Plant vs. Animal Cell Test study guide Feature Plant cell Animal cell Shape Box-like or rectangular Round or irregular Cell wall Yes, a strong outer layer for No, only a cell membrane support Cell Membrane Yes, inside the cell wall. It lets Yes, the outer layer of the cell.It things in and out, like a gate. lets things in and out, like a gate. Chloroplasts Yes, helps the plant make food No, animals get food from (photosynthesis) eating Vacuole One large vacuole to store water Small or none, stores things and nutrients temporarily Nucleus Yes, Controls the cell Yes, controls the cell Mitochondria Yes, makes energy for the cell Yes, makes energy for the cell Cytoplasm Yes, jelly-like substance that Yes, jelly-like substance that holds cell parts holds cell parts Organelles and Functions Organelle Functions Nucleus Control center of the cell, tells the cell what to do Cell wall (only in plant cells) Supports the cells’ shape and protects the cells Cell Membrane A protective barrier around the cell. It lets things in and out Cytoplasm A jelly-like substance inside the cell where all organelles float. It helps hold everything in place Mitochondria The powerhouse of the cell, gives energy to the cell Ribosomes The factories that make proteins, which help the cell work and grow Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough and Smooth) A transportation system for the cell, it moves things around Golgi Apparatus The post office of the cell. It packages and sends proteins to where they are needed Lysosomes The clean-up crew, they break down waste and unwanted materials inside the cell Vacuole A storage space, holds water, nutrients or waste until the cell needs them Chloroplast (only in plant cells) Turns sunlight into food for the plant (photosynthesis)
