Cells
The Cell Theory
•All living things are made
of one or more cells,
•The cell is the basic unit of
life.
•All cells come from preexisting (other) cells.
Eukaryotic Organisms
•Are organisms that contain
a nucleus
•Ex: Plants
Animals
Protist
Cell Membrane
Cell Membrane
•The thin, flexible outer
covering of a cell
•It controls what enters
and leaves a cell
Nucleus
Nucleus
• Is the control center of
the cell
• Contains the genetic
material (DNA)
Cytoplasm
Cytoplasm
•The gel-like fluid that
surrounds the organelles
•Essential for many
cellular reactions
•The other organelles are
embedded (stuck) in the
cytoplasm
Mitochondria
Mitochondria
•Produces energy for the
cell
•Called the “powerhouse”
of the cell
Cell Wall
Cell Wall
• Provides support and
shape for plant cells
• Made mostly of
cellulose (protective
framework for the cell)
Vacuole
Vacuole
• Temporary storage center
• Can store water, food,
waste, and other materials
• Plant cells have one
LARGE vacuole
• Animal cells have many
small vacuoles, if any
Chloroplasts
Chloroplast
•Makes food for plant
cells
•Contain chlorophyll
•Site of photosynthesis
Lysosomes
•Digesting certain
materials within the
cell
•Digest food, worn out
organelles, as well as
cellular waste
