Are plant and
animal cells
the same
or different?
Most living things can be
divided into two. Do you
know what they are?
plants and animals
Then, are plant cells and animal cells the
same or different?
Do you think apple cells are different from
frog cells?
To answer this question, look at these two
pictures. Left is a picture of a plant cell
and right is of an animal cell.
Can you tell any differences?
They are very much alike, but…
… plant cells have two more parts, cell wall
and chloroplasts, in addition to all the
seven cells parts in animal cells.
Things to Remember!!!
Both plant cells and animal cells have 7
cell parts: cell membrane, cytoplasm,
mitochondria, vacuoles, nucleus, nuclear
membrane, and chromosomes.
 In addition to the 7 parts, plant cells have
2 more parts: cell wall and chloroplasts.
