7th Plant Cell vs Animal Cell

Plant and Animal Cells Plant cells contain an organelle called the chloroplast. The chloroplast allows plants to harvest energy from sunlight to carry on a process known as Photosynthesis. Specialized pigments in the chloroplast called chlorophyll absorb sunlight and use this energy to combine carbon dioxide and water and make GLUCOSE and OXYGEN. Label the Plant Cell Diagram Identify the nucleus, cell membrane, cell wall, chloroplast, mitochondria, vacuole and cytoplasm. nucleus cell wall vacuole mitochondria chloroplast cytoplasm cell membrane What makes a plant cell different from an animal cell? Click on the description then determine if it best represents a plant cell or an animal cell. Plant Cell cell wall chloroplast large vacuole Animal cell no cell wall no chloroplast many small vacuoles Vacuole Stores water, waste and nutrients. Nucleus Governs cell activities and contains genetic information(DNA). Cytoplasm Supports organelles, allows for movement. Cell membrane Regulates cell contents. What are the differences between plant and animal cells? Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and one large vacuole. Animal cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and one large vacuole. Animal cells are eukaryotic, and plant cells are prokaryotic. Plant cells are eukaryotic, and animal cells are prokaryotic. What is the function of the cell wall? Lets molecules pass in and out Tells the cell what to do Lets water pass in and out Gives the plant structure and support What is the function of the chloroplast? transforms energy from food into usable energy Changes energy from the sun into sugars stores food to be used or eliminated supports organelles and allows movement of materials Mitochondria VS Chloroplast Read the passage and answer the questions that follow. plant cells sunlight photosynthesis co2 and h2o glucose release energy cellular respiration lungs chloroplast site of photosynthesis Mitochondria site of cellular respiration Cell wall Provides shape, support and protection Lysosome contains digestive enzymes that break down material Plant vs Animal Cell Determine if the cell represented is a plant cell or animal cell then use the word back provided to identity the organelles. plant mitochondria chloroplast nucleus cell membrane cytoplasm vacuole cell wall animal nucleus cytoplasm mitochondria vacuole cell membrane Plant vs Animal Cell Determine if the cell represented is a plant cell or animal cell then use the word back provided to identity the organelles. animal vacuole plant vacuole cytoplasm nucleus chloroplast mitochondria cell membrane cell wall mitochondria cytoplasm cytoplasm Cell vs Human Body Analogy Match the cell organelle with the organ that performs a similar function in the human body. mitochondria lungs lysosome small intestine cytoplasm blood cell wall bones cell membrane skin Plant Cell Draw and label a plant cell. It should include a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria, vacuole and chloroplast.
