The Animal CellKey Concept: Eukaryotic cells contain membrane bound organelles • All living things are composed of cells • Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles
Cell Membrane/Plasma Membrane • Barrier to extra-cellular environment • Allows nutrients in and wastes out • Identifies the cell • Receives messages from other cells
Nucleus • Controls the cells activities • Contains the genetic material (DNA) • Surrounded by a nuclear membrane
Nucleolus • Manufactures ribosomes
Nuclear Membrane • Keeps the DNA inside • Allows the RNA to pass into the cell
Cytoplasm • Gel-like fluid that fills the cell • Breaks down some glucose for energy (glycolysis) – not much energy • Filled with free-floating subunits
Mitochondria • Metabolizes glucose for energy – provides a great deal of energy • Has its’ own DNA • Has a double membrane
Endoplasmic Reticulum • Two types of ER • RER (rough endoplasmic reticulum) contains ribosomes • Manufactures and transports proteins • SER (smooth endoplasmic reticulum) has no ribosomes • Manufactures and transports lipids
Ribosome • Makes proteins • Sometimes attached to RER • Sometimes free-floating in the cytoplasm
Golgi Apparatus • Packages proteins • Modifies proteins • Prepares them for export to the organism outside the cell
Vesicle • Transports proteins to and from the Golgi apparatus
Lysosome • Digests worn out organelles • Destroys infected or un-necessary cells • Contains digestive enzymes
Centriole • The centriole is found only in animal cells • It is involved in cell division
Plant Cells • Plant cells have many of the same organelles as animals cells
Plant Cells Have 2 Extra Organelles • Outside the cell membrane, plants have a cell wall • Plants have large central vacuoles • Plants have chloroplasts to convert sunlight to glucose
Chloroplasts • Use CO2, H2O and sunlight to produce Carbohydrates • Releases O2 • Contains double membrane • Has its’ own DNA
Chloroplast • Chlorophyll does the work • Chlorophyll is located in the thylakoid stacks • Thylakoid stacks are called granum
Shape and Support • Made of cellulose (an indigestible form of carbohydrate) • Found just outside the plasma membrane
Transport Into & Out of the Cell • Materials move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration • This is called diffusion
