mitochondria Cell membrane Golgi nucleus vesicle

If you zoomed in further... around the nucleus you could see the rough ER, Smooth ER and Nuclear pores

Vacuole Mitochondria Chloroplast Cell Wall Cell membrane Golgi Nucleus

How can you tell what the vacuole is? Large, often clear, structure What ultrastructures in the plant cell could you also see in prokaryote? Cell membrane and cell wall (prokaryote cell wall would be made of peptidoglycan while the Plant cell is made of cellulose)

Structure Function Cells will have specialized shapes that enable the cell to perform its specific function better. For example: Small intestine villus cell Gland secreting cell Photosynthetic plant cell Neuron cell

Exocrine Cell What structures does the cell type have that are a clue to its function? Label structures in notes. The exocrine cells secrete digestive enzymes that ultimately go to small intestine to help breakdown the food we eat. These enzymes (all enzymes) are PROTEINS so our exocrine cell has to have organelles that can help it to make a large amount of proteins (protein synthesis). In order to do this it needs to be able to synthesize proteins, process them, transport and release. The structures involved in this include: Mitochonrion, lysosomes, Ribosomes, Rough ER, Golgi, Nucleus, Vesicles, Plasma membrane.

Exocrine Cell Has a nucleus -Eukaryotic No cell wall- Animal Has Mitochondria and Rough RER- has energy and ability to make proteins Lots of secretory vesicles- Likely secreting protein products (like enzymes) The exocrine cells secrete digestive enzymes that ultimately go to small intestine to help breakdown the food we eat. These enzymes (all enzymes) are PROTEINS so our exocrine cell has to have organelles that can help it to make a large amount of proteins (protein synthesis). In order to do this it needs to be able to synthesize proteins, process them, transport and release. The structures involved in this include: Mitochondrion, lysosomes, Ribosomes, Rough ER, Golgi, Nucleus, Vesicles, Plasma membrane.

Palisade Mesophyll Cell What structures does the cell type have that are a clue to its function? Label structures in notes. Primary function of a leaf is photosynthesis (taking inorganic molecules and making organic compounds)

Palisade Mesophyll Cell Cell Wall and vacuole- must be a plant Chloroplast- must be responsible for photosynthesis Must be a leaf cell (roots don’t do photosynthesis) Primary function of a leaf is photosynthesis (taking inorganic molecules and making organic compounds)
