Can you find some similarities???? KEY CONCEPT Eukaryotic cells share many similarities. Plant Cell Animal Cell Can you find some similarities????
Like your body, eukaryotic cells are highly organized structures.
How can we compare the cell membrane to our skin? Cell membrane: receives messages from other cells Separates interior material from outside environment Selectively permeable (only certain things can move in an out) How can we compare the cell membrane to our skin?
The cytoskeleton is made of small protein subunits that form long threads, or fibers, that crisscross the ENTIRE cell.
How can we compare the Cytoskeleton to our human Skeleton? provides strength helps position and transport organelles assists in cell division supports and shapes cell How can we compare the Cytoskeleton to our human Skeleton?
The nucleus stores genetic information or DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
The nucleolus is a dense region where tiny organelles essential for making proteins are assembled Nuclear envelope
There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum. rough endoplasmic reticulum Have bumps called ribosomes which link amino acids together to form proteins
Makes lipids and performs smooth endoplasmic reticulum Makes lipids and performs specialized functions such as breaking down drugs and alcohol.
Golgi apparatus- processes, sorts, and delivers proteins to different parts of the cell Ex: like a post office
Vesicles transport materials from place to place within the cell Vesicles transport materials from place to place within the cell. Separate chemicals from each other until they are going to be used in a chemical reaction Ex: Mailman
Mitochondria supply energy to the cell. Chemical reactions take place that convert the molecules you eat into usable energy
Vacuoles hold materials needed by the cell such as water, food molecules, ions, and enzymes Plant cell Animal cell
Lysosomes contain enzymes to digest material Lysosomes contain enzymes to digest material. They are like trash compactors. They also defend the cell from invading bacteria and viruses.
Centrioles help divide DNA between splitting animal cells (mitosis and meiosis). They also form cilia (hair-like structures) and flagella (tail-like structures). *only in animal cells
A cell wall gives shape to the cell and provides protection A cell wall gives shape to the cell and provides protection. Connect together to support the entire organism. *Only in plants
Chloroplasts convert solar energy to chemical energy Chloroplasts convert solar energy to chemical energy. They carry out photosynthesis *Only in plants
