Cell Wall Ribosomes Nucleus Nickname: Protector Nickname: Protein Maker Nickname: Brain The cell wall is the outer covering of a Plant cell. It is Ribosomes read the recipe from the The nucleus is the largest organelle in a cell. The a strong and stiff and made of DNA and use this recipe to make nucleus directs all activity in the cell. It also controls cellulose. It supports and protects the plant cell by proteins. The nucleus tells the the growth and reproduction of the cell. holding it upright. It ribosomes which proteins to make. In humans, the nucleus contains 46 chromosomes allows water, oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass in out They are found in both plant and which are the instructions for all the activities in your of plant cell. animal cells. In a cell they can be found cell and body. floating around in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. Chloroplast Cytoplasm Endoplasmic Reticulum Nickname: Oven Nickname: Gel Nickname: Highway Chloroplasts are oval structures that that contain a green Cytoplasm is the gel like fluid inside a The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the transportation pigment called chlorophyll. This allows plants to make cell. The organelles are floating around in center for the cell. The ER is like the conveyor belt, you their own food through the process of photosynthesis. this fluid. would see at a supermarket, except instead of moving your groceries it moves proteins from one part of the cell Chloroplasts are necessary for photosynthesis, the food to another. The Endoplasmic Reticulum looks like a making process, to occur. maze. They are found in both plant and animal cells. Vacuole Chromosomes Mitochondria Nickname: Refrigerator Nickname: Recipe Nickname: Power House A vacuole is a large storage area that holds food, water, and Chromosomes are made of DNA and are Mitochondria are called the powerhouses of the cell wastes. Vacuoles are found in both animal and plant cells. found inside the nucleus. In each of the because most of the cell's energy comes from them. cells in your body there are 46 Mitochondria burn the fuel (food) that gives the cell A plant cell usually has only 1 large vacuole that takes up chromosomes. These chromosomes, energy. Mitochondria are in both plant and Animal cells. much of the space inside the cell. In animal cells the which contain genes, are the recipes for vacuoles are much smaller. If you don't water a plant for a making proteins and the reason why you few days you see it droop. This is because the vacuole is look and are the way you are. almost empty. Once you water the plant again you will see it stand up straight again because you filled up the vacuole. Cell Membrane Lysosomes Differences between plant and animal cells Nickname: Skin Nickname: Garbage can Plant and Animal Cells: The cell membrane is on the outside of an The lysosomes have special digestive enzymes that are The major difference between plant and animal cells is animal cell and is found just underneath the used to digest old cell parts. It's like a garbage disposal that plant cells have cell walls and chloroplasts, and cell wall in a plant cell. Similar to the cell of a cell by breaking down things that the cell no longer animal cells do not. Chlorophyll is the substance found wall, it protects the cell and controls what needs. in green plants that allows them to make their own food, passes in and out of the cell. through the process of photosynthesis. Plant cells have The membrane is made from lipids and large vacuoles, where animal cells have small ones. But proteins made inside the cell. more important than their differences are their similarities. The basic function of cells, such as growing, making energy and getting rid of wastes, are similar among all organisms. Because of this similarity, scientists can move DNA from one organism to another. .
