ANIMAL AND PLANT CELLS The building blocks of
ANIMAL AND PLANT CELLS – The building blocks of all living things. Only visible with a microscope!
PLANT and ANIMAL CELL Pictures:
CELL WALL Picture: • Rigid, tough, made of cellulose • Protects and supports the cell • PLANT
CELL MEMBRANE Pictures: Plant Cell: 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
CYTOPLASM Picture: Jelly like substance that contains organelles Pads and supports organelles inside the cell. PLANT AND ANIMAL
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
NUCLEAR MEMBRANE Picture: Thin covering over the nucleus Covers and protects the nucleus PLANT AND ANIMAL
NUCLEOLUS Picture: Small dark area in the nucleus Produces ribosome’s PLANT AND ANIMAL
CHROMATIN Picture: In the nucleus, made of DNA and protein, contains genes Provides instructions for the cells activities, (growth, reproduction) PLANT AND ANIMAL
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM – (ER) Smooth ER: Rough ER: Difference: Contains Ribosomes (Dots on Rough ER) Clear, tubular system of tunnels throughout the cell Transports materials like proteins around the cell PLANT AND ANIMAL
RIBOSOMES Picture: Small specks made of RNA. Found in cytoplasm or on the rough endoplasmic reticulum Makes proteins PLANT AND ANIMAL
“MIGHTY MITOCHONDRIA” Picture: Location in the cytoplasm, bean shaped Supplies energy or ATP for the cell through cell respiration using glucose and oxygen PLANT AND ANIMAL
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
CHLOROPLAST Picture: Green structures that contain chlorophyll Captures sunlight and uses it to produce food through Photosynthesis What is Photosynthesis? PLANT
GOLGI BODY Picture: Small bags with tubes connecting them Packages proteins for use in and out of the cell PLANT AND ANIMAL
LYSOSOME Picture: In Plant Cell: In Animal Cell: Small, round structures, containing enzymes Digests older cell parts, food or other objects PLANT AND ANIMAL
CYTOSKELETON Picture: Magnified: A web of proteins Acts as both a muscle and a skeleton Keeps the cell’s membrane from collapsing. PLANT AND ANIMAL
