Parts Of An Animal/plant Cell

Front 1

cell wall

Back 1

in plant cells; it is the outer most layer, and is composed of cellulose; it's function is to protect and support the cell

Front 2

cell membrane

Back 2

found in plant and animal cells

plant - inside cell wall
animal- outer layer; cholesterol

its selectively permeable

Front 3

nucleus

Back 3

in both plant and animal

its large and oval

controls cell activities

Front 4

nuclear envelope/membrane

Back 4

plant and animal

it surrounds nucleus, and is selectively permeable

it controls movement of materials in and out of the nucleus

Front 5

cytosol and cytoskeleton (cytoplasm)

Back 5

both plant and animal

cytosol - clear, thick, jellylike material and organelles found inside cell membrane

cytoskeleton- network of proteins, fibers, and microtubles

supports and protects cell organelles

Front 6

endoplasmic reticulum (er)

smooth er without ribosomes

rough er with ribosomes

Back 6

both plant and animal

network of tubes or membranes

carries materials through cell, synthesizes lipids, and regulates calcium

Front 7

ribosome

Back 7

both plant animal

small bodies free or attached to ER

produces proteins

Front 8

mitochondrion

Back 8

both plant and animal

bean shaped with inner membranes

breaks down sugar molecules into energy

Front 9

vacuole

Back 9

plant- few/large
animal - small

fluid-filled sacs

store food water waste (plants need to store large amounts of food)

Front 10

lysosome

Back 10

plant- uncommon
animal- common

small, round, with a membrane

breaks down larger food molecules into smalled molecules

digests old cell parts

Front 11

chloroplast

Back 11

plant only

green, oval usually containing chlorophyll

uses energy from sun to make food for the plant (photosynthesis)

Front 12

chromosomes

Back 12

plant and animal

DNA and proteins found in the nucleus - only seen during cell reproduction

carries genetic information from parent cells to daughter cells

Front 13

nucleolus

Back 13

plant and animal

small sphere inside the nucleus made mostly of RNA

helps to make ribosomes for the cell

Front 14

golgi bodies/apparatus

Back 14

plant and animal

series of flattened stacks of membranes

packages and processes chemicals/proteins

also makes lysosomes and vesicles

Front 15

centrioles

Back 15

anot only

small microtubles only seen during cell divison

helps move chromosomes during animal cell division

Front 16

cilia/flagella

Back 16

animal cells (mostly)
rarely in plant cells

cilia - numerous short, hairlike ; can be in the thousande

flagella- long, whiplike, less than cilia

(both) contain microtubles

function is for cell movement (human sperm cells)
