Plant Cells and Animal Cells

I am the outer most layer of an animal cell. What am I?

• cell wall

• nucleus

• cell membrane 

• cell skin

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

These are small structures located in cells that do certain jobs.

• organelle

• cell membrane

• cytoplasm

• organism

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This is the rigid outermost layer around plant cells that protects the plant cell.

• Cell membrane

• Cell wall

• Chloroplast

• Cytoplasm

This is where photosynthesis happens in a plant cell. This organelle is what makes plants green.

• Cell wall

• Chloroplast

• Mitochondria

• Cytoplasm

NGSS.MS-LS1-6

This structure controls what enters and exits an animal cell.

• Cell wall

• Cell membrane

• Cytoplasm

• Nucleus

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This organelle directs all the activities of the cell. Its like the brain of the cell.

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

• Chloroplast

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This organelle provides energy for the cell. Sugar is broken down here to form energy.

• Chloroplast

• Mitochondria

• Cytoplasm

• Nucleus

Identify letter "b".

• chloroplasts

• cell wall

• nucleus

• cytoplasm

• lysosome

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This organelle digests (breaks down) materials into smaller pieces.

• Lysosomes

• Nucleus

• Chloroplasts

• Mitochondria

Why do plants cells need chloroplasts, but animal cells do not?

• Plant cells require structure.

• Plant cells have to make their own food.

• Plant cells have a cell wall.

• Plant cells cannot make their own food.
