1. Can you find some similarities????
KEY CONCEPT Eukaryotic cells share many similarities.
Plant Cell
Animal Cell
Can you find some similarities????

2. Like your body, eukaryotic cells are highly organized structures.

3. How can we compare the cell membrane to our skin?
Cell membrane: receives messages from other cells
Separates interior material from outside environment
Selectively permeable (only certain things can move in an out)
How can we compare the cell membrane to our skin?

4. The cytoskeleton is made of small protein subunits that form long threads, or fibers, that crisscross the ENTIRE cell.

5. How can we compare the Cytoskeleton to our human Skeleton?
provides strength
helps position and transport organelles
assists in cell division
supports and shapes cell
How can we compare the Cytoskeleton to our human Skeleton?

6. The nucleus stores genetic information or DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).

7. The nucleolus is a dense region where tiny organelles essential for making proteins are assembled
Nuclear envelope

8. There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum.
rough endoplasmic reticulum
Have bumps called
ribosomes which
link amino acids together
to form proteins

9. Makes lipids and performs
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Makes lipids and performs
specialized functions such
as breaking down drugs
and alcohol.

10. Golgi apparatus- processes, sorts, and delivers proteins to different parts of the cell
Ex: like a post office

11. Vesicles transport materials from place to place within the cell
Vesicles transport materials from place to place within the cell. Separate chemicals from each other until they are going to be used in a chemical reaction
Ex: Mailman

12. Mitochondria supply energy to the cell.
Chemical reactions take place that convert the molecules you eat into usable energy

13. Vacuoles hold materials needed by the cell such as water, food molecules, ions, and enzymes
Plant cell
Animal cell

14. Lysosomes contain enzymes to digest material
Lysosomes contain enzymes to digest material. They are like trash compactors. They also defend the cell from invading bacteria and viruses.

15. Centrioles help divide DNA between splitting animal cells (mitosis and meiosis). They also form cilia (hair-like structures) and flagella (tail-like structures).
*only in animal cells

16. A cell wall gives shape to the cell and provides protection
A cell wall gives shape to the cell and provides protection. Connect together to support the entire organism.
*Only in plants

17. Chloroplasts convert solar energy to chemical energy
Chloroplasts convert solar energy to chemical energy. They carry out photosynthesis
*Only in plants
