Plant/Animal Cells

Plant and animal cells

have specialized

structures inside that

perform critical

functions for the cell.

these specialized
structures are

called organelles.

Multiple Choice

What are organelles?

• Organs that perform specialized functions.

• Muscles that perform specialized functions.

• Structures that perform specialized functions.

• Cells that perform specialized functions.

Plant and animal
cells are similar
because they are
eukaryotic cells.

eukaryotic cells
have a clearly
defined nucleus.

Multiple Choice

What is a eukaryotic cell?

• A cell that has no nucleus

• A cell that has a cell wall

• A cell that has a nucleus

• A cell that has organelles

many of the same
structures and
organelles can be
found in both plant
and animal cells.

These similar organelles
include: the nucleus, cell
membrane, chromosomes,
cytoplasm, mitochondria,
and vacuoles. (and many more)

the nucleus

controls the cell

activities and

production of new

cells.

Chromosomes are
threadlike and carry
information about the

characteristics of

the organism.

The Cell Membrane is a covering or barrier
that covers and holds the cell together and controls what comes in and out of the cell.

Cytoplasm is a jelly-like
substance that contains

chemicals for cell

functions. organelles
are suspended within it.

Vacuoles are structures that store water in the cell, waste and other materials.

mitochondria are

organelles that release

energy from food.

They’re considered the
powerhouse of the cell.

there are three structures
found in plant cells that
are not present in animal

cells: chloroplasts, a

central vacuole, and a cell

wall.

chloroplasts are

organelles that make

food for the cell.
(photosynthesis)

The central vacuole
helps to maintain
pressure inside the
plant cell.

The cell wall is a rigid
layer that supports and

protects the cell. It’s
located outside of the

cell membrane
