Just like our school, the cell has different “offices” in charge of “offices” in charge of different jobs

Organelle notes

• These ‘offices’ are called organelles

• Organelles: tiny structures that carry out a specific function (job) within the cell

Differences between

Plant and Animal Cells

PLANT CELLS• Square or “boxy”

• Have a cell wall

ANIMAL CELLS

• Round

• No cell wall• Have a cell wall

• Have chloroplasts

• Large vacuoles

• Usually green (because of the

chlorophyll)

• No lysosomes

• No cell wall

• No chloroplasts

• Small vacuoles

• Have lysosomes
