Plant cell Animal Cell

A cell is like a motor because a motor takes smaller components to operate

The nucleus is like pistons because they control the strokes of an engine like the nucleus controls the cell

The cell membrane is like an EGR valve because it regulates old exhaust like a cell membrane regulates materials

The cell wall is like an engine block because it is the motors structure like a plant wall is for a plant cell

Endoplasmic reticulum is like fuel lines because they are passages for gasoline like endoplasmic reticulum are passages for protein

Golgi apparatus is like a fuel pump because it ships gas through the lines

Mitochondrion is like a crankshaft because it helps turn the motor and give it power

Vacuole is an oil pan because it holds waste like an oil pan holds used oil

Ribosome is like a spark plug because it provides fire to the motor like a ribosome produces proteins

Comparison of plant and animal cells

Plant cells

• Have cell walls• Have chloroplast• Does photosynthesis and cellular respiration• Is square due to rigid square wall• Have chlorophyll (which makes it green)• Have one large central vacuole

Animal cells

• Have cytoskeletons • Don’t have chloroplast• Does cellular respiration• Can be any shape (rounded)• White/ pink (blood) • Many small vacuoles
