1. Plant vs. Animal Cell

2. Animal Cells Plant Cell Centrioles Cell wall Large central vacuole
Both: Nucleus, Mitochondria, Endoplasmic Reticulum, Golgi apparatus, vesicles, cytoskeleton
Plant Cell
Cell wall
Large central vacuole
Plastids
Animal Cells
Centrioles

4. Cell Wall
Structure: rigid layer of carbohydrates (cellulose) outside cell membrane
Function: support and protection

5. Central Vacuole Structure: Large, fluid-filled organelle Function:
Stores water, enzymes, metabolic wastes, and other materials
Allows plant to stand upright
Can make up 90% of the plant cell’s volume

6. Plastids What does this sound like? Structure Types of plastids:
Double membrane
Contain DNA
Types of plastids:
Chloroplast
Chromoplast
Amyloplasts
What does this sound like?

7. Chloroplast Structure:
Contains thylakoids (flattened, membranous sacs)
Thylakoids contain chlorophyll (molecule that absorbs light energy for the cell)
Function: Use light energy to make carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water = photosynthesis

8. Evolution of Plastids and Mitochondria = Endosymbiosis
