ANIMAL AND PLANT CELLS CELLS – The building blocks of all living things. Only visible with a microscope!
PLANT and ANIMAL CELL Pictures:
CELL WALL Picture: Rigid, tough, made of cellulose Protects and supports the cell PLANT
CELL MEMBRANE Pictures: Thin, covering, protects cells. Plant Animal Cell: Thin, covering, protects cells. Protects the cell, performs active transport and passive transport, moves materials in and out of the cell. PLANT AND ANIMAL
CYTOPLASM Picture: Jelly like substance that contains organelles Pads and supports organelles inside the cell. PLANT AND ANIMAL
NUCLEUS Picture: Powerhouse of the Cell – “THE BIG KAHOONA” Dense, ball shaped structure, contains DNA Controls ALL of the cell’s activities PLANT AND ANIMAL
NUCLEAR MEMBRANE Picture: Thin covering over the nucleus Covers and protects the nucleus PLANT AND ANIMAL
NUCLEOLUS Picture: Small dark area in the nucleus Produces ribosome’s PLANT AND ANIMAL
CHROMATIN Picture: In the nucleus, made of DNA and protein, contains genes Provides instructions for the cells activities, (growth, reproduction) PLANT AND ANIMAL
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM – (ER) Clear, tubular system of tunnels throughout the cell Transports materials like proteins around the cell PLANT AND ANIMAL Smooth ER: Rough ER: Difference: Contains Ribosomes (Dots on Rough ER)
RIBOSOMES Picture: Small specks made of RNA. Found in cytoplasm or on the rough endoplasmic reticulum Makes proteins PLANT AND ANIMAL
“MIGHTY MITOCHONDRIA” Location in the cytoplasm, bean shaped Supplies energy or ATP for the cell through cell respiration using glucose and oxygen PLANT AND ANIMAL Picture:
VACUOLE Picture: In Plant Cell: In Animal Cell: Large open storage area, smaller in animal cells Storage tank for food, water, wastes or enzymes PLANT AND ANIMAL
CHLOROPLAST Picture: Green structures that contain chlorophyll Captures sunlight and uses it to produce food through Photosynthesis What is Photosynthesis? PLANT
GOLGI BODY Picture: Small bags with tubes connecting them Packages proteins for use in and out of the cell PLANT AND ANIMAL
LYSOSOME Picture: In Plant Cell: In Animal Cell: Small, round structures, containing enzymes Digests older cell parts, food or other objects PLANT AND ANIMAL
CYTOSKELETON Picture: A web of proteins Magnified: A web of proteins Acts as both a muscle and a skeleton Keeps the cell’s membrane from collapsing. PLANT AND ANIMAL
