Plant an animal cell
Made for 7th and up
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Cytoplasm | fluid that fills cells- gel like materiel- they are suspended in fluid- Molecules such as enzymes, fatty acids, sugars, and amino acids are dissolved in the cytoplasm- found in both plant and animal cells |
| Cell membrane | Outer boundary of the cell- the outer boundary of the cell that only allows for certain materials to go into and out of the cell- also called the plasma membrane - found in both plant and animal cells |
| Nucleus | Brain of the cell- contains most of the cell's genetic material- the nucleus also coordinates everything- the nuclear envelope surrounds the nucleus- found in both plant and animal cells |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | a part of (or a region in the) endoplasmic reticulum that is tubular and lacks ribosomes- found in both plant and animal cells |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | where Proteins bind to the reticulum The RER is associated with many roles in protein synthesis, which also include post-translational modifications, folding, and sorting.- found in both plant and animal cells |
| Mitochondrion | The powerhouse of the cell- cellular respiration takes place here- Mitochondria are very important to make energy for the cell- found in both plant and animal cells |
| Vacuole | Storage areas of the cell- storage sacs store water and waste- there can be several small vacuoles in animal cells and several large vacuoles in plant cells- found in both plant and animal cells |
| Ribosomes | protein factories- composed of RNA and protein- they are the site of protein synthesis- found in both plant and animal cells |
| Golgi Apparatus | Shipping and recieving center- process proteins and other molecules and move some of them out of the cell- works closely with the ER mainly the RER- found in both plant and animal cells |
| Lysosomes | Digestion Machines- they digest things and brea them down- these parts can be recycled and used by the cell- found in both plant and animal cells |
| Chloroplasts | food factories of the cell- make food- go through photosynthesis- green because of chlorophyll- found in plant cells only |
| Centrioles | helps the cell when its time to divide- function is to assist the cell when its time to divide- normally four by the nucleus- they combine the centrosome- found in animal cells only |
| Cell wall | support gor cell structure- cell wall on the outside of the cell membrane- found in plant cells only |
