Cell Comparison“All in the Family”

Presented By:Landon Bryant

Cell Interior

A cell is like……….A cell is like a family,

it has many differentparts that each have unique and important tasks they must perform in order to function properly.

The Nucleus The Nucleus of the family is

the father, the father is the one who is in charge of most everything that occurs in the house.

Cell MembraneThe Cell Membrane is like

the mother, she controls what comes in an out of thefamily. She must approve something before it can enter into the family.

Cell WallThe Cell Wall is like the

walls of the families house.It provides structure and support and keeps the family safe and secure. The cell wallis what surrounds the entire cell, like the wallsof a house surround afamily.

Endoplasmic ReticulumThe Endoplasmic Reticulum

is like the hall ways of the families house. The hallways allow its residents to travel between one another and pass on information and energy.

Golgi ApparatusThe Golgi Apparatus is like

the families mailbox or message center, it sends out various items and information to other members.

MitochondrionAre like the power lines

going into the house.They provide energy forthe various other partsof the house (cell) to use.

VacuoleThe vacuole is like the

maid of the house, the maid cleans organizes and stores the items of the house.

Ribosome'sThe ribosome's are like

the kitchen of the family. They are were energy (food) is produced so it can be used by all parts of the family (cell).

Plant and Animal Cells

1. Plant Cells1. They have cell walls2. They use photosynthesis 3. Are typically green from

chlorophyll4. Contain a chloroplast

structure5. Are square from the cell

walls presence6. And have one large

central vacuole

1. Animal Cells1. Have a

Cytoskeleton2. Use cell respiration3. Typically

white/pink/red from the presence of blood

4. NO chloroplast5. No defined shape

(rounded edges)6. Many Small

Vacuoles

Plant and Animal Cells (CONT)Plant and Animal cells are similar in

structure but they function in slightly different ways, Some similarities between the two are

1. They both use a structure for support and to give them a shape.

2. And they both use Cell Respiration to produce energy.*PLANTS also use photosynthesis.
