Cell Organelles Parts of a cell

There are 2 types of cells Prokaryotic Cells – There is no nucleus – Ex: Bacteria Eukaryotic Cells – There is a nucleus Are you a prokaryote or Eukaryote? – YOU are a EUcaryote

Cell Organelles (Parts) 1. Nucleus - Controls the function of the cell Analogy – Principal, teacher, or boss 2. Mitochondria – Transforms energy for the cell (powerhouse) Analogy – Light bulbs Mighty Mitochondria

3. Vacuole Stores food and water for the cell Plants have LARGE vacuoles Analogy – Water bottles 4. Endoplasmic Reticulum Transports materials Analogy - Roads

5. Ribosomes Makes protein Analogy - Cafeteria Staff 6. Golgi Apparatus/Body Packages and ships proteins outside the cell Analogy - Post Office

7. Chloroplasts Make food for the plants by converting light energy to chemical energy Only in plant cells Analogy – Cafeteria 8. Lysosomes Throws out extra or undigested food Analogy – Garbage cans

9. Cell Membrane Allows nutrients and water into the cell by the process of diffusion Analogy - Security 10. Cell Walls Supports and protects Only in Plant cells Analogy – School building

Find the organelles Vacuole Plant or Animal Cell? Plant cell because it has chloroplasts, a large vacuole and a cell wall

Difference between an animal and plant cell Animal CellPlant Cell Does not have a Has a cell wall cell wall Does not have Have chloroplasts chloroplasts Have small Have large vacuoles vacuoles
