Cell “Organ”elles
“TYPICAL” ANIMAL CELL
“TYPICAL” PLANT CELL
CELL MEMBRANE
• Outer layer of animal cells
• Controls movement of materials into and
out of cell
• Helps cell to maintain homeostasis (balance)
CELL WALL
• Most commonly found in plant cells and
bacteria
• Provide Protection and Support
Nucleus
(Brain of the cell)
• Directs cell activities (control center)
• Contains genetic material – chromosomes,
DNA
DNA
(Owner Manual)
DNA is the blueprints for the cell.
DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. This is what genes are made
of.
Mitochondria
(Power house)
• Functions in energy production through
chemical reactions (ATP)
Cytoplasm
(water in a swimming pool)
• Gel-like mixture makes up inside of cell
• Holds other organelles in cell
• Surrounded by cell membrane
VACUOLES
(Water Storage)
• For storage, digestion, and waste removal
• Contains water solution
• Help plants maintain shape (larger in plant cells)
CHLOROPLAST
(solar panels)
• Usually found in plant cells
• Contains green chlorophyll
• Where photosynthesis takes place
Ribosome
• Make proteins for the cell
• Can be floating in cytoplasm or on
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Endoplasmic Reticulum
• Process/Packages/Transports proteins made
by Ribosomes and fats
Golgi Apparatus
(Post Man)
• Packages and delivers protein and fats from
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Lysosome
(Trash collector)
• Digests and breaks down waste in the cell
• Similar to the stomach in the cell.
Centrioles
• Only in Animal cells
• Used when cells split to make new cells
