Parts of the Cell

Silently and on your own, label the parts of the cell using the new information that you gained on yesterday. Use the key to make sure that you are spelling the organelles correctly. Labeling the Parts of the Cell

Objective: I will be able to: Explain the difference between the major organelles of plant and animal cells by reading and comprehending a passage and by labeling the organelles on a graphic organizer.

Essential Question: How do plant and animal cells differ in terms of which organelles they have? How do the structure and function of organelles differ in plant and animal cells? Structure- What it's made of (organization) Function- What it does (purpose)

DNA Located in the Nucleus. Contains genetic information.

Cell Membrane Semi-permeable membrane (only allows certain things in and out) that surrounds the cell.

Nucleus Contains genetic information (DNA – chromosomes) Brain of the cell

Vacuole Storage unit for the cell. Animal cells have a few smaller vacuoles. In plant cells, there is one large Central Vacuole.

Centrioles Important for cell division in animal cells.

Golgi Bodies (Apparatus) Help to package proteins

Mitochondria Breaks down food to give the cell energy

Ribosomes Helps make proteins Found in the cytoplasm or attached to endoplasmic reticulum

Lysosome Animal cell - Contains enzymes used in digestion of food and waste If a lysosome were to burst it could destroy the cell

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Systems of membranes throughout the cytoplasm Connects the nuclear membrane to the cell membrane Passageway for materials moving through the cell

ER Rough ER: makes membranes and makes proteins such as antibodies ~Has ribosomes attached Smooth ER: Makes proteins ~ Has no ribosomes attached

Cell Wall Plants only Provides structure and shape to the cell

Chloroplast Contains chlorophyll that makes food for the plant cell
