Plant and
animal are built up of cells that are stuck together.
It is important that you know the structure of animal and plant cells and
are able to label the different parts. It is a favourite with examiners to have diagrams
of cells requiring labelling in exams

There are many similarities and differences between animal and plant cells.
Make sure you know these.
Similarities
Differences
1. Have a nucleus
2. Have a cytoplasm
4. Contain mitochondria
5. Contain ribosomes
5. Plant cells have the nucleus to the side of the cell, animal
cells have a nucleus in the middle
Cell Specialisation
Now we have established the general features of both animal and plant cells we must also
remember that many cells do look different and this is because they have their own
special jobs to do. These cells display specialised features that make them suited to carry
out their specific function.
Specific Function
Specialised Feature
Contain haemoglobin
which transports oxygen
to other cells and
around the body.
Have
biconcave
shape for maximum
surface area to allow
more oxygen to be
absorbed efficiently.
Biconcave
shape
also allows for a
flexible
framework
which means cells
can squeeze through
the
thinnest
of
capillaries.
Have no nucleus so
there is more room
for oxygen to be
carried in the cell and
hence around the
body.
The
head
is
streamlined also to
aid swimming
Sperm Cell
To fertilise the ovum
(female egg cell).
provide energy.
Nerve Cell
Transmit electrical
nerve impulses and so
carry information from
one part of the body to
another ie from receptor
to an effector.
Dendrites
extend
from the cell body to
make
connections
with other neurones.
Specific Function
Specialised Feature
Xylem Cell
Thin walls

Packed
with
chloroplasts
which
contain the light
absorbing pigment
chlorophyll.
Regular

closely packed cells

layer for efficient and
maximum absorption
of sunlight.
