Plant and Animal Cells

A plant cell is a type of cell that is found in plants. It has a rigid cell wall, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and a large central vacuole.

An animal cell is a type of cell that is found in animals. It does not have a cell wall or chloroplasts, and it has smaller vacuoles compared to plant cells.

The cell wall provides structure and protection to the plant cell, helping to maintain its shape.

Chloroplasts are organelles in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy.

The vacuole stores nutrients, waste products, and helps maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.

The cell membrane is a protective barrier that surrounds the cell, controlling what enters and exits the cell.

Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance inside the cell where organelles are suspended and chemical reactions occur.

The nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing the cell's genetic material (DNA) and regulating cell activities.

Red blood cells are specialized cells that carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.

Skin cells are cells that make up the outer layer of the skin, providing protection and regulating temperature.
