What is a Cell?
What is a Cell?
Cells are the basic unit of life and functions of all living things.
Facts about the Animal Cell:
Facts about the Animal Cell:
A plant cell has a rectangular shape because of its cell wall.
A plant cell and a plant have the same color green, because of chloroplast and chlorophyl.
The chloroplast is the organelle (machine) while chlorophyl is the pigment (product).
Organelles
Organelles
Organelles are the structures inside of a cell and each of them have a specific task.
Types of Organelles in a Cell
1. Nucleus
1. Nucleus
A nucleus contains the Genetic Material which is Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) and is the brain of the cell.
2. Centrioles
2. Centrioles
Centrioles have the role in cell division which means multiplying themselves to make more.
3. Mitochondria
3. Mitochondria
Mitochondria is the powerhouse from the cell and it gets its energy from it.
4. Ribosomes
4. Ribosomes
Ribosomes are the organelles that produces proteins.
5. Golgi Apparatus & Vesicles
5. Golgi Apparatus & Vesicles
The Golgi Apparatus & Vesicles has the job to package the proteins.
6. Endoplasmic Reticulum
6. Endoplasmic Reticulum
This has a passage through which proteins are transported.
There are two types which are:
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)
7. Cell Membrane
7. Cell Membrane
The cell membrane surrounds the cell and controls what goes in and out of the cell.
8. Cytoplasm
8. Cytoplasm
It has a matrix that holds the organelles.
Only Things found in Plant Cells
1. Cell Wall
1. Cell Wall
2. Large Central Vacuole
2. Large Central Vacuole
3. Chloroplast
3. Chloroplast
4. Chlorophyl
4. Chlorophyl
5. Starch Granules
5. Starch Granules
Only Things found in Animal Cells
1. Glycogen Granules
2. No Cells Wall
3. Lysosomes - contain digestive enzymes
4. Small Vacuoles
Fact : Enzyme - chemical that breaks down the food.
Another Fact : The difference between the vacuoles in the two cells is their size.
Animal : Small
Plant : Big
