    The document summarizes the key organelles and structures found within cells. It describes the cell membrane, cell wall, mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, lysosomes, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, vacuoles, cytoskeleton, nucleus, peroxisomes. Many of these structures, like the mitochondria, ribosomes, Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum, are found in both plant and animal cells, while others, like the cell wall and chloroplasts, are unique to plant cells. The organelles work together to carry out essential functions required for cellular processes like respiration, photosynthesis, protein synthesis, and waste removal.

    Cell Membrane

    A sandwiched double layer of phospholipids, called a plasma membrane or phospholipid bilayer

    Separates the cell from its surroundings.

    Controls cellular traffic acts as the gatekeeper, regulating what can come in and go out, so as to maintain homeostasis

    Also integrates many different kinds of proteins and signaling molecules

    Found in BOTH plants and animals

    Cell Wall
    Provides support and protection Surrounds the cell membrane Allows some things to pass through Made of cellulose

    Found in plants, fungi, and some bacteria. NOT FOUND in animal cells!

    MITOCHONDRIA
    (singular: mitochondrion)
    Cellular powerhouse Changes chemical energy from food into another form of energy, called ATP, which can be used by the body. This process is called cellular respiration. Has two membranes

    Has some of its own DNA (different from nuclear DNA)

    Found in BOTH plants and animals

    CHLOROPLASTS
    Cellular powerhouses for plants Converts sunlight and CO2 into food for the plant (sugars), through the process of photosythesis Has three membranes

    Made of components called stroma and granum. Stroma: spaces inside the chloroplasts that contain a protein-containing fluid Granum: stacked disks that contain chlorophyll, the substance that gives plants their green color

    Found in ONLY plants and green algae

    RIBOSOME
    NOT an organelle, but rather a large conglomeration of RNA and protein Where protein is made (through a process called protein synthesis) Composed of RNA and proteins Made in the nucleolus

    Some are attached to the Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and others are floating freely around the cell

    Found in BOTH plants and animals

    LYSOSOMES
    Small organelles filled with digestive enzymes Responsible for breaking down the cellular junk Like clean-up crews or the Pac Man of the cell

    Found in BOTH plants and animals

    GOLGI
    APPARATUS
    Look like stacks of pancakes They modify, sort, and package proteins Particularly important for proteins that are going to be secreted from the cell

    Found in BOTH plants and animals

    ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM (ER)


    Materials are transported from the nucleus by a system of channels or canals called the endoplasmic reticulum Many materials also receive significant modification and/or preparation for their final purpose Smooth ER has no ribosomes attached Rough ER has ribosomes attached

    Rough ER

    Smooth ER

    Found in BOTH plants and animals

    VACUOLE
    Membrane-bound sacs that contain a variety of different materials such as: Food Water Waste Plants have larger vacuoles than animals do They provide storage, support, and homeostasis

    Found in BOTH plants and animals

    CYTOSKELETON
    Provides shape and support for the cell Like the scaffolding that holds up a tent Made of microtubules and microfilaments Things move along the cytoskeleton within the cell

    Found in BOTH plants and animals

    NUCLEUS

    Its the large, dark, circular body in cells

    The nucleus is the control center of the cell Presence or absence of a nucleus divides organisms into two primary categories: 1. PROKARYOTES- dont have a nucleus, or any membrane-bound organelles for that matter! THEY DO HAVE DNA THOUGH!!! 2. EUKARYOTES- have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

    Found in BOTH plants and animals

    Parts of the nucleus: 1. NUCLEAR ENVELOPE: Two membranes surrounding the nucleus 2. NUCLEAR PORES: passageways in and out of the nucleus formed by protein(s) 3. CHROMOSOMES: DNA attached to special proteins, large structures. 4. NUCLEOLUS: see separate slide

    PEROXISOME
    Contain chemicals and enzymes that are important in metabolic pathways Particularly important in breaking down long fatty acid chains, either to extract energy, or to create intermediate length fatty acid chains for use elsewhere in the cell Some have a crystallized core due to the density of enzymes present

    Found in BOTH plants and animals
