compare and contrast animal and plant cells

• Cells are the tiny building blocks that make up
  all living things.

What is the difference between an animal cell and
a plant cell?

• Both animal and plant cells have tiny organelles
  or parts inside them.
• Here are the parts you need to know cell
  membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, nucleus, and
  chloroplasts.
• The cell membrane protects the cell and controls
  what substances enter and leave it.
• The nucleus is the cells control center. Genetic
  information is stored in the nucleus.
• The cell wall gives the plant cell a stiff, rigid
  box-like shape.
• Cytoplasm is the area between the cell membrane
  and the nucleus it contains a gel-like fluid
  where the other organelles move around in.
• Chloroplasts capture energy from the sun and use
  it to manufacture its food, glucose.

What are the two different shapes that you see
in the plant and animal cell models?

• PLANT CELLS are shaped like boxes or SQUARES.
• ANIMAL CELLS are circular or round.

What TWO organelles do plant cells have, but
animal cells DO NOT? WHY?

• CHLOROPLASTS AND A CELL WALL
• Plants make their own food inside the
  chloroplasts.
• The cell wall helps create and maintain structure
  for the plants stem or trunk.
