Chloroplast Mitochondrion Cell Membrane Cytoplasm Nuclear Membrane Cell Wall VacuoleRibosome Endoplasmic Reticulum Nucleolus Nucleus Chromatin Golgi Body Back to Beginning End

Where ribosomes are created DNA information is copied here The prominent structure in the nucleus References: Back To Plant Cell Back to Animal Cell

A series of membrane channels Forms a tubular network throughout the cell Transports chemicals within cells Reference: Back To Plant Cell Back to Animal Cell

Fluid environment of the cell All other cell organelles reside in cytoplasm Full of proteins that control cell metabolism Reference: Back To Plant Cell Back to Animal Cell

Hereditary information Composed of long thin strands of DNA Contains instructions that control heredity and cell metabolism Reference: Back To Plant Cell Back to Animal Cell

Modifies chemicals to make them functional Prominent in cells that secrete cell products like mucus Secretes chemicals in tiny vesicles. Reference: Back To Plant Cell Back to Animal Cell

Controls what substances came into and out of the cell Acts as a boundary layer to contain cytoplasm A fat layer between two protein layers that encloses cells Reference: Back To Plant Cell Back to Animal Cell

Produces protein Doesn’t have a membrane around it Break into two different parts when not producing protein Reference: Back To Plant Cell Back to Animal Cell

Rigid structure of nonliving material surrounding the cell membrane Provides protection from injury Made of cellulose Only in plant cells Reference: Back To Plant Cell

Ribosome Cytoplasm Centrosome Cell Membrane Golgi Body Vacuole Mitochondrion Endoplasmic Reticulum Chromatin Back to Beginning End Nuclear Membrane Nucleolus Lysosome

“Power house” of the cell Shape varies, but is the size of bacteria Gives energy to cell to move and divide REFERENCE Cytology and History: Cells and Tissues Classroom Consorta Back To Plant Cell Back to Animal Cell

Help in cell reproduction Two centrosomes are perpendicular Separate in own centrosomes to separate cell REFERENCE Cytology and History: Cells and Tissues Classroom Consorta Back to Animal Cell

Organelle containing enzymes In animal cells, but not often in plant Breaks down food particles REFERENCE Cytology and History: Cells and Tissues Classroom Consorta Back to Animal Cell

Membrane envelope of nucleus “Perforated by Nuclear Pore complexes” Controls the molecules in and out of nucleus REFERENCE Cytology and History: Cells and Tissues Classroom Consorta Back To Plant Cell Back to Animal Cell

Center of cell Power house directs all cell activity Provides cell with “unique characteristics” REFERENCE Cytology and History: Cells and Tissues classroom Consorta Back To Plant Cell Back to Animal Cell

In both, but bigger in plants Stores waste and water It creates turgor pressure when full of water REFERENCE Cytology and History: Cells and Tissues classroom Consorta Back To Plant Cell Back to Animal Cell

Only in plants Contain chlorophyll giving green color Makes food for the plants REFERENCE Cytology and History: Cells and tissues Classroom Consorta Back To Plant Cell

Plant Cell Both Animal Cell Have Chloroplasts Cell Wall Larger Vacuoles Lysosome Centrosome Smaller Vacuoles Make up living things Have eleven other organelles, such as the mitochondrion, endoplasmic reticulum, and golgi bodies Back to Beginning End
