The "powerhouses" of the cell,
MITOCHONDRIA responsible for cellular respiration and
energy production
Network of interconnected tubes and sacs
that transport materials within the cell.
VACUOLE
Large, fluid-filled organelles that
ENDOPLASMIC store water, waste, and other
RETICULUM substances

GOLGI Modifies, packages, and distributes

APPARATUS proteins and other cellular products.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding

Both plant and animal cells are

eukaryotic which means they contain
membrane bound organelles like the
nucleus and mitochondria. However,
plant cells and animal cells do not look
exactly the same or have all of the same
organelles, since each of them have
different needs.

For example, plant cells contain

chloroplasts since they need to perform
photosynthesis, but animal cells do not.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding

So, how are a plant cell and an

animal cell similar or different?
Why do plants and animals have
differences? Plant and animal
cells differ because they have to
perform different functions.

Both animal and plant cells have

mitochondria, but only plant cells
have chloroplasts.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding

Plants don’t get their sugar from eating

food, so they need to make sugar with
the help of the sunlight. This process
which is known as photosynthesis takes
place in the chloroplast. Once the sugar
is made, it is then broken down by the
mitochondria to make energy for the
cell.

Because animals get sugar from the

food they eat, they do not need
chloroplasts: just mitochondria.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding

Both plant and animal cells have vacuoles. A plant cell

contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage
and maintaining the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal
cells have many, smaller vacuoles.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding

Plant cells have a cell wall and a

plasma membrane. In plants, the
cell wall surrounds the plasma
membrane. This gives the plant cell
its boxlike shape. This also allows
the plants to remain strong and
stand upright even if it grows to
great heights.

Animal cells simply have a plasma

membrane, but no cell wall.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding

The table that follows summarizes the similarities and differences of

animal cells and plant cells. Notice the organelles that can be found in
both types of cells and observe carefully the organelles which are
present only in animal cell or in plant cell.
