Steps:

Review the animal and plant cell parts below. Look for what is similar and different
Answer the questions at the bottom of the page
Cell Parts

Cell Membrane
Encloses the cell
Keeps out harmful materials
Lets in materials the cell needs (water, nutrients, oxygen)

The lining around the cell

Nucleus
Directs the actions of the cell

The dark dots inside the cell

Mitochondria
takes in nutrients and uses them to produce energy for the cell to use to do things
There are often many mitochondria in a cell

6. What are plant cells able to do that animal cells can't do?
A. control its cell activities through the cell’s nucleus
​
B. Let materials it needs into the cell and waste out through the cell membrane
​

​
D. make its own food (sugar) in the chloroplasts
