Cell Structure

Plant Cell



Animal Cell



How do you think plant cells differ from animal cells?

Difference
- Plants cells are larger than animal cells.
- Plant cells have chloroplasts unlike animal cells
- Plant cells have a cell wall unlike animal cells
- Animal cells have a centrosome unlike plant cells
- Plant cells have plasticids unlike animal cells
- Vacuoles are conspicuous in plant cells than animal cells i.e. large central vacuole in plant cells

Similarities

 Animal cells can be phagocytic (engulf other cells) unlike plant cells
- Cells of Higher plants lack centrioles unlike animal cells.
- Plant cells have plasmodesmata which links pores in the cell wall allow and communication between adjacent cells unlike animal cells.

What are some of the structures inside a cell that helps it to live and performs it's role in a organism?  
                            

  Some of the structures inside a cell that helps it to live and performs it's role in a organism are... mitochrondria-"powerhouse of cell",plasmamembrane- protects the cell from damage.

 An image of what centrioles look like...

The functions of a centrioles-centrioles produce spindle fibres, these are used to pull apart chromosomes in mitosis and meiosis.To organize the motion of the chromogomes.

Nucleus- the center of an atom.

Nucleolus-  a small round body of protein in a cell.

Organelle-little organs
