Bio, Plant & Animal Cells

Plant and animal cells share components like a nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, and cell membrane. Plant cells contain additional structures - a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole. The cell wall provides structure and protection for plant cells. Chloroplasts allow plants to perform photosynthesis to produce their own food. The large vacuole in plant cells stores water, nutrients, and waste products.

What are the things that plant and animal cells have in
common

“ Animal cells and plant cells share the common


components of a nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria
and a cell membrane. Plant cells have three extra
components, a vacuole, chloroplast and a cell wall.
— researches
Difference between plant cell and animal cell
 A plant cell is surrounded by rigid cell wall whereas animal cell
does not have cell wall.
 Presence of a large vacuole in plant cell, which is small in animal cell.
Plant cells are larger than animal cells.
Plant cells have plastids whereas animal cells do not have plastids.
 Centrosomes are absent in plant cell whereas animal cell have
centrosomes.
Plant cells are without cilia whereas animal cells are with cilia.
 Lysosomes are very rare in plant cells. But animal cells have lysosomes.
Organelle table
ORGANELLE LOCATION DESCRIPTION FUNCTION

*Outer layer *support (grow tall)


CELL WALL Plant, fungi and bacteria but not animal *Rigid, strong, stiff *protection
*Made of cellulose *allows H2O, O2, CO2 to pass into and out of cell

*support *protection
*Plant - inside cell wall
CELL MEMBRANE *controls movement of materials in/out of cell
Both plant/animal all cells *Animal - outer layer; cholesterol
*barrier between cell and its environment
*Selectively permeable
*maintains homeostasis

*Clear, thick, jellylike material (sytosol)


CYTOPLASM Both plant/animal all cells *Organelles found inside cell membrane *supports /protects cell organelles
*Contains cytoskelon fibers

CHLOROPLAST *Green, oval usually containing chlorophyll (green


Plant, not animal *uses energy from sun to make food for the plant (photosynthesis)
pigment)

*controls cell activities


NUCLEUS both plant/animal *large, oval generally *key organelle which has the genetic material and is involved in
multiplication of cell, growth and maintenance of cell

*Vacuoles are pouches in the cell that store materials such as water, salts,
VACUOLE Plant - few/large animal - small *Fluid-filled sacs proteins, and carbohydrates, waste products and toxic waste..
*store food, water, waste (plants need to store large amounts of food)
