1. PLANT vs. ANIMAL CELLS Shannon Muskopf, Anacharis, September 9, 2009, via Flicker, Attribution-Noncommercial license Shannon Muskopf, Cheek Cell, September 6, 2009,Via Flicker, Attribution-Noncommercial license

2. IN GENERAL Structure and Location Cells are dynamic Cells allow life Cells: basic building blocks of life

3. DYNAMIC CELL LOCATION=JOB The stems purpose is transportation Cells in the stem are elongated BlueRidgeKittes, Corn Section, 3-11-2010 via flicker, Attribution-NonCommerical-shareAlike

4. The leaf has two main purposes. Stomata control water loss Photosynthesis produce food for the plant. Chloroplasts are where photosynthesis takes place.

5. DYNAMIC CELL LOCATION=JOB Purpose of the root is storage Sugar is stored as food There are lots of open spaces Ah Pao, Dicot Root, 9-20-2010, via flicker, Attribution-nonCommerical-share alike

6. CELL STRUCTURE The Nucleus is in plants and animals The Nucleus stores DNA The Science Floor, Garlic Root Cells, 1-28-2008, via flicker, Attribution-NonCommerical Ribosome Ribosome are in Plants and Animals Ribosomes synthesize Proteins Xevi V, Ultraestructurad’unacel-lula animal, march 14, 2009, via flicker, Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike

7. Cell Structure Rough ER Ribosomes The Endoplasmic Reticulum(ER) is in both The Rough ERsynthesizes protiens The Smooth ER: synthesizes, breaks down and creates Lipids Xevi V, Ultraestructurad’unacel-lula animal, march 14, 2009, via flicker, Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Smooth ER

8. CELL STRUCTURE Golgi Apparatus processes information Nicknamed the "Post Office” Mitochondriaproduces energy Nicknamed the “power plant” Xevi V, Ultraestructurad’unacel-lula animal, march 14, 2009, via flicker, Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Golgi Apparatus Mitochondria

9. QUESTION? What is the purpose of the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum? A- Store DNA B- Synthesize Proteins C- Process, creates, breaks down Lipids D- Process and distribute

10. PLANT CELL STRUCTURE Chloroplasts are found only in plants They are the location of Photosynthesis Photosynthesis produces food for the plant The Vacuole is found only in plants It stores waste and water Shannon Muskopf, Anacharis, September 9, via flicker, 2009, Attribution-Noncommercial license

11. ANIMAL CELL STRUCTURE Lysosomes are found only in animals They are nicknamed the “garbage disposal” They're similar to vacuoles in plants. Differences are size, numbers, and storage Xevi V, Ultraestructurad’unacel-lula animal, march 14, 2009, via flicker, Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike

12. Outer LAYER Phospholipid bilayer Animal Cells only have a Membrane Nicknamed “bouncer” Membranesregulate movement in and out Plants have Mem- branes and walls.

13. Purpose Plants and animals rely on each other Plants need Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Animals need Oxygen (O2) Plants create Oxygen during Photosynthesis Animals create Carbon Dioxide during Cellular Respiration

14. QUESTION What cellular process produces O2? A- Plant and animal cellular respiration B- Photosynthesis in plants C- Photosynthesis in animals D-Cellular respiration in animals only
