1
Cell Organelles 7.12D Differentiate between structure and function in plant and animal cell organelles, including cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondrion, chloroplast, and vacuole
2
Cell Membrane Structure: Flexible Membrane with small holes, Surrounds cells (outside layer for animal cells, just inside cell wall for plants)
3
Plant Cell Animal Cell
Cell Membrane Function: Controls what goes in and out of cell (transports material) & Holds in cytoplasm Analogy: It is like the bright orange flexible fencing around construction sites because it protects the work site while still allowing things to go through. Plant Cell Animal Cell
4
Cytoplasm Structure: Gel-like fluid made mostly of water
The material inside the membrane
5
Plant Cell Animal Cell
Cytoplasm Function: Holds organelles keeps cell flexible maintains shape of cell Analogy: It is like the water in a swimming pool because all the stuff that happens in the pool happens in the water. The water supports the swimmer like cytoplasm supports organelles Plant Cell Animal Cell
6
Mitochondria Structure: Bean shape with many layers inside
7
Plant Cell Animal Cell
Mitochondria Function: Transforms energy (from nutrients and Oxygen) for cells to use Analogy: Mitochondria act like a power plant because they both transform other materials to make energy. Plant Cell Animal Cell
8
Nucleus Structure: Large and round, will usually be located towards the middle of the cell. Membrane bound (eukaryotic)
9
Plant Cell Animal Cell
Nucleus Function: Contains genetic material (DNA), controls cellular activities Analogy: The nucleus is like the brain of a human because the brain controls the actions of the body like the nucleus controls the cell. Plant Cell Animal Cell
10
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Structure: Flat, folded membrane, usually around the nucleus
11
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Function: Makes proteins for the cell. Internal delivery system. Analogy: ER is like a factory that produces goods and ships what they have made.
12
Golgi Body Structure: Stacked membranes
13
Golgi Body Function: Packages and delivers materials made from ER. In plants, the Golgi made cell wall material. Analogy: Golgi bodies are like FedEx because they package and ship materials around and out of cell.
14
Lysosome Structure: small and round, usually more found in animal cells. Can move within cells.
15
Lysosome Function: Digestion of cellular waste. Recycles old cell material to make new molecules. Analogy: Lysosomes are like your digestive system because both can break apart larger materials to make new molecules.
16
Vacuole Structure: small and round in animal cells, usually a single large bag-like structure in plants
17
Plant Cell Animal Cell
Vacuole Function: stores water and nutrients, aids(helps) in cellular digestion. In plants it works with the cell wall for cell support (turgor pressure). Analogy: A canteen is like a vacuole because both are used to store water. Plant Cell Animal Cell
18
Chloroplast Structure: green, bean shaped – found only in plant cells
19
Plant Cell Animal Cell
Chloroplast Only in plant cells! Function: contains chlorophyll that makes photosynthesis possible Analogy: Kitchens are like chloroplast because both make “food” for organisms. Plant Cell Animal Cell
20
Cell Wall Structure: rigid material that forms the outer layer of plant cells.
21
Plant Cell Animal Cell
Cell Wall Only in plant cells! Function: gives plant cells support and protects cell’s interior. Analogy: Walls of a building are like a cell wall because both are used for support. Plant Cell Animal Cell
22
So Which is Which and Why?
In your science journal write a few sentences about how you can identify different organelles and types of cells.
