Plant and Animal Cells
You will need a ruler
Goal: I will compare the parts of
plant and animal cells.
Name 3 parts of this room
that are necessary

Flagellum
Nucleus
Ribosomes
Rough
endoplasmic
reticulum
Lysosome
Cell membrane
Golgi Apparatus
Vacuole
Mitochondria
Nucleolus
Smooth E.R.
Nucleus
Nuclear membrane
Cell membrane
Ribosomes
Cell wall
Vacuole
Rough E.R.
Golgi Apparatus
Chloroplast
Mitochondria
Lysosome
 Nucleus
 The control centre of the cell
 Contains the genetic material, or
chromosomes, the instructions to carry out
almost all functions within the organism
 Flagellum
 A long appendage found on some animal
cells used for locomotion
 Only specialized animal cells and some
single celled organisms have these (NOT
ALL ANIMAL CELLS HAVE THESE!!!)
 Vacuole
 A large membrane bound sac that contains
water and dissolved nutrients
 Very large in plant cells, smaller in animal
cells
 Cell membrane
 A membrane around the cell that acts as a
selective barrier
 Mitochondria
 An organelle that creates energy for the cell
through a process of cellular respiration.
 Ribosomes
 Proteins are made here
 Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)
 Involved in the movement of proteins within
the cell
 Covered in ribosomes
 Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)
 Involved in the transport of materials within
the cell
 Lysosome
 Contain special enzymes that are used to
break down large molecules
 Golgi Apparatus
 Storage and packaging site of proteins
 Nuclear Membrane
 Controls the movement in and out of the
nucleus
 Nucleolus
 Where ribosomes are formed
 Chloroplasts
 The site of photosynthesis
 Where plants make energy
 Cell Wall
 Protects and supports the plant cell

Look at the chart. IN A PARAGRAPH,
summarise the similarities and
differences between the plant and
animal cells.
Write your paragraph under your chart.
