“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
