Eukaryotic Cell Structure and Function Animal and Plant Cells
Essential Questions How does a cell function? How do materials the cell needs get into the cell? What are the 3 most important organelles and what do they do?
Eukaryotic Cell Structure Cell membrane – membrane that surrounds cell and separates outer from inner. Nucleus – internal compartment of cell that houses cell’s DNA Organelles – structures in a cell that carry out specific jobs for cell. Cytoplasm – the jelly-like fluid where the organelles “float.” www.nerdscience.com
Cytoskeleton Cytoskeleton – network of protein filaments( microtubules) in cytoplasm. help cell maintain shape, move, and move organelles. help with cell division www.nerdscience.com

Inside the Nucleus Nuclear Envelope – membrane that surrounds the nucleus. Chromatin – consists of DNA wrapped around proteins. Chromosomes – condensed string-like structure that forms from DNA just before the cell divides. Nucleolus – structure within the nucleus that makes ribosomes.

Ribosomes – made of RNA and protein. Make Proteins! www.nerdscience.com
Ribosomes Ribosome www.nerdscience.com
Small, membrane-bound sac that transports substances in cells Vesicle Small, membrane-bound sac that transports substances in cells Some become lysosomes
Vesicle vesicle
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Endoplasmic reticulum – internal membrane system of the cell that moves proteins and other substances. Rough ER – has ribosomes, makes proteins Smooth ER – no ribosomes, makes lipids, and breaks down toxins www.nerdscience.com

Golgi Apparatus – modifies, sorts, and packages proteins. like UPS www.nerdscience.com
Golgi Apparatus Golgi Apparatus www.nerdscience.com
Lysosomes – small organelles filled with enzymes. Digest molecules and old cell parts to be used by the cell www.nerdscience.com
Mitochondria Mitochondria – converts chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use. “Powerhouse of the Cell!” Makes energy (ATP). Has own DNA www.nerdscience.com

Plant Cells – 3 features Animal cells don’t have.
Central Vacuole Central Vacuole – large, space; stores water and other substances such as ions, nutrients, and wastes. www.nerdscience.com
Central Vacuole Vacuoles www.nerdscience.com
Chloroplasts Chloroplasts – organelles that capture light energy from sunand convert it into chemical energy. (Photosynthesis) Found only in plants, algae, and some bacteria. Has own DNA. www.nerdscience.com
Chloroplasts Chloroplast www.nerdscience.com
Cell wall Cell Wall - structure surrounding cell membrane that provides structure and shape. composed of proteins, carbs, and cellulose protects from damage and connects it to next cell
Cell Wall Cell wall
Animal Cell vs. Plant Cell
Make foldable of plant and animal cell. Activities Make foldable of plant and animal cell. Must have drawing of both animal and plant cells. Must be colored and labeled. Must have venn diagram comparing cells. Will be graded with rubric Homework – Cell City Analogy
