PLANT AND ANIMAL CELLS

Your Paper PartsFunction

Cell Theory: All organisms are made up of one or more cells. The cell is the basic unit of organization of all organisms. All cells come from other cells all ready in existence.

CELL WALL: PLANT Function: Gives the cell most of its support and structure A thick, rigid membrane that surrounds a plant cell PLANTS ONLY

CELL MEMBRANE Function: Semi permeable, allowing some substances to pass into the cell and blocking others. Thin layer of protein and fat that surrounds the cell BOTH PLANT AND ANIMAL

Chloroplast Function: Where photosynthesis takes place An elongated or disc-shaped organelle containing chlorophyll PLANTS ONLY

Cytoplasm Function: Where the organelles are located. The jellylike material outside the cell nucleus. BOTH

ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM Function: transports materials through the cell Rough ER is covered with ribosome's that give it a rough appearance BOTH PLANT AND ANIMAL

Golgi Bodies Function: Golgi bodies are the packaging house and secreting organelles of the cell. Are stacks of membrane-covered sacs that package and move proteins to the outside of the cell. BOTH PLANT AND ANIMAL

Lysosome Function: Where the digestion of cell nutrients takes place They contain digestive enzymes ANIMAL ONLY

Mitochondria Functions: Where energy is released; Powerhouse Spherical to rod-shaped organelles with a double membrane Membrane is in-folded many times, forming a series of projections (called cristae) BOTH PLANT AND ANIMAL

Nucleus: The Manager Function: Controls many of the functions of the cell Spherical body containing many organelles, including the nucleolus Contains DNA (in chromosomes) Surrounded by the nuclear membrane BOTH PLANT AND ANIMAL

Ribosome's Function: Small structures in the cytoplasm that create proteins. Ribosome's are either free floating in the cytoplasm of a cell or attached to endoplasmic reticulum in a cell. BOTH PLANT AND ANIMAL

Vacuole Function: Like your suitcase, a vacuole is a temporary storage space for the cell. Fluid-filled, membrane surrounded cavities inside a cell Fills with food being digested and waste material that is on its way out of the cell 1 in Plant- Several in Animal
