**__ PLANT CELLS VS. ANIMAL CELLS  __** Plant cells and animal cells are alike and different in many ways. Both plant and animal cells have a nucleus, cytoplasm, and a cell membrane.

The cells are different because the plant cells have two extra parts. The extra parts are the cell wall and the chloroplasts. The chloroplast makes sugar (food) for the plant. The cell wall is extra protection for the cell. **__

VIEWING CELLS __**

Everybody says that you can’t view cells by the naked eye. They are right. You need a special material called a microscope. Scientists use microscopes to view small things. Since cells have incredibly small parts there is no choice. Microscopes are used throughout the world by many scientists. Just by looking at a cell through a microscope you can learn a lot of new facts. **__

CONCLUSION __** Whatever cells are doing they are always helping you one way or the other. Now that you know all these facts about cells don’t you think they are important?
