Plant and Animal Cell Organelles and Functions
LETS LEARN ABOUT CELLS!
2
Animal Cell Organelles and Function

• Nucleus
• Function The control center of the cell which
  holds the cells DNA.
• Nickname The Brain of the Cell
• Parts
• Nuclear Membrane A thin covering that surrounds
  the nucleus allowing materials to move in and out
  of the nucleus.
• Nucleolus Appears as a dark spot in the nucleus
  helps make proteins.

Animal Cell Organelles and Function

• Cell Membrane The thin covering that surrounds
  the cell allowing materials to move in and out of
  the cell.
• Ribosomes
• Function Organelles in the cell that make
  proteins.
• Found in all cells on the ER
• Chromosomes Organelles that carry genetic
  information for each cell.

Animal Cell Organelles and Function

• Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
• Function The internal delivery (transportation)
  system of the cell.
• Nickname Roads of the cell
• Cytoplasm The jelly-like material between the
  cell membrane and the nuclear membrane which
  holds organelles in the cell.

7
Endoplasmic Reticulum

• 2 Types of Endoplasmic Reticulum
• Rough ER
• Rough appearance because it has ribosome's on it.
• Function Helps to make proteins, with its
  ribosome's.
• Smooth ER
• NO ribosome's
• Function The smooth ER makes fats or lipids.

Animal Cell Organelles and Function

• Golgi Bodies
• Function To package, modify, and transport
  materials to locations inside and/or outside the
  cell.
• Nickname The shippers (UPS of the cell)
• Appearance Looks like a stack of pancakes
• Vacuoles A sac filled with liquid and nutrients,
  used for storage. Plants have one large vacuole
  and animals have several small vacuoles.

Animal Cell Organelles and Function

• Mitochondria
• Function The mitochondria make energy for the
  cell.
• Nickname The Powerhouse of the Cell you can
  remember this by remembering the MIGHTY
  MITOCHONDRIA!
• The mitochondria break down food to make ATP.
• ATP is the major fuel for all cell activities
  that require energy.

• Now lets talk about structures only found in
  PLANT Cells!!

14
Plant Cell Organelles and Function

• Vacuoles Each plant cell only has 1!
• Function The vacuole stores water and
  nutrients.
• This is what makes lettuce crisp.
• When there is no water, the plant wilts.

Plant Cell Organelles and Function

• Chloroplasts
• Function Chloroplasts trap energy from the sun
  to produce food for the plant cell.
• Chloroplasts are green in color because of
  chlorophyll, which is a green pigment that has
  its own function in a plant cell.

Plant Cell Organelles and Function

• Chlorophyll
• Chlorophyll works much like a solar panel,
  absorbing light energy, which is then stored as
  food energy. Chlorophyll uses the suns light
  energy to change carbon dioxide and water into
  glucose and oxygen. This process is called
  photosynthesis.
• Photosynthesis
• Photosynthesis is the process of using light
  energy to combine carbon dioxide and water to
  produce glucose which plants use as food.

19
Plant Cell Organelles and Function

• Cell Wall
• Function The plant cell wall provides support
  and protection to the cell membrane much like a
  brick wall protects a house.
• Found outside the cell membrane in plant cells
  the cell wall gives plant stems and tree limbs
  their rigid structure.
