Download A Typical Plant Cell

Cells
Parts of a Plant Cell
Nucleus
Controls all cell
activities
Nucleolus
The nucleolus
produces
ribosomes.
Ribosomes (tiny dots)
Ribosomes make protein.
The ribosomes then move out
of the nucleus to the
endoplasmic reticulum.
Proteins are important
building blocks for all living
things.
Chloroplast
Contain
chlorophyll
which allows
the plant to
make its own
food.
Cell Wall
Framework
for the cell
which
provides
support.
Cell Membrane
Controls
materials going
in and out of
the cell.
Endoplasmic
Reticulum
Network of
tubes which
move materials
around the
inside of the cell.
Golgi Bodies
Packages
materials so they
can be
transported
around the cell.
Mitochondria
Powerhouse of the
cell. Produces
and releases
energy for the
cell.
Vacuole
Stores water and
dissolved
materials.
Cytoplasm
“Soup” that
contains mostly
water and other
materials needed
by the cell.
Lysosome
Destroy worn
out cell parts
Get rid of waste
Protect from
invaders
How are plant and animal cells different?
Vacuoles are larger in
plant cells than in
animal cells.
Animal Cell
Plant Cell
Plant cells have cell walls
and chloroplasts. Animal
cells do not.
Electron Microscope
Streptococcus Bacteria
Red Blood Cells
White blood cell taking care of some
bacteria.
Algae
Moving Amoeba
Ragweed Pollen
Paramecium
Shower Mold
Not Cells but really cool
pictures taken using an
electron microscope.
Pictures have been color
enhanced.
Bed Bug
Garden Spider
Dust Mite
Spinnerettes of a spider
Daphnia
