Organelles “little organs”

Plasma Membrane Cell boundary Controls what enters & exits the cell

Cytoplasm Fluid inside cell Filled with enzymes & reactions

Nucleus Control center of cell Contains DNA & nucleolus Surrounded by nuclear envelope

Ribosome Makes proteins

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Extended transport system Makes lipids & proteins Can be rough or smooth

Golgi Packages & distributes cell products Creates packages called vesicles

Lysosome Vesicle filled with digestive enzymes Breaks down food & recycles cell parts

How the organelles work together

Vacuole Storage compartment Many small ones in animal cells 1 really large central vacuole in plants

Mitochondria Releases energy from food

Chloroplast Site of photosynthesis (light  food) Is a type of plastid (plant organelle)

Cell Wall Supports and protects Plant wall made of cellulose

Cytoskeleton Internal support Provides shape Animals have parts called centrioles

Cilia Short, hair-like projections Produce fast movement

Flagella Long, whip-like structures Found in both pro- and eukaryotes

Animal Cell

Plant Cell
