The documents discuss and compare animal and plant cells. Animal cells contain a nucleus that controls cell reactions, a cell membrane that controls what enters and leaves the cell, and cytoplasm where chemical reactions occur. Plant cells contain these structures as well as a cell wall, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and a large central vacuole. The documents provide diagrams and descriptions of typical animal and plant cell structures to highlight their similarities and differences.

Plant cells vs. Animal cells
Both types of cell have these: Only plant cells
have these:
Cell wall – provides
support
Large Vacuole
– contains sap
Chloroplasts –
contain chlorophyll
Cell Membrane –
holds the cell
together
Cytoplasm -
this is where the
reactions happen
Nucleus –
The “brain” of
the cell
