitochondria
Looks like: a bean
Job: powerhouse of
the cell-it produces
the energy in the
form of ATP
In a factory:
generator (energy
source)
Mitochondria
Chloroplast
Looks like: green
stacks of membranes
the contain chlorophyll
Job: perform
photosynthesis
(convert sunlight into
energy)
In the factory:
greenhouse
Vacuole
Looks like: sac-like
organ. HUGE in
plant cells
Job: stores water,
food, and waste
In a factory: storage
room
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Looks like: internal
membrane system next
to the nucleus (rough
ER has ribosomes,
smooth ER does not)
Job: transports
materials
In a factory: conveyor
belt
Golgi Complex (Apparatus)
Looks like: stack of
membranes
Job: Packs, sorts, and
ships
In a factory: packaging
center
Golgi Complex (Apparatus)
Cell (Plasma) Membrane
Looks like: layered
membrane (called a lipid
bilayer) surrounding the
cell but inside of the cell wall
Job: “the regulator”-
controls what comes in
and out of the cell,
protects, and supports the
cell
In a factory: security
guards
Cell Wall
Looks like: thick layer
outside the plasma
membrane
Job: structure and
support
In a factory: Cement
wall
Lysosome
Looks like: small, sac-like
organ
Job: breaks down wastes
In a factory: recycling center
Location: animal
