Parts and jobs of plant and animal cells.
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Nucleus | It directs all of the cell's activities, including reproduction in both the animal and plant cells. |
Cytoplasm | It is a gel-like fluid in which many different organelles are found. It is in both plant and animal cells. |
Ribosomes | They are small structures that function as factories to produce proteins. They may be attached to the endoplasmic reticulum or they may float in the cytoplasm. |
Golgi Body | It receives materials from the endoplasmic reticulum and sends them to other parts of the cell. They also release materials outside the cell. |
Mitochondria | Most of the cell's energy is produced within these rod-shaped organelles. |
Cell Membrane | It protects the cell and regulates what substances enter and leave the cell. |
Vacuole | Most mature plant cells have one large vacuole. This sac within the cytoplasm stores water, food, waste products and other materials. |
Chloroplasts | These organelles capture energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell. |
Cell Wall | In a plant cell, a stiff wall surrounds the membrane, giving the cell a rigid, boxlike shape. |
Endoplasmic Reticulum | This network of passageways carries materials from one part of the cell to another. |
Lysosomes | These small organelles contain chemicals that break down food particles and worn-out cell parts. |
