Cell Membrane
Cytoplasm
Cytoskeleton
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Form
Protective outer covering of all
cells that is made of a double
layer of fat
Semi- fluid substance (think JellO) found inside the cell
Make up internal framework of
cell
Folded membranes with No
ribosomes
Golgi Bodies
Folded membrane with ribosomes
attached
Stacked flattened membranes
Nucleus
Nucleolus
Nuclear Membrane
Contains heredity material
Inside nucleus
Surrounds nucleus
Mitochondria
Vesicle
Peanut shaped, outer membrane,
smooth with inner folded
membrane
Small bodies that can move freely
in cytoplasm
Membrane bound structure
Vacuole
Fluid- filled sac
Lysosome
Small and round with single
membrane, contain digestive
chemicals
Ribosome
Function
Animal/ Plant Cell
Regulates the interaction
between cell and its environment
Both
Encases, cushions and protects
the internal organelles
Gives cell its shape
Both
Materials are processed and
moved around inside of cell
Processes other cellular
substances
Makes proteins
Both
Sort and package proteins and
other cellular substances
Controls all cell activities
Makes ribosomes
Controls the movement of
materials in and out of nucleus
Breaks down food to release
energy
Both
Site where proteins are made
Both
Deliver cellular substances, carry
cellular substances to cell
membrane to be released outside
the cell
Store water, waste, food and
other cellular materials
Break down large food molecules,
waste and worn out parts

Cell Organelles
Cell Wall
Chloroplast
Chlorophyll
Tough, rigid outer covering
surrounding the plant cell
Elongated or disc shaped
organelle containing chlorophyll
Green pigment, inside chloroplast
Gives cell its structure and
support
Site of photosynthesis
Plant cell only
Molecule that can use light
energy from sunlight to turn
water and carbon dioxide gas into
sugar and oxygen
