What is a cell?
smallest unit of living organisms that is capable of performing life functions.
Cells can only be observed under microscope
All living things, including plants and animals, are made up of cells. Copyright © 2013, Mr. Hasan Al-Dika. All rights reserved

Simple Animal Cells
Simple Plant CellsCell wall
chloroplast
o Plant cell’s food factory
o Contain chlorophyll
Only in plant
A. Chloroplast
o Thick, stiff structure o Protects and supports
the plant cell

– holding bin for food, water and wastes.
– Plant: large central vacuole
– Animal: more and small

Differences between plant cells and animal cells
Animal cells Plant cellsRelatively smaller in
