Animal Cell Cytoplasm Cell Membrane Go to Section:
Eukaryotic Cell: Organelles & Functions 1. Cell Membrane (Nickname: skin ) Function: A protective layer that covers the cell s surface Controls what moves in and out of the cell Located: Oxygen, carbon dioxide, H 2 O, wastes, food, etc In plant cells, it is to the inside of the cell wall In animal cells, it is the outermost part of the cell
Eukaryotic Cell : Organelles & Functions 2. Cytoplasm (Nickname: gel ) Function: The jelly-like fluid that fills the cell Located: Inside of the cell membrane of both plant & animal cells
Animal Cell Cytoplasm Nucleolus Nucleus Cell Membrane Go to Section:
Eukaryotic Cell: Organelles & Functions 3. Nucleus (Nickname: The Control Center or Brain ) Function: contains the cell s DNA **Parts inside the nucleus: 4. Chromosomes: strands of DNA (genetic material) 5. Nucleolus: dark spot in the middle of the nucleus that helps make ribosomes Located: all three parts above are found in both plant & animal cells
Animal Cell Cytoplasm Nucleolus Nucleus Ribosomes Cell Membrane Go to Section:
Eukaryotic Cell: Organelles & Functions 6. Ribosomes (Nickname: The factory ) Function: makes proteins Located: -- in the cytoplasm of all cells-- prokaryotic & eukaryotic -- some are attached to the ER
Animal Cell Cytoplasm Nucleolus Nucleus Ribosomes Cell Membrane Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Go to Section:
Eukaryotic Cell: Organelles & Functions 7. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) (Nickname: Roads ) Function: transports proteins & other materials around the cell Located: -- in the cytoplasm of plant & animal cells -- usually found near the nucleus
Section 7-2 Figure 7-5 Plant and Animal Cells Animal Cell Cytoplasm Nucleolus Nucleus Ribosomes Cell Membrane Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Complex Go to Section:
Eukaryotic Cell: Organelles & Functions 8. Golgi Complex (Nickname: The shippers ) Function: -- packages proteins and fats **Appearance: stack of pancakes Located: in the cytoplasm of plant & animal cells
Section 7-2 Figure 7-5 Plant and Animal Cells Animal Cell Cytoplasm Nucleolus Nucleus Ribosomes Cell Membrane Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Bodies Go to Section:
Eukaryotic Cell: Organelles & Functions 9. Lysosomes: (Nickname: Clean-up Crew ) Function: -- digests food into particles the rest of the cell can use -- destroy old cells, wastes & foreign invaders **Appearance: circular, but bigger than ribosomes Located: found mainly in animal cells
Section 7-2 Figure 7-5 Plant and Animal Cells Animal Cell Cytoplasm Nucleolus Nucleus Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Ribosomes Cell Membrane Mitochondria Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Bodies
Eukaryotic Cell: Organelles & Functions 10. Mitochondria (Nickname: The Powerhouse ) Function: -- breaks down food/sugar to release energy **Appearance: they are the size of some bacteria Located: in the cytoplasm of plant & animal cells
Section 7-2 Figure 7-5 Plant and Animal Cells Plant Cell Vacuole Cell Membrane Go to Section:
Eukaryotic Cell: Organelles & Functions 11. Vacuoles (Nickname: Storage Cabinet ) Function: In Plant Cells: Very large; stores water Animal Cells: Much smaller; stores water & other materials Located: in the cytoplasm
Section 7-2 Figure 7-5 Plant and Animal Cells Plant Cell Vacuole Chloroplasts Cell Membrane Go to Section:
Eukaryotic Cell: Organelles & Functions 12. Chloroplasts (Nickname: The Green Machine ) Function: converts ( traps ) energy from the sun to produce food (PHOTOSYNTHESIS) **Appearance: Green in color because of chlorophyll, which is a green pigment Located: in the cytoplasm of plant cells
Chloroplasts
