Parts of the Cell Plant and Animal

1
Parts of the CellPlant and Animal
2
The Nucleus

• Almost all cells have a nucleus. The nucleus
  directs all of the cells activities, including
  reproduction.

3
Cell Membrane

• Since an animal cell does not have a cell wall,
  the cell membrane forms a barrier between the
  cytoplasm and the environment outside the cell
  however, plants have a cell membrane as well.
  The cell membrane protects the cell and regulates
  what substances enter and leave the cell.

4
Cell Wall

• In a plant cell a stiff, rigid wall surrounds the
  cell membrane, giving the cell its box-like shape.

5
Cytoplasm

• The cytoplasm is the area between the cell
  membrane and the nucleus. It contains a gel like
  fluid in which many different organelles are
  found.

6
Golgi Body

• The golgi bodies receive materials from the
  endoplasmic reticulum and send them to other
  parts of the cell. They also release materials
  outside the cell.

7
Endoplasmic Reticulum

• This network of passageways carries materials
  from one part of the cell to another.

8
Ribosomes

• These small structures function as factories to
  produce proteins. Ribosomes may be attached to
  the outer surface of the endoplasmic reticulum,
  or they may float free in the cytoplasm.

9
Lysosomes

• These small organelles are found in many animal
  and plant cells and contain chemicals that break
  down food particles and worn out cell parts.

10
Vacuole

• Most mature plant cells have one large vacuole,
  while animal cells have a smaller vacuole. This
  sac within the cytoplasm stores water, food,
  waste products, and other materials.

11
Chloroplasts

• These organelles capture energy from sunlight and
  use it to produce food for the cell.

12
Mitochondria

• Most of the cells energy is produced within
  these rod-shaped organelles.
