For movement.

For cellular

communication.

Contains genetic

code (DNA).

Protection from

predators (WBC).

Structure/Support.

Contains everything,

regulates in/out.

Where proteins are

made.

Z

Don’t forget, Cytoskeleton

Animal Cell

J. Nucleus - contains DNA with coded instructions giving cells unique characteristics.

D. Nucleolus – Inside the Nucleus, makes ribosomes.

E. Nuclear Envelope(membrane) - surrounds nucleus - has pores to allow materials in and

out.

H. Ribosomes - site of protein synthesis (follows instructions from nucleus).

All the little black dots are Ribosomes!

A. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) -transport & modification of proteins.

Like UPS of the cell!

C. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) -lipid synthesis, used in detoxification in

liver, & release calcium for muscle contraction.

G. Golgi Apparatus - Packaging macromolecules for transport elsewhere

in the cell.

Z. Lysosomes - Filled with enzymes for intracellular digestion, only in ANIMALS.(bacteria, worn-out organelles, food, even

the cell they are in!)

This is how a tadpole looses

its tail.

F. Mitochondria - Provides the energy a cell needs to move, divide, etc.

(powerhouse of the cell)

1000 per cell!!

I. Plasma Membrane - Protective, flexible barrier between the cell and its environment— regulates what goes

in and out.

B. Cytosol—the fluid inside cell.Cytoplasm = (Cytosol + organelles inside)

The area between the

nucleus (and all other organelles)

and the cell membrane.

Cytoskeleton – maintains cell shape – also moves organelles around internally,

only in Animals.

K. Chloroplasts - Contain chlorophyll and use the energy from the sun to make

food (photosynthesis)

Cell Wall - Provides and maintains shape of plant cells - STRONG

(contains cellulose)

Vacuoles - Stores materials like water, food, other nutrients and waste products

(larger in plants)
