Structure and Function
Function:
Support, Protection and Structure
Found in:
Plants, algae and fungi
Notes:
Made of cellulose (carbohydrate)
Sketch:
Function:
A flexible boundary that controls the
movement of substances into and out of the
cell
Found in:
All Cells
Notes:
Made of phospholipids and proteins
Sketch:
Function:
Jelly-like substance where all chemical
reactions take place
Found in:
All Eukaryotes
Notes:
Takes shape of cell
Lots of nutrients
Salts present for reactions
Function:
Transport of proteins within the cell
(rough and smooth)
Smooth ER enzymes break down substances
Found in:
All eukaryotes
Notes:
Smooth is found in liver to rid harmful
chemicals
Folded to increase surface area
Sketch:
Function:
Flattened stack of folded membranes that
modifies, packages and distributes proteins.
Found in:
All Eukaryotes
Notes:
Proteins are packaged into vesicles
“Post Office” – one side receives, one side ships
Receives proteins from ER
Sketch:
Function:
Digestion within cells
Found in:
Mainly animal cells, rarely in plant cells
Notes:
Membrane bound to keep digestive enzymes in
Formed from Golgi bodies
“Clean up Crew”
Destroys old cells and organelles
Repairs plasma membrane
Sketch:
Function:
Produces peroxide in order to break down a
type of nucleic acid
Found in:
Mainly animal cells
Notes:
Sketch:
Sketch:
Function:
Breaks down organic molecules to release energy
for cellular reactions
“powerhouse of cell”
Found in:
All Eukaryotes
Notes:
Produces ATP – energy molecule
Folded cristae – membranes where ATP is produced
Sketch:
Function:
The control center of the cell
Contains coded directions for the production
of proteins and cell division
Found in:
All Eukaryotes
Notes:
Contains genetic information
Sketch:
Function:

“cilia” or “Flagella” – External movement
(microfilaments and
microtubules)
Sketch:
Function:
Controls photosynthesis
Found in:
Plants and Algae
