Transcript Structure_and_Function_of_Cells
Flagella
STRUCTURE
– Whip-like extension
attached to the cell
FUNCTION
– Allows cell to move
Cilia
STRUCTURE
– Small and thin hair-like
structures surrounding
the cell
FUNCTION
– Helps the cell to move
Red Blood Cell
STRUCTURE
– Small, donut shaped
circles
FUNCTION
– Carries oxygen
throughout the body
Nerve Cell
STRUCTURE
– Cell body with a tail
and finger-like
extensions that branch
off from it
FUNCTION
– Carries messages
throughout the body
Voluntary Muscle Cell
STRUCTURE
– Long, ribbon-like
– Striped
Function
– Shorten and pull to
allow movement
The inside of the Cell
Organelle – the organs of a cell
Place a P next to the organelle that only
exists in a Plant Cell
Place an B next to the organelle that is
found in a plant and animal cell
Nucleus (B)
STRUCTURE
– Large organelle
located in the center
of the cell
FUNCTION
– Controls the cell’s
activities, holds
genetic material (DNA)
Cell Membrane (B)
STRUCTURE
– Semi permeable,
flexible layer
surrounding the cell
FUNCTION
– Allows materials to
pass in and out of the
cell
Cytoplasm (B)
STRUCTURE
– Gel like substance
inside the cell
FUNCTION
– Holds organelles in
place.
Mitochondria (B)
STRUCTURE
– Bean like structure
with inner and outer
membrane
Mitochondria
FUNCTION
– Power house of the
cell – makes ATP from
sugar chemically.
Ribosomes (B)
STRUCTURE
– Dots found in the
cytoplasm and on the
Endoplasmic Reticulum
FUNCTION
– Makes proteins from
Amino Acids.
Vacuole (B)
– Bubbles of liquid found
in the cytoplasm.
– Large in plants
– Small in animals
Plant
Vacuole
Animal
Vacuole
STRUCTURE
FUNCTION
– Liquid storage with
some enzymes
Endoplasmic Reticulum (B)
STRUCTURE
– Network of tubules
FUNCTION
– Transports the
proteins made in the
ribosomes to where
they are needed
(packaged in the Golgi
apparatus)
Chloroplasts (P)
STRUCTURE
– Oval shaped organelle
containing chlorophyll
FUNCTION
– Makes food for the
plant cell through
photosynthesis by
capturing sunlight
Chlorplasts are the
green structures above
Cell Wall (P)
STRUCTURE
– Rigid layer of cellulose
outside cell membrane
FUNCTION
– Supports, protects and
shapes the plant cell.
Cell Wall
Recap
Eukaryotic – with a
nucleus
Prokaryotic –
without a nucleus
Chromosomes
Carries genetic
information in the
nucleus that gets
past on to the next
generation.
