MODULE 2 PLANT AND

ANIMAL CELLS
Objectives:
 Differentiate plant and animal cells according to presence
and absence of certain organelles;
 Explain why cell is considered the basic structural and
functional unit of all organisms;
 Identify the parts of a microscope
 Focus specimens using the compound microscope
 Comparing Plant and Animal Cells
Objectives:
 Identify the parts of the cell
 Describe plant and animal cells
 Differentiate plant and animal cells
 Construct a VENN diagram to show parts that
are common to both and parts that are only
found in either plant or animal cells.
Parts of a Plant
and Animal Cell
and Its function
Cells got their name from an
Englishman named Robert Hooke
in the year 1665. He first saw and
named "cells" while he was
experimenting with a new
instrument we now call a
"microscope."
The average adult
human body has
around 37.2 trillion
cells.

 CELL
A cell has three basic
parts: nucleus,
plasma membrane
and cytoplasm
FUNCTION
 “Semi permeable”
 Also known as plasma membrane
 Encloses the cell and separate what is inside
it and from its environment.
 It controls what goes into and out of the
cells.
 It allows entry of materials needed by the
cell and eliminate those which are not
needed.
CELL WALL
FUNCTION
Found ONLY in plant cell.
Made of stiff material that forms
the outermost part of the cells.
Give shape and protection.
Made up of cellulose.
NUCLEUS
FUNCTION
 Brain of the cell.
 Control all the activities of the
other parts of the that occur in
within the cell.
 It contains genetic materials that
play a role in heredity (DNA).
 Largest organelle.
CYTOPLASM
FUNCTION
 Consist of a jelly –like substance
where all the other parts of the cell
are located.
 Many activities of the cell occur in
cytoplasm.
 Contains mostly of water.
