Plant and animal cells.

PLANTS AND ANIMALS ARE MADE UP OF MANY


CELLS.
ARE PLANT AND ANIMAL CELLS ARE ALIKE?
HOW CAN WE DIFFERENTIATE ONE FROM
ANOTHER?
PLANT CELLS HAVE RECTANGULAR SHAPE.AN
ANIMAL CELL IS IRREGULAR AND ROUND IN SHAPE.
A typical plant cell.

► A typical plant cell has some basic parts.


Cytoplasm.
► It is jelly like and contains other
cell parts such as nucleus and
chloroplast. New materials are
constantly being made and broken
down in cytoplasm.Due to large
vacuole the cytoplasm of plant cell
is reduced to a thin lining.
Nucleus.
► Nucleus controls all the activities of
the cell, including cell repair.it
contains thread like structures called
chromosomes which are made of
DNA(deoxyribonucleic acid)and
proteins. Genes are parts of the
chromosomes which store
information to be passed down from
generation to next.
A chromosome is a long DNA
molecule with part or all of the
genetic material of an organism. 
Cell membrane.
► It is partially permeable.(Partial--a part),permeable (having pores , allow
liquid or gas to pass through it))
► It is selective .allow some material to pass through it.
vacuole

► Filled with cell sap.it contains


substances sugar and mineral
salts dissolved in water.it keeps
the cell firm by taking in
water..
► In plant cell single large
vacuole is found.
Cell wall
► The cell wall is an outer protective membrane in
many cells including plants, fungi, algae, and bacteria.
Animal cells do not have a cell wall. The main functions of
the cell wall are to provide structure, support, and protection for
the cell. The cell wall in plants is composed mainly of cellulose and
contains three layers in many plants.
