Cell Parts &
Organelles
Cell or Plasma
Membrane
Function(s)
Animal
Plant
Bacteria
APB
maintains homeostasis (like a gate)
Cell Wall
PB
supports and protects the cell (like the wall of a house)
Cytoplasm
APB
Nucleus
AP
Nucleolus
AP
site of protein synthesis, suspends all of the organelles in the
cell (like Jell-O or a factory)
control center of the cell, contains the directions to make
proteins
(like a boss or the president)
makes ribosomes (like a factory machine)
Endoplasmic
Reticulum-ER
AP
Rough ER: site of protein synthesis; Smooth ER: site of lipid and
steroid synthesis
Ribosomes
APB
Golgi Apparatus
AP
make proteins; can be found free in the cytoplasm or attached to
rough ER
modifies, sorts, and packs proteins into vesicles
Vesicle
APB
sacs that transport materials to all parts of the cell
Vacuoles
APB
temporary storage site for various materials
Lysosomes
AP
Mitochondria
AP
gets rid of all cell waste because they contain digestive enzymes
that breakdown material
powerhouse of the cell, makes energy; has a double membrane
Chloroplast
P
Cytoskeleton
AP
Microtubules &
Microfilaments
AP
make up the cytoskeleton; tubes and fibers of proteins
Centrioles and
Centrosomes
Flagella
A/AP
play a role in cell division; centrioles (A) and centrosomes (A & P)
AB
aid in locomotion and feeding; long, whip-like; usually found on
unicellular organisms
Cilia
AB
Pili
B
aid in locomotion and feeding; short, hair-like projections; usually
found on unicellular organisms
Used for sexual reproduction
produces food: captures light energy and converts it into chemical
energy
forms the framework of the cell, highway system of the cell;
made up of microfilaments & microtubules
