Plant Cell vs Animal Cell Structure 4th
Plant and Animal Cells Plant Cell cell wall chloroplast large vacuole Animal cell no cell wall no chloroplast many small vacuoles Identifying the chloroplast, cell wall and large vacuole inplant cell. Use the yellow color to color the cell wall and chloroplast. Use the blue to color the large vacuole. Click on the blank space for a drop down list of words. Choose the word that best fits the sentence. 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. Chloroplast uses solar energy to produce glucose in a process known as photosynthesis Cell wall provides shape, support and protection Vacuole Used for storage of water, waste and nutrients (large in plant cells, many small in animal) Nucleus Governs cell activities and contains chromosomes. Cytoplasm Supports organelles, allows for movement. Mitochondria Power house of the cell, transforms food into usable energy. Cell membrane Regulates cell contents. Lysosome Contains digestive enzymes that breakdown unwanted cell parts. Label the Plant Cell Diagram Identify the nucleus, cell membrane, cell wall, chloroplast, mitochondria, vacuole and cytoplasm. 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 Animal Cell Label the parts of the animal cell.
