Microscopic ImagePlant Cell Animal Cell

What Kind of Cells have the Organelle?

• All Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, plant and animal cells.

• Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus.

Where is the Organelle Located?

• The nucleus is usually located in the center of the cell, but it is sometimes located in the cytoplasm.

Function of the Cell

• The function of the nucleus in a cell is to control the cell’s activity.

• It helps control eating, movement and reproduction.

If the Cell were a Factory

• If the cell were a factory, the nucleus would act as the main office because this is where all the decisions are made.

Lysosome

What Does it Look Like

Drawing Microscope

What Kind of Cells have the Organelle?

• All Eukaryotic Cells have lysosomes.

Where is the Organelle located in the Cell?

• Lysosomes are located in the Cytoplasm of Eukaryotic Cells.

What is the Function of the Organelle?

• Lysosomes hold enzymes that were produced in the endoplasmic reticulum.

What is it in a Factory?

• Lysosomes act as a storage closet in a factory because they hold enzymes.
