Animal and Plant cells

  Hello The internet! It's SuperSara with another blog about cells!!! Yay! Ok so this time we are going to talk about the difference between animal cells and plant cells. Even though they are both cells (duh!) there are still many differences between the two.There will be a video at the end (by yours truly) Ok,  I'll stop talking now and get to the point.

  Plant cells. The cell of a plant, obviously, but there's more to it than that. Plant cells have parts an animal cell doesn't have. First of all it has a cell wall. A cell wall is another layer of protection and is basically just a similarity to the cell membrane.

  Second of all, a plant cell has a much larger vacuole than an animal cell.

   Another difference is that Plant cells have a chloroplast. Chloroplasts have something called chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll is what makes leaves (and whatever else) green. In the fall, the chlorophyll goes into hybernation, which makes the leaves turn red. In the winter, the whole plant(leaf) dies, and so they fall off the trees.

   Plant cells make their own food using photosynthesis. Animal cells have to get their own food. 

Heres the Video!

Hope you had fun!
