Parts of the Cell
Animal Cell Various Shapes Obtain Energy
Plant Cell Boxlike Photosynthesis Chlorophyll
Organelles Parts of the cell Cytoplasm- Fluid of the cell.
Nucleus Control center of the cell containing the DNA & Chromosomes. Humans have 46 chromosomes.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Highway system for moving information out of the nucleus.
Ribosomes Place where proteins are made.
Golgi Apparatus “Shipping & Receiving Center” Takes proteins from ribosome and ships them to the parts of the cell they are needed.
Lysosome “Cleanup Crew/Janitor” removes waste from the cell.
Vacuoles Storage unit Plants Cells- stores water
Mitochondria “Power Plant” makes the energy in animal cells Turns food into energy.
Chloroplast Only in Plant Cells. Collects sunlight in plants for photosynthesis.
