Plant Cells

• plant can use light for photosynthesis
• plant cells have a regular shape unlike animal cells that can easily change their shape
• plant cells are packed with green structures
• similar structures between plant and animals cells

  nucleus

  cytoplasm

  cell membrane

  mitochondria

  ribosomes
• differences between plant and animal cells

  plant cells have chloroplasts

  plant cells have cell walls

  plant cells have a permanent vacuole
• chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and are the sites of photosynthesis
• plant cell walls contain cellulose that strengthens the cells
• algae plant under a microscope

  they are a simple form of plant life

  
• permanent vacuole is filled with a fluid called cell sap giving the cell its shape
• differences between plant and animal cells
