Plant And Animal Cells

Front 1

Nucleus

Back 1

Contains DNA
Found in both animal and plant cells
Prokaryote DNA is found in cytoplasm

Front 2

Vacuoles and vesicles

Back 2

Stores material
Found in both animal and plant cells

Front 3

Lysosomes

Back 3

Breaks down and recycles macromolecules
Found in both animal and plant cells; However in plants cells they are rare

Front 4

Cytoskeleton

Back 4

Maintains cell shape
Moves cell parts
Helps cells move
Found in both animal and plant cells
Prokaryotic cells have protein filaments similar to actin and tublin

Front 5

Centrioles

Back 5

Organizes cell division
Only found in animal cells

Front 6

Ribosomes

Back 6

Sybthesizes proteins
Found in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes

Front 7

Endoplasmic reticulum

Back 7

Assembles proteins and lipids
Found in both animal and plant cells

Front 8

Golgi Apparatus

Back 8

Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for storage or transport out of the cell
Found in both animal and plant cells

Front 9

Chloroplasts

Back 9

Converts solar energy to chemical energy stored in food
Found in both animal and plant cells
In prokaryotic cells sometimes photosynthesize occurs in association with internal photosynthetic membranes

Front 10

Mitochondria

Back 10

Converts chemical energy in food to usable compounds
Found in both animal and plant cell
Prokaryotes carry out these reactions in the cytoplasm rather than in specialized organelles

Front 11

Cell wall

Back 11

Shapes, supports, and protects the cell
Found in eukaryote and prokaryotes

Front 12

Cell membrane

Back 12

Regulates material entering and leaving cell; Protects and supports cell
Found in eukaryote and prokaryotes
