DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PLANT CELLS AND ANIMAL CELLS
There are some similarties and differences between the two types of cells. Some of the major differences are that plants have a cell wall, because unlike animals who have skeletons, they need more support. They also have chloroplasts so that they can undergo photosynthesis to obtain food. They also have much larger vacuole to give more support to the plant.

FUNCTIONS OF ORGANELLES
Cell Wall: Is the outer layer of only plant cells, and is stiff and rigid to give support. It protects the plant cell and allows oxygen and water to pass through.
Cell Membrane: For plants, the cell membrane is on the inside of the cell wall, but for animal cells, it is the outer layer. It controls what comes in and goes out of the cell.
Nucleous: Is found in both animal and plant cells, is a rounded shape and is surrounded by the rest of the organelles. It the controls the cell's activities.
Cytoplasm: Is found in both types of cells, and is a clear, jelly-like substance. It is the home to cell's organelles.
Mitochondria: is found in both types of cells, and is bean-shaped with an inner membrane. It breaks down sugar molecules to create energy.
Endoplasmic Reticulum: Is found on both plant and animal cells. It is a network of folded tubes or membranes, and carries proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another.
Ribosomes: Are found in both types of cells and are small bodies floating free or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. They produce proteins.
Gologi Bodies: Are found in both types of cells and are flattened sacks or tubes. They receive proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum and packages them and then redistributes them.
Chloropasts: Are only found in plant cells, and a green, oval-shaped structures usually containing chlorophyll. They capture energy from sunlight and uses the process called photosythesis to create food.
Vacuoles: Are found in both types of cells and are fluid-filled sacks, which are storage areas for cells.
Lysosmes: Usually found in only animal cells, and are small, round structures that use chemicals to break down large food particles inot smaller ones, then breaks down old cells.
