1. Cell Organelle Notes Title your page: READ ONLY: Learning Goal:
Students will differentiate between structure and function in plant and animal cell organelles. Students will compare the functions of cells to the functions of organisms such as waste removal.

2. ALL four parts should be in your journal.
Overview
READ ONLY:
These notes have four parts:
Part 1: Background Info.
Part 2: Functions Chart
Part 3: Structures Diagrams
Part 4: Assignment: Double Bubble
ALL four parts should be in your journal.

3. Part 1: Background Info
A CELL is the basic, simplest unit of structure and function in an organism.
Structure is the shape or way something is arranged/organized.
Function is the job something performs.

4. Prokaryotic Eukaryotic
lacks (does NOT have) a nucleus
unicellular (one-celled) organisms.
Ex: bacteria
Eukaryotic
has a nucleus and other organelles
multicellular (many-celled) organisms
Ex: plant and animal cells
You DO NOT have to draw the pictures.
Just recognize the presence and absence of the nucleus.

5. Part 2:
Functions Chart
Tape this sheet into your next open page in your notebook.
Use the following slides to fill in the missing information.

6. CELL WALL
Is made of nonliving material called cellulose that make plants rigid that enable them to stand up tall and straight
Function: protects and supports the cell and provides a framework (similar to bones).
Found in: ONLY the plant cell
In a factory, the cell wall would be like the fence around the building.

7. Example of how your notes should look:

8. CELL MEMBRANE
Read Only:
Is a plasma boundary that separates the cell from its environment
Function: controls passage of substances in and out of the cell through the process of diffusion.
Found in: Both Plant and Animal Cells
In a factory, the cell membrane would be like the security guard.

9. READ ONLY:
Diffusion:
Diffusion is the process which molecules move through the cell membrane from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration. Molecules are constantly moving. They collide with one another and push away from each other until they are all evenly spread out throughout the area. Diffusion of water through a cell membrane has a special name- osmosis.
Diffusion is similar to the process that happens when you spray air freshener- it is concentrated in one spot until it evenly spreads out in the air.

10. NUCLEUS
Is the “brain” of the cell. The nucleus is surrounded by a membrane and contains genetic material called chromosomes and a small object called the nucleolus. (The nucleolus produces the ribosomes.)
Function: directs and controls all the cell’s activities. This is also where DNA (genetic material) is stored.
Found in: Both plant and animal cells
In a factory, the nucleus would be like the president of the company or CEO

11. MITOCHONDRIA Is a rod shaped organelle known as the “powerhouse”.
Read Only:
Is a rod shaped organelle known as the “powerhouse”.
Function: produces most of the energy the cell needs to carry out its functions.
Found in: Both plant and animal cells
In a factory, the mitochondria would be the furnace or generator.

12. CYTOPLASM
Is the clear, thick, gel-like fluid found between the nucleus and cell membrane inside the cell that is constantly moving.
Function: jellylike material that holds the organelles in place and makes up most of the cell.
Found in: Both plant and animal cells
In a factory, the cytoplasm would act as the floor.
Read Only:

13. VACUOLE Large, round, water-filled sacs floating in cytoplasm.
Read Only:
Large, round, water-filled sacs floating in cytoplasm.
Function: stores food and water needed by the cell
Found in: Both plant and animal cell (larger in a plant cell than an animal cell)
In a factory, the vacuoles would be like the storage area.
Animal Cell
Plant Cell

14. CHLOROPLAST
Are large green structures found floating in cytoplasm. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which give plants their green color.
Read Only:
Function: capture energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the plant cell (site of photosynthesis)
Found in: ONLY plant cells
In a factory, the chloroplast would be like a solar panel.

15. READ ONLY:
Cells contain additional organelles than the ones previously listed. Below are some of the extra cell parts for you to see how they contribute to the overall cell’s activities, however you will not be tested on these additional organelles until 9th grade Biology.
Lysosomes
Golgi Bodies
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Ribosomes

16. READ ONLY:
LYSOSOMES
Are small round structures that contain chemicals that break down large food particles. Sounds like “lysol”
Function: breaks down old cell parts and release the substances to be used again
Found in: Both plant and animal cells
In a factory, the lysosomes would be like the clean-up crew

17. GOLGI BODY/ APPARATUS READ ONLY:
Look like a flattened collection of sacs and tubes.
Function: to receive, package, and distribute proteins (ribosomes) to other parts of the cell
Found in: Both plant and animal cells
In a factory, the Golgi bodies would be like the packaging department similar to Fed-Ex

18. ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM (ER)
READ ONLY:
Is a maze of passageways found in the cell.
Function: to carry proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another
Found in: Both Plant and Animal Cells
In a factory, the endoplasmic reticulum would be like the transport team.

19. RIBOSOMES
READ ONLY:
Are small grain-like bodies. Some are attached to the Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough ER) and some are free-floating in the cytoplasm (Smooth ER)
Function: to produce proteins
Found in: Both plant and animal cells
In a factory, the ribosomes would be like the assembly line.

20. Label your next open pages as shown below.
Part 3: Structures Diagrams
Label your next open pages as shown below.
Labeled ANIMAL Cell Diagram
Labeled PLANT Cell Diagram

21. Use the following slides to label these two diagrams.
On Level:
Use the following slides to label these two diagrams.
Pre-AP:
You may either use these diagrams or you may draw your own.
Color Coding:
You will then need to color code the organelle to it’s labeled name.
For example, color the cell membrane purple in both diagrams and then write the label “Cell Membrane” in purple as well.

22. Use slides 21-25 for extra images of an animal cell.
This has extra organelles labeled. You will not be responsible for all of these- only the 7 on your chart.
Use slides for extra images of an animal cell.

32. Part 4: Assignment- Double Bubble
Create a double bubble to compare and contrast plant and animal cell organelles.
**Look at the Double Bubble Information and Example on the next TWO slides.
