A. CELL THEORY
1) All living things are made
of one or more cells.
2) Cells are the basic
unit of structure and
function in living things.
3) Living cells come
only from other living
cells.

C) ANIMAL VS. PLANT CELLS:

No Cell wall
Small Vacuoles
No Chloroplasts

Cell wall
Large Vacuoles
Large
Chloroplasts

D) SOME CELL TERMS &

STRUCTURES:
1) ORGANELLES:
tiny organs in the cell.
2) CYTOPLASM:
fluid filling inside the cell membrane.
makes up the majority of cells mass.

Organelles

Cytoplasm

3) CELL MEMBRANE
controls movement of materials into and
out of the cell
holds cell together

Cell
membrane

Animal Cell

4) CELL WALL

found in plant cells not animal cells

provides strength and support for plant
cells.
made of cellulose (long chains of sugar
molecules)

E) ORGANELLES OF CELLS:
1) Nucleus:
the control center of the cell
stores DNA
(a) nucleolus - dark spot inside the
nucleus, which makes ribosomes.

(b) nuclear membrane - controls

movement of materials in and
out of nucleus.
(c)

DNA - stores information for

making proteins

2) RIBOSOME
tiny grain like
particles usually
found along the
E.R.

Proteins

Amino acids

3) Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER):

makes lipids
the delivery system of the cell for
compounds such as proteins through its
tubular connections.

chloroplast

4) Mitochondria:
the Power House of the cell
releases energy packets of ATP for use
in the cell.

5) Chloroplast:
Solar Panels for capturing energy
they use energy from sunlight to make
food in plant cells (i.e. glucose).

6) Vacuole:

Plant Cell

Storage Tanks of the cell

store water, food and waste.

Golgi complex

Animal Cell

7) Golgi body:
packages and transports materials out
of the cell.

Vesicle with food

Animal Cell

Lysosome
8) Lysosome:
Clean-up and Recycling Crew
digest food particles, wastes, cell parts,
and foreign invaders.
