5. ACTIVITY : CELL TOUR
Directions: Study closely Figures 2 and 3. These are diagrammatic presentations of plant
and animal cells and their parts. Then, answer the questions below.
Figure 2. Parts of an animal cell Figure 3. Parts of a plant cell

6. ACTIVITY : FILL ME!
Directions: Compare and contrast plant and animal cell by filling in the Venn Diagram below. The common
organelles must be written in the overlapping area (A), while the differences are in the non-overlapping areas
(B & C). Use the words in box.
