1. Cell Structure and Function

2. Animal Cell

3. Plant Cell

4. Cell Membrane a thin covering around the cell
the cell membrane determines what enters and leaves the cell

5. Cytoplasm Looks like jelly; found throughout the cell
This is where activities are carried out by the organelles in the cell

6. Vacuoles in cytoplasm; looks like air bubbles
vacuoles store food, chemicals, and waste

7. Mitochondria Found in the cytoplasm
Mitochondria converts food into energy; the “powerhouse” of the cell

8. Ribosomes
Found in cytoplasm; tiny round structures attached to endoplasmic reticulum
Where proteins are made

9. Nucleus
Found in the cytoplasm in the center of the cell; surrounded by the nuclear membrane
Directs all cell activities, “control center of the cell,” contains DNA and RNA

10. DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid)
Found inside chromosomes in the nucleus
Contains instructions for growth reproduction and development of a cell

11. Chromosomes rod shaped; found in nucleus; made of coiled DNA
Contain DNA which are the “instructions”

12. Cell Wall the thick and firm outer boundary of the plant cell
the cell wall supports and protects the plant cell

13. Chloroplasts
Oval-shaped and green, found in the cytoplasm of plant cells
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll

14. Chlorophyll Found in chloroplasts which are located in the cytoplasm
Chlorophyll allows plants to make their own food and is responsible for their green color
