3. NUCLEUS Cell Nucleus - Commanding the Cell
The cell nucleus acts like the brain of the cell. It helps control eating, movement, and reproduction. If it happens in a cell, chances are the nucleus knows about it. The nucleus is not always in the center of the cell.
You will also find the nucleolus inside of the nucleus. When you look through a microscope, it looks like a nucleus inside of the nucleus
Plant Cell
Animal Cell

4. NUCLEUS Structure that contains GENETIC material
Controls cellular activities
The nucleus is the most obvious organelle in any eukaryotic cell. It is a membrane-bound organelle and is surrounded by a double membrane.
Within the nucleus is the DNA responsible for providing the cell with its unique characteristics.
Present in all cells but Archaebacteria & Eubacteria
NO Nucleus - Bacteria
Plant Cell
Animal Cell

5. CELL MEMBRANE
Every cell is enclosed in a membrane.
The cell membrane is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment The cell membrane is selectively-permeable
Cell membrane- controls what enters and leaves the cell

6. MITOCHONDRIA – Cellular ENERGY
Mitochondria - Turning on the Powerhouse
Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. They are organelles that act like a digestive system that takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy for the cell. The process of transforming cell energy is known as cellular respiration. Most of the chemical reactions involved in cellular respiration happen in the mitochondria.
You might find cells with several thousand mitochondria. The number depends on what the cell needs to do.

7. Vacuoles Vacuoles - Storage Bins to the Cells
They are found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant cells.
In plant cells, there is usually one very large vacuole.
Most of a plant cell's volume depends on the material in vacuoles.
Stores Fluid and waste, stores many materials
vacuoles gain and lose water depending on how much water is available to the plant. A drooping plant has lost much of its water and the vacuoles are shrinking. It still maintains its basic structure because of the cell walls. When the plant finds a new source of water, the vacuoles are refilled and the plant regains its structure. (turgor pressure)

8. Cell Wall – maintains structural support - protection
Primary function is to maintain cell shape
Protects the cell
Located Outside of the cell membrane
Inside of cell – cell membrane – cell wall – environment
NOT IN ANIMAL CELLS

9. Chloroplast Chloroplasts - Show me the Green
Chloroplasts are the food producers of the cell. They are only found in plant cells and some protists. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts.
Carry out PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Photosynthesis is the process that allows plants to capture energy from the Sun and create sugars.
Plants are the basis of all life on Earth. They create sugars, and the byproduct of that process is the oxygen that we breathe.
Chloroplast
