Question

plant vs. animal cells: label the organelles in both the plant and animal cell models

1. what organelles differ between plant and animal cells?
2. what do the presence of these organelles suggest about specific processes that plant cells are capable of?
3. review your \how do cells carry out the life processes\ chart. know the function of each organelle and the life processes it is associated with.

Explanation:

1. Plant cells have cell walls, chloroplasts and large central vacuoles which animal cells lack. Cell walls provide structure, chloroplasts are for photosynthesis and large vacuoles for storage.
2. The presence of cell - walls suggests plants can maintain a rigid structure. Chloroplasts indicate plants can perform photosynthesis to produce food from sunlight, carbon - dioxide and water. Large central vacuoles suggest plants can store more water and nutrients.
3. Each organelle has a specific function. For example, mitochondria are for energy production (cellular respiration), ribosomes for protein synthesis, etc.

Answer:

1. Cell wall, chloroplast, large central vacuole.
2. Cell wall: structural support; Chloroplast: photosynthesis; Large central vacuole: storage of water and nutrients.
3. Review the chart to know organelle functions and associated life - processes.
