Cell Wall Cell Wall *Only in plant cells Organelle Function/Location Fun Facts Cell Wall *Only in plant cells *Makes plant cells rigid and protects them *Need it cause they get stepped on and don’t move to get away

Cell Membrane Cell Membrane Organelle Function/Location Fun Facts Cell Membrane *Inside cell wall in plant cells *Around the outside of animal cells *Lets things in and out of the cell through pores (tiny holes) *Window screen: Lets air in and keeps bugs out

Nucleus Nucleus Organelle Function/Location Fun Facts *In the center of plant and animal cells *Contains DNA which has genes that instruct the cell to make chemical structures that do things in the cell. *Cookbook (gives instructions to make food) *Manual (gives instructions to put something together.

Nuclear Membrane Nuclear Membrane *Surrounds the nucleus Organelle Function/Location Fun Facts Nuclear Membrane *Surrounds the nucleus *Lets things in and out of the nucleus through pores * Like a screen that only lets some things in/out

Mitochondria Mitochondria *Opposite of chloroplasts Organelle Function/Location Fun Facts Mitochondria *Opposite of chloroplasts *Plants go through CR in dark *Muscle cells have most *In all cells *Gives energy to cells *Cellular Respiration: Glucose + O2  Energy + CO2 + H2O

Chloroplast Chloroplast *Found mostly in green parts of plants Organelle Function/Location Fun Facts Chloroplast *Only in plant cells *Photosynthesis: light energy + CO2 + H2O  Glucose + O2 *Using light to make food *Found mostly in green parts of plants some in the flower part

Vacuole Vacuole *Holds water *Plants Organelle Function/Location Fun Facts Vacuole *Holds water *Plants if full = plants are happy and upright if empty = plants droop or wilt *Plants have 1 and its big *Animals have many & are small *Plants need it large to make food and cause they need to wait for rain!
