|
Cell Membrane |
It separates the cell interior from the environment. It holds in fluids, chemicals, and structures that cells need to survive. Allows for selective transportation. |
Interior from the environment |
|
|
Cytoplasm |
A jelly-like fluid that fills a cell. It is made up of mostly water and salt. |
Jelly-like |
|
|
Nucleus |
The nucleus is the manager that directs all of the cell’s activities. Within the nucleus ads the cell’s genes. |
Manager |
|
|
Nucleolus |
The nucleolus is made up of proteins and ribonucleic acids. It’s main function is to rewrite ribosomal ribonucleic acids and combine it with proteins. |
Rewrite ribosomal ribonucleic acids |
|
|
Cell Wall |
Cell walls are rigid and supportive, giving cells their shape. It is composed of a fibrous material called cellulose. The cell wall completely enclosed the cell membrane giving it protection. |
Support and protection |
|
|
Chloroplast |
Chloroplast’s are the organelles of photosynthesis. They have two layers of membranes. The inner membranes contains the molecule chlorophyll which absorbs energy from the sun and converts it to chemical energy (photosynthesis.) |
Photosynthesis |
|
|
Vesicles |
Vesicles store or transport material in and out of the cell. |
Storage or transport |
|
|
Vacuoles |
Vacuoles are ballon-like vesicles that provide storage space for water, food, and minerals. |
Storage |
|
|
Lysosomes |
Inside lysosomes, various materials are degraded with the help of digestive enzymes, a type of protein. Some lysosomes protect the body by killing infectious micro-organisms. |
Degraded with digestive enzymes |
|
|
Ribosomes |
Ribosomes are a cell structure that makes protein. Ribosomes can be found floating within the cytoplasm or attached to the ER. |
Protein |
|
|
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) |
The Rough ER is studded with ribosomes. Ribosomes build proteins. These are then packaged in vesicles for transport. |
Ribosomes |
|
|
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) |
The smooth ER has no ribosomes. The smooth ER synthesizes lipids (fats) and packages large molecules (proteins or lipids) in vesicles. |
No ribosomes - lipids (fats) |
|
|
Golgi Apparatus |
Like a postal office, the Golgi apparatus sorts and repackages the molecules into vesicles, which are distributed to other areas of the cell. |
Postal office |
|
|
Mitochondria |
Mitochondrion provide energy to cells. Within the mitochondria, chemical reactions convert the energy from food molecules into a form of energy that can use to carry out other activities. This is called cellular respiration. |
Energy |
|
|
Centrioles |
Centrioles are cylindrical structures located just outside of the nucleus. They aid in cellular division and move genetic material correctly into each new cell. |
Cylindrical structures |
|
|
Similarities between Animal Cells and Plant Cells |
Both have a nucleus, cytoplasm, plasma membrane, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), ribosomes. |
Everything eless |
|
|
Differences between Animal Cells and Plant Cells |
Shape: No fixed shape (A) - Fixed shape (P) Cell wall: No cell wall (A) - Have cell wall (P) Food storage: Glycogen (A) - Starch (P) Vacuoles: No vacuoles [or small] (A) - Large vacuoles (P) Centrioles: Do not have centrioles (A) - Have centrioles (P) Chloroplasts: Have chloroplasts (A) - Don’t have chloroplasts (P) Lysosomes: Have lysosomes (A) - Don’t have lysosomes (P) |

Cell Theory |
1. All organisms are composed of one or more cells. 2. The cell is the smallest functional unit of life. 3. All cells are produced from other cells. |
Three cell theories |
|
|
All living things... |
-Need energy -Produce waste -Respond and adapt to their environments -Reproduce -Grow |
