Plant vs. Animal Cells
Complete the chart for Plant cells vs. Animal cells and then provide a list of what all cells have in the single chart.
Plant cells are eukaryotes that have a cell wall to provide it with additional structure and a rectangular shape, as well as, chloroplasts
to perform photosynthesis. Like animal cells they also have membrane bound organelles such as a nucleus, lysosome, endoplasmic
reticulum, mitochondria and Golgi body. Like all cells, plant cells have a cell membrane, ribosomes to make proteins and genetic
material (DNA).
Animal cells are eukaryotes that have no cell wall, thus giving them a rounded shape, or chloroplast that are used for photosynthesis.
Like plant cells they also have membrane bound organelles such as the nucleus, lysosome, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and
Golgi Body. Like all cells, animal cells have a cell membrane, ribosomes to make proteins and genetic material (DNA).

Cell Membrane
1. Label the parts of the cells membrane
(Lipid Bi-layer, Lipid, Protein Channel)

2. Explain why glucose molecules do not enter the
cell by simple diffusion.





3. How does glucose pass the cell membrane? (Use
the suggested vocabulary in your explanation:
facilitated diffusion, cell membrane, and protein
channels.)





4. Recall what is needed for active transport to move molecules from low to high concentration?




5. Is the picture below an example of active transport or passive transport? Explain your answer.


6. Choose the osmotic solution in each scenario from either isotonic, hypertonic and hypotonic:

Scenario 1- A cell is placed into a solution that has a lower
solute concentration.


Scenario 2- A cell is placed into a solution that has 15% more
solute.


Scenario 3- A cell is placed into a solution and does not
change in size.


Scenario 4- A cell is placed into a solution with a higher
concentration of water.

Scenario 5- A cell is placed into a solution with a 5% less
water concentration.

Scenario 6- A red blood cell is placed into water from
Galveston beach.


Scenario 7- A cell is placed into a solution and swells.


Scenario 8- A plant is watered with pure distilled water.


Scenario 9- A cell is placed into a solution and shrinks.


Scenario 10- A cell with 10% solute is placed into a 10%
solute concentration solution.
