Cell Organelles

Parts of a cell

There are 2 types of cells

Prokaryotic Cells– There is no nucleus– Ex: Bacteria

Eukaryotic Cells– There is a nucleus

Are you a prokaryote or Eukaryote?– YOU are a EUcaryote

Cell Organelles (Parts)

1. Nucleus - Controls the function of the cell Analogy – Principal, teacher, or boss

2. Mitochondria – Transforms energy for the cell (powerhouse) Analogy – Light bulbs Mighty Mitochondria

3.Vacuole Stores food and water for the cellPlants have LARGE vacuolesAnalogy – Water bottles

4.Endoplasmic Reticulum Transports materials Analogy - Roads

5. Ribosomes Makes protein Analogy - Cafeteria Staff

6. Golgi Apparatus/Body Packages and ships proteins outside the

cell Analogy - Post Office

7. Chloroplasts Make food for the plants by converting light

energy to chemical energy Only in plant cells Analogy – Cafeteria8. Lysosomes Throws out extra or undigested food Analogy – Garbage cans

9. Cell Membrane Allows nutrients and water into the cell by the

process of diffusion Analogy - Security10. Cell Walls Supports and protects Only in Plant cells Analogy – School building

Find the organelles

Vacuole

Plant or Animal Cell?

Plant cell because it has chloroplasts, a large vacuole and a cell wall

Difference between an animal and plant cell

Animal Cell Plant Cell Does not have a Has a cell wall

cell wall Does not have Have chloroplasts

chloroplasts Have small Have large vacuoles

vacuoles
