Two Basic Types of Cells Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic

7.2 Notes: Two Types of Eukaryotic Cells Organelles and their functions Animal Cells

Plant Cells

Cell or Plasma Membrane “bilayer” Function: Regulates materials entering and leaving the cell Found in: Both

Cytoplasm “Jelly Fluid” Function: Surrounds and protects the organelles Found in: Both

Lysosome “Recycle Centers” Function: Breaks down and recycles cell parts Found in: Both

Cytoskeleton “Weblike” Function: Helps maintain cell shape Found in: Both

Golgi Apparatus or Bodies “Stack of Soggy Pancakes” Function: Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids. Found in: Both

Centriole “Salt and Pepper” Function: Organize cell division Found in: Animal Only

Nucleus “Control Center” Function: Contains DNA, controls cell activities. Found in: Both

Nucleolus “Mini Control Center” Function: Makes Ribosomes Found in: Both

Mitochondrion “Power Plant” Function: Converts food into energy. Found in: Both

Ribosomes (On Rough ER and Free) “Rib-O-Somes” Rough on ER Function: Makes Proteins. Found in: Both

Endoplasmic Reticulum “ER” Function: Assembles proteins & lipids then transports. Chemical Reactions. Found in: Both

Chloroplast “Green Beans” Function: Converts sunlight into food. Found in: Plants only.

Cell Wall “The Wall” Function: Supports and protects. Found in: Only Plants.

Vacuole “eggs and toast” In animal & Plant Cells Only in Plants Function: Storage; Large in Plants stores water. Found in: Small in Both; Large only Plants

Main differences between Plant and Animal Cells: Found only in Plant Cells: Cell Wall Chloroplast Large Vacuole Found Only in Animal Cells: 1. Centrioles
