Animal cells are made up of different organelles that work together to keep the cell functioning. Organelles include a nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and more. These cells are found in all multicellular organisms, such as plants and animals.

Cell Membrane: an outer layer made from a double layer of phospholipids that regulates what enters and exits the cell. Cytoskeleton: an internal network of protein filaments and tubules that gives the cell its shape and allows it to move. Organelles: small structures inside a cell that perform specific functions, like storing energy, breaking down food, and disposing of waste.

Animal cells contain structures called cilia, which are tiny hair-like projections that help the cell move. The nucleus of an animal cell is the only organelle that contains DNA. The plasma membrane of an animal cell is composed of lipids and proteins that regulate what enters and leaves the cell.

Question: What are the similarities and differences between plant and animal cells? Clues: • Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, animal cells do not. • Animal cells have centrioles and lysosomes, plant cells do not. • Both types of cells contain a nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, and a cell membrane. In pairs: Select and solve one of the tasks: A. Draw a diagram comparing and contrasting the structures of a plant and animal cell. B. Create a Venn diagram to illustrate the similarities and differences between plant and animal cells.
