Activity No. 1
I. Compare the animal and the plant cell using the following parts/areas:

Areas/Characteristics/Parts Animal Cell Plant Cell

Size 10–20 μm in diameter Plant cells are between 10 and 100
micrometers long

Presence/absence of Plastids They are absent in an animal cell. They can be found all over in plants
and other photosynthetic
organisms.
Size of vacuoles Small-sized vacuoles.

Position of Nucleus In the central region of the cell More on the periphery

Presence/absence of centrioles Centrioles are absent from the In all higher plant cells, centrioles
cells of higher plants. are absent.

Presence of lysosomes Present Do not exist within plant cells

Form of reserved food Glycogen Starch

Amino Acid Synthesis inorganic

nitrogen

Nature of Spindle fibers Centrioles Microtubules

formation

Presence of Glyoxysomes Absent Present

II. Direction: Under each type of cell write YES if the cell structure is present and NO if absent.

Cell Structure Prokaryotic Cell Typical Animal Eukaryotic Cell

Cell Membrane YES YES
Cell Wall YES YES
Centrioles NO YES
Chromosomes YES YES
Cilia or Flagella YES YES
Endoplasmic Reticulum NO YES
Nucleus NO YES
Lysosomes NO YES
Golgi Apparatus NO YES

III. Fill in the boxes with the required information. Indicate the order of their occurrence in the field of
cell theory (with no. 1 being the first and no. 4 as the last)

I. Answer the following:

1. Which has more golgi bodies, animal cell or plant cell? Why is there a difference in the number
of these structures in each cell type?

2. Why do plant cells have bigger vacuoles than animal cells?
