How do plants and animal cell differ? Chapter 2.5 How do plants and animal cell differ?

What is the difference between the plant and animal cells? 1. cell wall 2. vacuole 3. chloroplast

1. Cell wall CELL WALL- all plants have a cell wall. Animal cells do not have a cell wall. A cell wall surrounds the cell membrane of a plant cell. The cell wall is made up of a hard material called cellulose. Wood is made up mostly of cellulose. The cell wall has 3 jobs: protects the plant cell gives its shape supports the cell

2. Vacuoles VACUOLES- Plant cells have only one or two very large vacuoles. But animal cells have many small vacuoles. When it rains, plants will store water in vacuoles.

3. Chloroplasts CHLOROPLASTS- most plants have a green round organelle called chloroplast. Chloroplast has chlorophyll which gives a plant its green color. Plants use chlorophyll to make food from the sun. Animals have no chloroplasts.
