1. The Eukaryotic cell – Parts and their functions.
Use this PowerPoint to study the parts and functions of the cell

2. Cell Wall (Plant Cell Only)
Outermost part of plant cell. Rigid structure. Protects the cell, helps it maintain shape and gives structural support.

3. Cell Wall (plant cell only)

4. Cell Membrane (Animal and Plant)
Flexible covering that protects the inside of a cell from the environment outside the cell.
Controls what enters and leaves the cell.

5. Cell Membrane

6. Cell Membrane

7. Cytoplasm (Animal and Plant)
Fluid/gel-like material inside a cell that contains salts and other molecules. Holds the cell’s organelles.

8. Cytoplasm

10. Cytoskeleton (Animal and Plant)
A network of threadlike proteins throughout the cytoplasm.
Gives the cell structure and helps it move.

11. Cytoskeleton

12. Nucleus (Animal and Plant)
Part of a eukaryotic cell that directs cell activities and contains genetic information stored in DNA.

13. Nucleus

14. Nucleolus (Animal and Plant)
Produces ribosomes. Located inside of the nucleus.

15. Nucleolus

16. Nuclear Membrane (Animal and Plant)
Surrounds the nucleus. Contains many pores (small openings). Controls what enters and leaves the nucleus.

17. Nuclear Membrane (envelope)
pores

18. Chromatin (Animal and Plant)
Strands of genetic material in the nucleus. Contains the instructions that direct the cell’s activities.

19. Chromatin

20. Rough ER (Animal and Plant)
Maze like organelle that spreads throughout most of the cytoplasm.
Forms passageways that move material throughout the cell.
Contains ribosomes on the surface.

21. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

22. Ribosomes (Animal and Plant)
Site of protein production.
Located on the surface of the rough ER as well as in the cytoplasm.

23. Ribosomes
Ribosomes

24. Smooth ER (Animal and Plant)
Maze like organelle that spreads throughout most of the cytoplasm.
Does not contain ribosomes on the surface.
Produces lipids and removes harmful substances from the body

25. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

26. Rough ER
Smooth ER

27. Mitochondria (Animal and Plant)
Produces useable energy for the cell. “Powerhouse” of the cell.
Energy produced by the mitochondria is stored as ATP.

28. Mitochondria

29. Golgi Apparatus (Animal and Plant)
Prepares proteins for specific jobs. Packages the proteins into vesicles that transport the proteins throughout the cell.
Also called the Golgi Body or Golgi Complex

31. Centriole (Animal Cell Only)
Important in cell division in animal cells.
Occur in pairs and are usually found near the nucleus.

32. Centriole

33. Lysosome (Animal Cell Only)
Contain substances that help break down and recycle cellular components.

35. Vacuole (Animal and Plant but different)
Sac like structure that stores food, water, and waste material.
Plant cells have one large (central) vacuole while the animal cells have many small vacuoles.

36. Vacuole (smaller in an animal cell)

37. Vacuole (Larger in a Plant Cell)

38. Chloroplast (Plant Cell Only)
Membrane bound organelle that uses light energy to make food (glucose) through the process of photosynthesis.
