1. Plants vs. Animal Cells

2. All Cells All cells have three basic components: 1. Cell Membrane
Nucleus
Cytoplasm
Animal Cells have similarities to plant cells, but are different in a few ways.
Let’s look:

3. Plant vs. Animal

4. Plant Cells
Plant cells contain many of the same organelles you would find in an animal cell with the exception:
Cell Walls
Chloroplasts

5. Cell Wall Cell Walls are only found in plant cells.
Cell walls are rigid structures made of cellulose (basically wood).
Cell Walls perform the following:
1. Protect the cell
2. Give the cell a strong shape
3. Provide support for the cell

6. Cell Walls

7. Chloroplast
Chloroplast is essentially what makes a plant cell a plant cell.
Chloroplasts are filled with chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll creates food from solar energy for the plants
It also gives plants their green color.

8. Chloroplasts

9. Conclusion All cells have: Cell membrane Nucleus cytoplasm
Plant Cells have:
Chloroplasts
Cell Wall
