1. ANIMAL AND PLANT CELLS
CELLS – The building blocks of all living things.
Only visible with a microscope!

2. PLANT and ANIMAL CELL
Pictures:

3. CELL WALL Picture: Rigid, tough, made of cellulose
Protects and supports the cell
PLANT

4. CELL MEMBRANE Pictures: Thin, covering, protects cells. Plant
Animal Cell:
Thin, covering, protects cells.
Protects the cell, performs active transport and passive transport, moves materials in and out of the cell.
PLANT AND ANIMAL

5. CYTOPLASM Picture: Jelly like substance that contains organelles
Pads and supports organelles inside the cell.
PLANT AND ANIMAL

6. NUCLEUS Picture: Powerhouse of the Cell – “THE BIG KAHOONA”
Dense, ball shaped structure, contains DNA
Controls ALL of the cell’s activities
PLANT AND ANIMAL

7. NUCLEAR MEMBRANE Picture: Thin covering over the nucleus
Covers and protects the nucleus
PLANT AND ANIMAL

8. NUCLEOLUS Picture: Small dark area in the nucleus Produces ribosome’s
PLANT AND ANIMAL

9. CHROMATIN
Picture:
In the nucleus, made of DNA and protein, contains genes
Provides instructions for the cells activities, (growth, reproduction)
PLANT AND ANIMAL

10. ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM – (ER)
Clear, tubular system of tunnels throughout the cell
Transports materials like proteins around the cell
PLANT AND ANIMAL
Smooth ER:
Rough ER: Difference: Contains Ribosomes (Dots on Rough ER)

11. RIBOSOMES
Picture:
Small specks made of RNA. Found in cytoplasm or on the rough endoplasmic reticulum
Makes proteins
PLANT AND ANIMAL

12. “MIGHTY MITOCHONDRIA”
Location in the cytoplasm, bean shaped
Supplies energy or ATP for the cell through cell respiration using glucose and oxygen
PLANT AND ANIMAL
Picture:

13. VACUOLE Picture: In Plant Cell: In Animal Cell:
Large open storage area, smaller in animal cells
Storage tank for food, water, wastes or enzymes
PLANT AND ANIMAL

14. CHLOROPLAST Picture: Green structures that contain chlorophyll
Captures sunlight and uses it to produce food through Photosynthesis
What is Photosynthesis?
PLANT

15. GOLGI BODY Picture: Small bags with tubes connecting them
Packages proteins for use in and out of the cell
PLANT AND ANIMAL

16. LYSOSOME Picture: In Plant Cell: In Animal Cell:
Small, round structures, containing enzymes
Digests older cell parts, food or other objects
PLANT AND ANIMAL

17. CYTOSKELETON Picture: A web of proteins
Magnified:
A web of proteins
Acts as both a muscle and a skeleton
Keeps the cell’s membrane from collapsing.
PLANT AND ANIMAL
