Plant vs. Animal Cells

3a2| Buie's Biology

Animal Cells

Usually more "round" in shape
Does not have a cell wall
Does not have a chloroplast (cannot do photosynthesis)
May contain vacuoles, but are small

Plant Cells

Have a "boxy" shape
Contains chloroplasts (photosynthesis)
Contains a large central vacuole
Contains a cell wall (helps prevent water loss)

Plant & Animal Cell Structures

Mitochondria (energy)
Nucleus ("brain"; control center)
Cytoplasm (keeps organelles in place)
Cell Membrane (controls what enters/exits)
Ribosomes (makes proteins; found in prokaryotic cells too)
Vacuole (storage; will be smaller in animal cells)
Lysosomes ("clean up")
