Plant and Animal Cells

Activity 12 (By Group)
Objectives:
1. identify parts of the cell;
2. describe plant and animal cells;
3. differentiate plant cells from animal cells;
4. construct a Venn Diagram to show parts that are common to both and parts that are only found in
either plant or animal cells.

Material:

 Sheet of paper
 Ball pen or pencil
 Illustrations in Figures 1 and 2

Procedure:

1. Study closely Figures 1 and 2. These are diagrammatic presentations of plant and animal cells and
their parts.

Figure 1: Plant Cell

Figure 2: Animal Cell

2. Compare the shape of a plant cell with that of an animal cell as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
3. Identify which cell parts are found in both cells.
4. Identify which are present only in animal cells.
5. Identify which are present only in plant cells.
 6. Using the information you have gathered from Figures 1 and 2, construct a Venn diagram of plant and
animal cells on a sheet of paper. Label the overlapping and non-overlapping areas. See Venn Diagram
sample below. Write this in a manila paper and your chosen reporter will report your Venn diagram to
the class.

Guide Questions:
Based on your observations and study of plant and animal cells, cite differences and
similarities between them.
