Squishling — Plant & Animal Cells Power Pack Plant
Hi!
I'm Squishling.
Welcome to Power Pack Plant!
Will you help me investigate plant & animal cells?
The Grumblies have mixed up our clues.
Let's check the evidence!
Plant and animal cells share structures such as membranes and cytoplasm.
Their similar needs do not make their structures identical.
Which structure do both diagrams show?
- A. A cell wall in every animal
- B. Cell membrane
- C. Chloroplasts in every animal cell
The answer is B: Cell membrane
Plant and animal cells share structures such as membranes and cytoplasm.
Their similar needs do not make their structures identical.
That clue helps us make sense of this place.
Plant cells have cell walls.
Many green plant cells have chloroplasts that use light in food production;
not every plant cell contains chloroplasts.
Which structure supports plant cells?
- A. Cell wall
- B. Only an animal skeleton inside each cell
- C. A bird's shell
The answer is A: Cell wall
Plant and animal cells share structures such as membranes and cytoplasm.
Their similar needs do not make their structures identical.
Hmm...
how does that connect to our first clue?
Our leaf-cell diagram shows wall and chloroplasts;
the animal-cell diagram does not.
Compare these selected features instead of assuming all plant tissues
look exactly like a green leaf.
What do chloroplasts help with?
- A. Pumping blood
- B. Making nerves
- C. Using light to make food
The answer is C: Using light to make food
Plant cells have cell walls.
Many green plant cells have chloroplasts that use light in food production;
not every plant cell contains chloroplasts.
Nice investigating!
