Structure and Function

2. Common to Both Animal and Plant Cells
Nucleus
Cell Membrane
Mitochondria
Cytoplasm
Golgi Apparatus
Ribosome
Vacuoles
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Nucleolus
Nuclear membrane

3. Only Found in the Animal Cell
Lysosome
Cilia
Centriole
Flagella

4. Only found in the Plant Cell
Chloroplast
Cell Wall
Central Vacuole

5. Nucleus Nucleolus Nuclear Membrane Produces Ribosomes
Control center of the cell. Contains chromosomes which are composed of DNA ; functions in the genetic control of the cell.
Nucleolus
Produces Ribosomes
Nuclear Membrane
Thin flexible barrier that regulates passage of materials between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Lipid bi-layer with embedded proteins.

6. Mitochondria
The energy source of the cell. Converts glucose to ATP energy through the process of Cellular respiration

7. Golgi Apparatus
Collects, packages, modifies and distributes molecules for transport within or out of the cell.

8. Endoplasmic Reticulum
A complex extensive network that transports materials throughout the inside of the cell. Highway transport system of the cell

9. Cell Membrane Thin flexible barrier that surrounds the cell.
Selectively permeable: regulates what enters and
leaves the cell.
Composed of a phospholipids by-layer with embedded
proteins.

10. Cytoplasm
Semi-fluid material inside the cell containing molecules and the organelles; exclusive of the nucleus; is bound by the cell membrane

11. Ribosome Produces proteins by the process of Protein Synthesis
Composed of a Large Subunit and a Small subunit
Found Free in the cell (cytoplasm) and on the Rough endoplasmic reticulum

12. Store materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates; vacuoles in the animal cell (if presents) are much smaller than those in the plant cell.

13. Organelles found only in the Plant Cell
Central Vacuole: Stores food and water
Chloroplast: Converts solar energy into chemical energy through the process of Photosynthesis
Contains a green pigment called Chlorophyll.
Cell Wall:
Protects the cell
Made of cellulose
Rigid
Found in bacteria,
Fungi, and some Protists.

14. Organelles found only in the Animal Cell
Cilia: Tiny hairs used for movement or filtering tiny particles Found in animal or protist.
Flagella: Whip-like tail used for movement
Lysosome: contains enzymes necessary for digesting materials in the cell. Cleaning crew of the cell
Centriole: controls cell reproduction
