Animal Cell
Pros
Cons
Movement
Flexibility
Greater variety in shape
Very little storage of water, nutrients, waste- small vacuole
Less support , structure- no cell wall
Cannot make their own food
Plant Cell
Pros
Cons
Able to store water, nutrients waste- large vacuole
More support, protection, structure- cell wall
Can make their own food
Cannot move
Inflexible
Relies on sunlight/ weather for survival
Study Guide- Cell Organelles Structure & Function Name: _________KEY______________________________
You should be familiar with the following for the quiz:
List 3 differences between PLANT & ANIMAL cells.
Plant cell
Animal Cell
Contains Cell Wall around cell membrane
No Cell wall around cell membrane
Contains Chloroplast-site for photosynthesis
No Chloroplasts- No Photosynthesis required
Contain a larger vacuole for storage
Have smaller vacuole- not as much storage required
What is the difference between PROKARYOTIC & EUKARYOTIC cells?
Prokaryotic
Eukaryotic
Nucleus?
No Nucleus
Nucleus present
Organelles
No, with the exception of ribosomes
Yes, contain membrane bound organelles
Examples
Bacteria
Plant, Animal, Fungi, Protist
In the table below state the function of the given organelles and check mark for the type of cell they are found in.

Cell Wall
Provides structure and support to plant cells
Made up of cellulose
Surrounds cell membrane
