MELC : Differentiates plant and animal cells according
to presence or absence of certain organelles.
Quarter : 2
Week :8
Objectives:
A. Identifies the difference and similarities of plant and animal
cells;
B. Compares and contrast plant and animal cells using a Venn
diagram; and
C. Shows willingness to describe the functions of each organelle.
What is a cell?
• Smallest unit of living organisms that is capable of performing life
functions.
• Cells can only be observed under microscope.
• All living things, including plants and animals, are made up of
cells.
• Two basic types of cells:
Anatomy of a Plant Cell
Anatomy of an Animal Cell
Common Parts of Animal and Plant Cells
Cell Membrane

 It is the outer lining of the cell which


encloses all other cell organelles; also
known as the plasma membrane.

Function: It supports and protects the


cell. It also controls the movement of
materials in/out of cell. It forms a barrier
between cell and its environment.
Cytoplasm
 It is the fluid substance that fills the cell. All the cell organelles
are suspended in the cytoplasm.
Function: The cytoplasm maintains the osmotic concentration of
the cells and prevents them from bursting or shrinking.
Nucleus
 It is a membrane bound organelle, spherical in
shape. Most of the activities of the cell is directed
by the nucleus.
Function: All the cells in an animal has one
complete set of genes in its nucleus. The genetic
material DNA help in protein formation.

Nucleolus
It is darkly stained
are in
the nucleus, it aids
in protein formation
and RNA synthesis.
Mitochondria
It is the power house of the cell. A spherical or
rod shaped organelles and is enveloped by a
double membrane.
Function: The mitochondria aids in conversion
of glucose to high energy molecules (ATP) for
the cell.
Endoplasmic reticulum
It is a large network of interconnecting
membrane tunnels composed of both
rough endoplasmic reticulum and
smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

Functions: They play an important role in


the formation of the skeletal framework.
Golgi Apparatus
They are flattened stacks of membrane bound sacs. It looks like the
ER, and are located near the nucleus.
Function: Its function is to modify proteins made by the cell and
pack and export proteins to the cell parts.
Ribosomes

Ribosomes are found on the


endoplasmic reticulum.

Function: “protein factories”


Together they help in manufacturing
proteins for the cell following
instructions of the nucleus.
Vacuole
A compartment covered by a single membrane .
They are organelles for storage.

Functions : Stores water, food, or waste for the cells.


Only in Plant Cells

Cell Wall
It is a rigid layer that surrounds the plant cells. Its
main function is to provide rigidity, strength, protection
against mechanical stress and infection.
Chloroplasts
It is an elongated or disc- shaped organelle containing
chlorophyll. It is the site for photosynthesis in a plant cell.
Plastids
Plastids are storage organelles. They store products like
starch for synthesis of fatty acids and terpenes.
Only in Animal Cells
Lysosomes
A membrane bound organelles that contain
digestive enzymes. They break down the waste
products and detoxify the cell.

Centrioles
Are organelles that become
prominent only during cell division.
It functions as the anchor for the
cytoskeletons.
Similarities between
Plant cells and Animal cells
• Both have a cell membrane surrounding the
cytoplasm.
• Both have a nucleus
• Both contain mitochondria
Differences between
Plant cells and Animal cells
ANIMAL CELL PLANT CELL
Relatively smaller in size Relatively larger in size
Irregular shape Regular shape
No cell wall Cell wall present
Small vacuole Large central vacuole
Glycogen granules as food store Starch granules as food store
Nucleus at the center Nucleus near cell wall
PLANT CELL ANIMAL CELL
Let’s wrap it
up…
I. Identify the parts of plant cell and animal cell that is being described below.
mitochondria 1. It is the powerhouse of the cell.
vacuole 2. It stores water, food, or waste for the cells.
nucleus 3. It is where most of the activities of the cell is directed.
Cell membrane 4. The outer lining of the cell which encloses all other cell
organelles.
lysosomes 5. They break down the waste products and detoxify the cell.
