Presentation Transcript

  1. Plant vs. Animal Cell

  2. Both: Nucleus, Mitochondria, Endoplasmic Reticulum, Golgi apparatus, vesicles, cytoskeleton

  3. Cell Wall • Structure: rigid layer of carbohydrates (cellulose) outside cell membrane • Function: support and protection

  4. Central Vacuole • Structure: Large, fluid-filled organelle • Function: • Stores water, enzymes, metabolic wastes, and other materials • Allows plant to stand upright • Can make up 90% of the plant cell’s volume

  5. Plastids • Structure • Double membrane • Contain DNA • Types of plastids: • Chloroplast • Chromoplast • Amyloplasts What does this sound like?

  6. Chloroplast • Structure: • Contains thylakoids (flattened, membranous sacs) • Thylakoids contain chlorophyll (molecule that absorbs light energy for the cell) • Function: Use light energy to make carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water = photosynthesis

  7. Evolution of Plastids and Mitochondria = Endosymbiosis
