Eukaryotic Cell Structures

Eukaryotic Cells Eukaryotic cells more advanced cells Found in plants, animals, fungus and protists

outer boundary of the cell

Cytoplasm jelly-like fluid interior of the cell

Nucleus the "control center" of the cell, contains the cell's DNA (chromosomes)

Mitochondria Energy center or "powerhouse" of the cell. Turns food into useable energy (ATP)

The Nucleolus is contained in the Nucleus. The Nucleolus produces Ribosomes.  Nucleolus

Their function is to produce proteins by assembling amino acids according to instructions from RNA. Ribosomes

Golgi Apparatus Processes, packages and secretes proteins

Lysosome Contains digestive enzymes, breaks things down

Endoplasmic Reticulum Smooth ER Rough ER Materials move throughout the cell inside the ER, and proteins are produced on its surface. Parts of the ER without ribosomes Some parts of the ER contain many ribosomes on their surfaces, giving them a rough appearance.

They contain materials such as molecules and ions Their job is to transport these materials within the cell. Vesicle

Centrioles During mitosis, Centrioles help the Chromosomes line up. Centrioles are found close to the Nucleus.

Organelles- Plants ONLY! Uses sunlight to create food, photosynthesis (only found in plant cells) Chloroplast

Organelles- Plants ONLY! Cell Wall Provides additional support (plant and bacteria cells)

Organelles- Plants ONLY! Central Vacuole Stores water ad may contain many substances including ions, nutrients and wastes.

Locomotion Flagellum (plural, flagella) is a whip-like organelle that many unicellular organisms, and some multicellular ones, use to move about.

Locomotion Cilium (plural, cilia) Cilia beat with an oar-like motion The fine hair-like projections

Animal Cell

Plant Cell
