• ​Difference between plant and animal cells

Do you know any cell organelles already? List them here. Have a guess! 

What are organelles? ​

• 'Little organs'

• Parts of a cell that help it to function

• Each one carries out a different function

• Some are only in plant cells, and some are in both animal and plant cells ​

​Organelles we need to know

• ​Cell membrane

• ​Cell wall

• ​Nucleus

• ​Chloroplast

• ​Cytoplasm

• ​Mitochondria

• ​Vacuole

Multiple Choice

To provide protection and form for the plant cell is a function of _________.

• Cell Wall

• Cytoplasm

• Nucleus

• Mitochondria

Multiple Choice

Breaks down food  to release energy. Known as the power plant of the cell.

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Mitochondria

• Ribosomes

• Cell Wall

​Cell Wall and Cell Membrane

• ​Only plant cells have a cell wall, it provides rigid structure and support

• ​Animal and plant cells have a cell membrane. It allows substances to move in and out of the cell

• ​Both of them are the 'border' to the cell

​Nucleus, Cytoplasm, Mitochondria

• ​All 3 found in plant and animal cells

• ​Nucleus is like the brain of the cell. It controls everything. It holds all the genetic material in the cell (the DNA)

• ​The cytoplasm is a clear jelly like substance that fills all the 'empty spaces' - it contains nutrients

• ​Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell. They produce energy for the cell to use.

​Chloroplasts and Vacuole

• ​Only found in plant cells

• ​Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis, and give plants their green colour

• ​Vacuoles are a storage facility. They store extra nutrients, like water and sugar. Sometimes animal cells have these, but they are much smaller and not permanent.

Multiple Choice

To store water, glucose (sugar) materials (building blocks) or wastes is a function of _________.

• Cell Wall

• Vacuole

• Chloroplast

• Mitochondria

Multiple Choice

The clear, jelly-like material in a cell that supports and protects the cell’s organelles.

• Cytoplasm

• Cell Membrane

• Nucleus

• Mitochondria

Multiple Choice

Where can you find the chloroplast? 

• Only Plants

• Only Animals

• Plants & Animals

• Animals & Bacteria

Multiple Choice

Why is the nucleus important? 

• It give the cell its energy

• It stores genetic information

• It uses sunlight for food

• It makes the proteins
