PLANT & ANIMAL CELLS ORGANELLES & STRUCTURES  LEARNING OBJECTIVES I can identify the similarities and differences of the cells I am able to identify different structures within a cell.  Why are there similarities and differences of the cell? Talk within your groups Animal Vs Plant Plant Animal Can you tell the difference? What similarities and differences do you see?  Can you tell the difference? What similarities and differences do Organelle: any of a number of organized or specialized structures within a living cell LET’S LOOK AT THE TYPES OF ORGANELLES  Animal Vs Plant We’ll Make 2 Drawings  cell membrane The layer of both plant and animal cells that helps keep fluids and other organelles inside the cell. The cell membrane acts as a “security guard” as it has small holes that let some molecules in but keeps out any harmful molecules.  cell wall The outer layer of plant cells that helps keep everything inside the cell protected. The cell wall is made of very strong materials that can keep anything harmful outside of the cell.  cytoplasm The fluid that fills a cell. Cytoplasm is found in both plant and animal cells and is made up of many dissolved molecules that can be used for other processes throughout the cell.  Nucleus The “control center” of both plant and animal cells that controls growth and reproduction. The nucleus is located near the center of the cell and contains all of the cell’s chromosomes.  Nucleolus The part of both plant and animal cells that is found inside the nucleus. The nucleolus is made of RNA and protein. It looks like a nucleus inside of a nucleus.  chloroplast Converts light energy of the sun into sugars that can be used by cells. Chloroplast is the organelle where photosynthesis takes place and is only found in plant cells.  mitochondria Performs cellular respiration, or the process in which nutrients are broken down and turned into energy the cell can use. Mitochondria is found in both plant and animal cells and is known as the “powerhouse” of the cell.  Golgi apparatus Turns combinations of molecules into new, more complex molecules and then sends them out of the cell or stores Golgi them.apparatus is found in both plant and animal cells.  Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (E.R.) An organelle attached to the nucleus that’s important in the creation and storage Smooth E.R. is found in of lipids. both plant and animals cells and looks like a group of tubes.  Rough endoplasmic reticulum (E.R.) Works with ribosomes attached to it to help with the synthesis and packing of proteins. Rough E.R. is found in both plant and animal cells and looks like sheets of bumpy membranes attached to the nucleus.  vacuole A storage bubble that stores food and nutrients the cell needs to survive. Vacuoles are found in both plant and animal cells but are larger in plant cells.  ribosomes Small organelles that build long chains of amino acids for the cell. Ribosomes are found in both plant and animal cells and are known as the “protein builders” of the cell.  peroxisome An organelle that digests nutrients and helps break down toxic materials. Peroxisomes are found in both plant and animal cells. They have digestive enzymes in their membranes to digest nutrients like amino acids, cholesterol, and fatty acids.  Lysosome Helps digest and break down food in the cell with the help of enzymes that are stored here. Lysosomes are only found in animal cells. Microtubules Helps provide structure to the cell and also helps with cell division. Microtubules are only found in animal cells.  Centrioles Helps the cell divide during mitosis and meiosis. Centrioles are only found in animal cells and are made up of multiple microtubules.  THAT’S ALL OF THEM! HERE’S A QUICK TIP...  THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CELLS Plant cells Animal have cell cells don’t walls. have a cell wall - only a cell membrane. Plant cells Animal have larger cells vacuoles. have centriole s. Plant Cell Animal Cell
