|
Cell Wall |
The Cell Wall helps to protect and support the cell. |
|
|
Cell Membrane |
The Cell Membrane controls what substances/materials go in and out of the cell. Also, everything the cell needs, has to enter the cell through the Cell Membrane. |
|
|
Nucleus |
The Nucleus acts as the brain of the cell and it directs all of the cell's functions and activities. |
|
|
Nuclear Envelope |
The Nuclear Envelope surrounds and protects the nucleus. It also has pores that control what comes in and out of the nucleus. |
|
|
Chromatin |
Chromatin contains genetic material and it is also the instructions for directing the cell's function. |
|
|
Nucleolus |
The Nucleolus is where ribosomes are made to produce protein, which is important in all cells. |
|
|
Cytoplasm |
The Cytoplasm is the thick, gel-like fluid which is constantly moving. Also, many of the cell organelles are found in the Cytoplasm. |
|
|
Mitochondria |
The Mitochondria converts energy in food molecules to energy the cell can use. |
|
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum |
The Endoplasmic Reticulum carries proteins from one part of a cell to another, they also store materials for the cell. |
|
|
Ribosomes |
Most of the ribosomes are attached to the Endoplasmic Reticulum and they function as factories to produce proteins. |
|
|
Golgi Bodies |
Golgi Bodies receive proteins and other materials from the Endoplasmic Reticulum and package them, and distribute them to other parts of the cell. |
|
|
Chloroplasts |
Chloroplasts capture energy from the sunlight to produce food for the cell. |
|
|
Vacuoles |
Vacuoles are the storage areas of the cells, and they float in the cytoplasm. |
|
|
Lysosomes |
Lysosomes contain chemicals that break down larger particles into smaller particlas. |
|
|
What is the difference between plant, animal, and bacteria cells?
|
The plant and animal cells have a nucleus, and the bacteria cell doesn't, it has free-floating genetic materials floating freely throughout the cell. Also, only the plant cells have chloroplasts, which go through photosynthesis. Also, only plant cells have a structured cell wall. |
