Parts+of+a+cell

Comparison between Animal and Plant Cells: BOTH: Nucleus- the control center of a cell (a little like a brain) BOTH: Nucleolus- contains genetic material in the form of strands of chromosomes BOTH: Cytoplasm- a jelly-like substance that the cell's organelles are located in BOTH: Endoplasmic Reticulum- functions as a "packaging center" for the cell BOTH: Ribosomes- where proteins are made BOTH: Vacuole- where waste materials are stored BOTH: Mitochondria- produces energy for the cell to function BOTH: Cell Membrane- controls what gets in and out of the cell PLANT: Chlorophyll- a green fluid that attracts light to leaves (for photosynthesis) PLANT: Cell Wall- a plant cell's extra protection to alien substances ANIMAL: Lysosomes- digestive system



Comparisons to Real Life (ex. School) The [|endoplasmic reticulum] is like the hallway of a school. (C.G.)

Explained Plant cells are the only ones that have cell walls and chloroplasts (E.C)

Plants are green because the Chlorophyll inside the leaves are Green. (J.S) (J.C)

There are two main types of cells that have two different sets of organelles: animal and plant.
