Plant Cells v. Animal Cells By Carrie Rossman

What is a cell? Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. The human body is composed of trillions of cells. They provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients from food, convert those nutrients into energy, and carry out specialized functions. Cells also contain the body’s hereditary material and can make copies of themselves.

What do Plant and animal cells have in common? PLANT CELLS ANIMAL CELLS

Match the Cell Organelle With Its Function Nucleus Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Apparatus Mitochondria Lysosomes Peroxisomes The brain, or control center of a eukaryotic cell. An organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane. Energy powerhouse of the cell. Important in the synthesis, folding, modification, and transport of proteins. Breaks down very long chains of fatty acids through beta-oxidation. A complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion and intracellular transport.
