Structure
Function
Type of
cell
eukaryotic
Nucleus
Large, round, contains
DNA (genes)
Controls all cell processes, holds
instructions (genes), “brain” of cell
Nucleolus
Located inside the
nucleus
Produces RNA which helps make
proteins
eukaryotic
Thick liquid, “filler”
Gives cell shape, contains all
organelles, contains reactants for many
chemical reactions needed for cell
survival
ALL
Network of tunnels,
located near
nucleus
Site of lipid synthesis
eukaryotic
Network of tunnels,
located near nucleus,
embedded with
ribosomes
Involved in protein synthesis
eukaryotic
Smallest organelle,
no membrane
Site of proteins synthesis, where
amino acids are assembled into
proteins
Packages cell products
(enzymes, etc) for export from
cell
Site of cellular respiration
(makes ATP)
ALL
Pair of barrel shaped
organelles, always
found in pair
Helps with cell division
(reproduction)
Animal
cells
Lysosome
Round, contains
enzymes
Vesicle
Small, round, can
contain different things
Digests (breaks down) molecules Eukaryotic
Book says
animal only
Varying functions depending on eukaryotic
contents (cell products: enzymes,
Cytoplasm
Endoplasmic
reticulum (ER)SMOOTH
Endoplasmic
reticulum (ER)ROUGH
Ribosomes
Stack of sacs
Golgi body
(apparatus)
Mitochondria
Centrioles
Oval, folded inner
membrane
eukaryotic
eukaryotic
hormones, etc)
Cell Membrane
Cell Wall
Chloroplast
Vacuole
Phospholipids
bilayer with
proteins
Rigid, contains
cellulose
Regulates what enters and leaves
the cell
ALL
Gives plant cells rigid
rectangular shape
Plant,
Bacteria
Oval, contain sacs
of chlorophyll in
stacks
Largest part inside
plant cell.
Site of photosynthesis (conversion
plant
of light energy to glucose )
Storage, primarily of water
