Title: Cell Wall


1
(No Transcript)
2
Cell Wall
  • Only found surrounding PLANT, fungal, and
    bacterial cells
  • Made of cellulose
  • Is rigid, strong, and stiff
  • Provides support and protection for the cell

3
Cell Membrane
  • Surrounds all cells
  • Lies beneath cell wall in plant cells
  • Outer boundary in animal cells (made of
    cholesterol)
  • Provides cell with
  • Protection
  • Control of movement of material in/out of cell
  • Support
  • Maintains condition of cell

4
Nucleus
  • Identified in 1833 by Robert Brown
  • Found in both plant and animal cells
  • Large, oval shape covered by a nuclear membrane
  • Centrally located in cell
  • Contains the nucleolus
  • Controls cell activities
  • Contains genetic information (DNA)

5
Cytoplasm
  • Found in both plant and animals cells
  • Clear, thick, jelly-like material
  • Located beneath cell membrane
  • Supports and protects cell organelles

6
Golgi Apparatus
  • Discovered in 1898 by Camillo Golgi
  • Found in both plant and animal cells
  • Looks like a flattened stack of membranes (or
    pancakes!)
  • Processes and packages molecules, like lipids and
    proteins, that were made by the cell

7
Endoplasmic Reticulum
  • Found in both plant and animal cells
  • Network of tubes
  • Transports material throughout the cell
  • Two types
  • Smooth (no ribosomes)
  • Rough (covered with ribosomes)

8
Ribosomes
  • Found in both plant and animal cells
  • Can be attached to the Endoplasmic Membrane or
    floating free in the cytoplasm
  • Produces proteins (energy)
  • The smallest organelles

9
Mitochondria
  • Found in both plant and animal cells
  • Looks like a jellybean
  • Breaks down sugar molecules to release usable
    energy
  • Has inner foldings (called cristae) that increase
    the internal surface area

10
Vacuoles
  • Found in both plant and animal cells
  • Very few and very large in plant cells
  • Many and very small in animal cells
  • Fluid-filled sacs
  • Store food, water, and waste

11
Lysosomes
  • Found in animal cells only
  • Small and round in shape
  • Breaks down larger food molecules into smaller
    ones
  • Digests old cell parts

12
Chloroplasts
  • Found in plant cells only
  • Oval-shaped
  • Green in color due to chlorophyll
  • Uses energy from the sun to make food for the
    plant
