1. Cell Organelles: Structure –vs-Function

2. Cell Membrane
Function: to allow certain things to enter and exit the cell
Structure: made of phospholipid bilayer
Fluid – always moving
Found in both plant and animal cells

3. Mitochondria Function: energy powerhouse of the cell
Structure: 2 membranes (external is smooth and internal is highly folded)
Found in both plant and animal cells

4. Nucleus Function: contains DNA; controls cell activities
Structure: surrounded by nuclear envelope (with pores)
Found in both plant and animal cells

5. Endoplasmic reticulum
Function: move proteins throughout cell
Structure: folded membrane (series of sacs)
Can be rough (with attached ribosomes) or smooth (without ribosomes)
Found in both plant and animal cells.

6. Golgi apparatus
Function: packages and distributes proteins throughout cell
Structure: series of flattened sacs (membranes)
Found in both plant and animal cells

7. Ribosomes Function: synthesizes proteins
Structure: made of RNA molecules (later in year)
Found in both plant and animal cells

8. Vacuole Function: stores stuff Structure: membrane bound sac
Found in both plant and animal cells

9. Lysosomes
Function: recycles old cell parts, destroys unwanted things in cell
Structure: membrane bound sac containing digestive enzymes
Found in both plant and animal cells

10. Chloroplasts Function: converts suns energy into useable energy
Structure: stacked disks found with double membrane
Found only in plant cells (and some bacteria)

11. Cell Wall Function: provides support and structure
Structure: rigid, cellulose
Found only in plant cells

12. Central vacuole
Function: fills up with water and gives plants rigidity (shape)
Structure: filled with fluid (water) and small molecules
Found only in plant cells

13. Cytoplasm Function: supports cellular structures
Structure: thick, jelly-like fluid
Found in both plant and animal cells
