CELL A- PLANT CELL
Cell MembraneFunction: physically separates thr intracellular components from the extracellular
environment, like skin for a cell.
Location: Right inside the cell wall
Cell WallFunction: Supports the cell and lets it expand and contract
Location: Outside the cell membrane, on the very outside of the cell
Golgi ApparatusFunction: Modifies, sorts, delivers substances for use throughout the cell. Transports
lipids, creates lysosomes.
Location: Floating mound of sacks in the cytoplasm
NucleusFunction: brains of cell, mediates replication of DNA
Location: Center of cell, circular
NucleolusFunction: Production and assembly of ribosome components
Location: Inside nucleus center
CytoplasmStructure: Internal fluid
Function: Cell metabolism
Location: Surrounds cytoskeleton; liquid the organelle sits in
LysosomeStructure: Enzymes in it, has membrane surrounding it, small circlular disk
Function: breaking down organelles and removing junk in the cell
Location: found in the cytoplasm; circular
MitochondriaStructure: enclosed by an inner and an outer membrane. the inner membrane is folded up
inside the organelle. the outside membrane covers the organelle. the inner membrane is
folded up inside of the organellle, which means there is more surface area, making it
work better and harder
Function: the main function is the production of energy inside the cell
Location: in cytoplasm; kindey bean shape; folded
VacuoleFunction: stores water, other stuff
Location: found in cytoplasm; large empty space
ChloroplastFunction: absorb light for photosynthesis energy reaction
Location: resides inside cytoplasm; contains “double-circle” disks inside
Rough Endoplasmic ReticulumStructure: Extensive network of folds held together by cytoskeleton
Function: facilitation of protein folding
Location: A series of folds attached to nucleus; dots (ribosomes) found on surface
Smooth Endoplasmic ReticulumStructure: Extensive network of folds held together by cytoskeleton
Function: facilitation of protein folding
Location: A series of folds attached to nucleus; NO dots (ribosomes) found on surface
RibosomeStructure: circle
Function: site of protein synthesis
Location: in cytoplasm; a bunch of floating circles
Nuclear membrane
Function: barrier for nucleus
Location: surrounds the nucleus
CELL B- ANIMAL CELL

environment, like skin for a cell.

RibosomeStructure: circle
Function: site of protein synthesis
Location: in cytoplasm; a bunch of floating circles
Circular DNAStructure: coiled in the middle of cell
Function: genetic information
Location: “clump” in center of cell
CELL C- PROKARYOTE CELL
RibosomeStructure: circle
Function: site of protein synthesis
Location: in cytoplasm; a bunch of floating circles
CytoplasmStructure: Internal fluid
Function: Cell metabolism
Location: Surrounds cytoskeleton; liquid the organelle sits in
PiliStructure: Hair-like extensions from cell
Function: Protection
Location: Sticking outside cell
NucleoidStructure: Coiled up DNA in middle of cell
Function: Genetic material
Location: Coiled up DNA “clumped” in middle of cell
FlagellumStructure: Tail-like extension of cell
Function: Movement
Location: Sticking outside cell
PlasmidStructure: circular ring of DNA
Function: Genetic material that can be transferred
Location: In cytoplasm; circular DNA
CapsuleFunction: Protects the cell
Location: Outside the cell membrane, on the very outside of the cell
