PLANT AND ANIMAL CELLS
Your PaperParts Function
Cell Theory:
• All organisms are made up of one or more cells.
• The cell is the basic unit of organization of all organisms.
• All cells come from other cells all ready in existence.
CELL WALL: PLANT
• Function: Gives the cell most of its support and structure
• A thick, rigid membrane that surrounds a plant cell
• PLANTS ONLY
CELL MEMBRANE
• Function:Semi permeable, allowing some substances to pass into the cell and blocking others.
• Thin layer of protein and fat that surrounds the cell BOTH PLANT AND
ANIMAL
Chloroplast
• Function: Where photosynthesis takes place
• An elongated or disc-shaped organelle containing chlorophyll
• PLANTS ONLY
Cytoplasm• Function:
Where the organelles are located.
• The jellylike material outside the cell nucleus.
• BOTH
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
• Function:transports materials through the cell
• Rough ER is covered with ribosome's that give it a rough appearance
• BOTH PLANT AND ANIMAL
Golgi Bodies• Function:
Golgi bodies are the packaging house and secreting organelles of the cell.
• Are stacks of membrane-covered sacs that package and move proteins to the outside of the cell.
• BOTH PLANT AND ANIMAL
Lysosome• Function:
Where the digestion of cell nutrients takes place
• They contain digestive enzymes
• ANIMAL ONLY
Mitochondria• Functions:
Where energy is released; Powerhouse
• Spherical to rod-shaped organelles with a double membrane
• Membrane is in-folded many times, forming a series of projections (called cristae)
BOTH PLANT AND ANIMAL
Nucleus:The Manager• Function:
Controls many of the functions of the cell
• Spherical body containing many organelles, including the nucleolus
• Contains DNA (in chromosomes)
• Surrounded by the nuclear membrane
BOTH PLANT AND ANIMAL
Ribosome's• Function:
Small structures in the cytoplasm that create proteins.
• Ribosome's are either free floating in the cytoplasm of a cell or attached to endoplasmic reticulum in a cell.
BOTH PLANT AND ANIMAL
Vacuole• Function:
Like your suitcase, a vacuole is a temporary storage space for the cell.
• Fluid-filled, membrane surrounded cavities inside a cell
• Fills with food being digested and waste material that is on its way out of the cell
