Cell Parts

AB
Lysosomesdigests food particles
Golgi Bodiesserves as storage centers for secretory products for the cell, packages protiens
Mitochondriapowerhouse of the cell
Vacuoletemporary storage cavities for water, food, and enzymes
Centriolesstructures used in reproduction (mitosis)
Cytoplasma jelly-like material that lies outside the nucleus
Endoplasmic Reticulumtransport system for the cell
Nucleolusproduces ribosomes
Chromosomesthreadlike structures within the nucleus containing genetic information that is passed from one generation of cells to the next
Ribosomessite of protien synthesis
Chloroplastsstructure that contains chlorophyll
Nuclear Membranesurrounds the nucleus
Nucleuscontains genetic material
Photosynthesischloroplasts convert sunlight into chemical energy this process is called photosynthesis
Cell Theroyall living things are composed of cells, cells are the basic unit of structure and function, and they come from other cells
Rovert Hookenamed the cell
Anton Van Leeuwenhokefirst one to see life in a drop of water
Theodor Schwann(name sounds like swan so think animal) first one to know that all animals contain cells
Matthias Schleidenfirst one to know that all plants contain cells
Rudolph Virchowfirst to discover that all cells come from other cells
What is the simplest type of cell?Prokaryotic (no membrane bound organelles)
what is the most complex type of cell?Eukaryotic (have membrane bound organelles)
What do prokaryotic cells contain?cell membrane, cell wall, DNA, cytoplasm and ribosomes
What is an example of a prokaryotic cell?bacteria cell
What is an example of a eukaryotic cell?fungi, plant, animal, and protist
organellesmall parts of a cell
plastidmolecules that give color
cellulosemakes up the cell wall
ANIMAL CELLSdo not have a cell wall, do not have chloroplasts, small few or no vacuoles, have centroles, have lysosomes
PLANT CELLShave a cell wall, have chloroplasts, one large vacuole, no centrioles, no lysosomes
