Plant Cell
Animal Cell
Using your Plant and Animal Sketch, compare and contrast the parts
and functions of the two types of cells that we have studied.
You may use a Venn diagram, double bubble map, or a chart.
Compare & Contrast
Plant Cell
Animal Cell
Using your compare & contrast graphic organizer, write two paragraphs
using complete sentences comparing and contrasting the plant and
animal cell.
1. The first paragraph should be about how the two cells are similar
(compare).
2. The second paragraph should be about how the two cells are
different (contrast).
When done, exchange your paragraphs with a neighbor for constructive
evaluation.
Writing Practice
Animal cells come
in many different
shapes and sizes.
The shapes of cells
have evolved to
help them carry out
their specific
function in the body.
How many different
types can you
discover on the
web?
