Cell Structures of animal

Plant and animal cells have many same parts. This chart shows parts that both kind of cells have.

Animal cell model

Cell structures of plants

Plant cells have some parts that animal cells do not have. They include the following: cell wall, chloroplasts, and chlorophyll

Plant cell model

Difussion

Osmosis

Is the movement of water particles throgh a membrane. Diffusion and Osmosis can stop, when there is an equal smount of substances. This balance is called equilibrum.

Particles of a substance move away from an area of high concentration. They move to an area of low concentration.

Photosynthesis and Respiration

• Plants and some other organisms use the Sun's energy to make food, this process is called photosynthesis. It takes place inside chloroplasts. There, chlorophyll takes in the Sun's energy. The energy changes carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

• Glucose is a type of sugar. The plant uses glucose for food. Oxygen is a waste product of photosynthesis. Oxygen gets released into the air.

Respiration and Fermentation

• Plants and animals get energy from glucose through Cellular respiration. In this process the mitochondria in cells break down glucose. The energy is released.
• Cellular respiration can be aerobic or anaerobic.
• Aerobic: cells use oxygen to break down glucose. And produce carbon dioxide and water. Plants can use these wastes during photosynthesis.
• Anaerobic: oxygen is not used, the most common form of this process is fermentation. Yogurt is made by fermentation.

Hands on Science!!!
