The Cell And Its Organelles

The Cell o The basic unit of structure and function in living things

PLANT CELL ANIMAL CELL

Organelles o The tiny structures in the cell that carry out the specific functions in the cell

Entering The Cell o o CELL WALL A stiff wall that surrounds the cell membrane, giving the cell a rigid boxlike shape Function: protection & support This structure is only on the plant cell Biology 4 Kids. com: Cell Structure: Cell Walls o o o CELL MEMBRANE Forms the outside boundary that separates the cell from its environment Function: controls what comes in and out of the cell Biology 4 Kids. com: Cell Structure: Cell Membrane

Cell Pictures Cell wall Cell membrane

NUCLEUS o o Acts as the “brain” of the cell or the control center Directs all of the cell’s activities Where DNA is found Biology 4 Kids. com: Cell Structure: Cell Nucleus

Nucleus

CYTOPLASM o o o A gel-like fluid found throughout the entire cell wherein the organelles are found. It is constantly moving so the cell does not need to propel itself. Biology 4 Kids. com: Cell Structure: Cytoplasm

Cytoplasm

MITOCHONDRIA o o o The “powerhouses” of the cell Produces energy for the cell Biology 4 Kids. com: Cell Structure: Mitochondria

Mitochondria

ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM o o Carry proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another Biology 4 Kids. com: Cell Structure: Endoplasmic Reticulum RIBOSOMES o o Factories that produce proteins Biology 4 Kids. com: Cell Structure: Ribosomes

Ribosomes

GOLGI BODIES o o o The cell’s mailroom Receives proteins and other materials from the ER, packages them and distributes them to other parts of the cell. Biology 4 Kids. com: Cell Structure: Golgi Complex

VACUOLES o o o Storage area of the cell Stores food and water Plants have one large vacuole for water Some animal cells have them & others do not Biology 4 Kids. com: Cell Structure: Vacuoles

LYSOSOMES o o o Cell’s cleanup crew Breaks down old cell parts and releases the substances so they can be used again. Biology 4 Kids. com: Cell Structure: Lysosomes

Anima l Cell

CHOLORPLASTS o o o Capture energy from the sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell Found only in the plant cell Biology 4 Kids. com: Cell Structure: Chloroplasts
