Animal and Plant Cells Lecture Notes
Objective: Students will be able to explain that all living organisms are made up of cells and that they can be unicellular
or multicellular. They will also be able to compare & contrast a plant cell versus an animal cell in terms of what types of
organelles they share and don’t share and the roles that each of the organelles play in the cell.
Living
VS
Non-Living
All Living Things Are ___________________________________________
(Unicellular
Some Living Things Are Made Up of One Cell or Many Cells
Single Cell Organisms
(Unicellular)
________________ Organisms
Consist of ____________
examples: bacteria
protozoa
Consist of multiple cells
examples: shark, plant, frog,
human bird
Animals are made up of ______________________________________
These Are All Called ORGANELLES

o
Cell membrane
organelle – specialized structure that performs important cellular functions within a
eukaryotic cell “little organs”
- thin, flexible barrier around a cell; regulates what _________________ &
_____________________ the cell
o
Cell Wall
o
Nucleus
o
Cytoplasm
- strong, supporting layer around the cell membrane in ________________, _____________,
and some bacteria
- contains the cell’s ______________________________ (DNA) & controls the cell’s activities
(like the brain of the cell)
- gel-like material inside the cell that _____________________ & __________________ the
cells’ organelles
o
Chloroplast
(mainly plants)
- captures the energy from sunlight & uses it to __________________________________

o
Centrioles
(only animals)
- structure that helps to _________________________________________________
o
Cytoskeleton
- network of protein filaments within some cells that helps the cell _________________
___________________ & is involved in many forms of cell movement
o
Lysosome
- filled with digestive enzymes that can ________________ down certain materials & help get
rid of ___________________________________ in the cell (like a garbage disposal)
o
Mitochondrion
- converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds (ATP) that are more
convenient for the cell to use (site of ____________________________________)
o
Golgi Apparatus
- stack of membranes in the cell that __________________, _______________, &
_____________________ proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
(like a post office)
o
Ribosome
o
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
o
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
o
Vacuole
- proteins are _________________________ (created) here
- in many cells, it contains collections of enzymes that
perform specialized tasks, including the synthesis of
membrane lipids & the detoxification of drugs
(________ ribosomes)
- site where lipid components of the cell membrane
are assembled, along with proteins & other materials
that are exported from the cell (________ ribosomes)
- ____________________________ such as water, salts, proteins, & carbohydrates
plants – __________________ vacuole
animals – _________________ vacuole
