Plant Animal Cell
Plant and Animal Cell Parts and Functions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cell Wall | a thin membrane around the cytoplasm of a cell |
| Chloroplast | an organelle found in plant and algae cells containing chlorophyll, where photosynthesis occurs |
| Centrioles | organelles made of microtubules involved in cell division |
| Golgi Apparatus | organelle that modifies, sorts, and packages products from the endoplasmic reticulum |
| Centrosome | microtubule-organizing center |
| Cilia | short, hair-like structures that enable movement of cells |
| Flagellum | a long, whiplike structure that helps a cell to move |
| Lysosomes | An organelle containing digestive enzymes |
| Peroxisomes | organelle containing enzymes used to break down hydrogen peroxide |
| Mitochondria | Powerhouse of the cell, site of cellular respiration |
| Nucleus | a part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction |
| Nucleolus | structure inside the nucleus, where ribosomes are made |
| Ribosomes | site of protein synthesis |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | Ribosome studded organelle. site of protein synthesis and transport |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | No ribosomes, site of lipid synthesis |
| Vacuole | membrane-bound storage for food, water, minerals, waste |
| Central Vacuole | membrane bound sac in mature plant cell with roles in reproduction, growth, and development. |
| Plasma Membrane | a thin membrane around the cytoplasm of a cell. controls passage of substances in and out of the cell |
