ANIMAL CELL
CELL MEMBRANE
STRUCTURE
• Surrounds the cell
FUNCTION
• Holds contents of cell inside
(like skin)
• Keeps harmful substances
out
• Controls what enters and
leaves
• Water, oxygen, and
nutrients are allowed to
enter
• Waste products are allowed
to exit
CYTOPLASM
STRUCTURE
• Clear, thick, jelly-like fluid
(like Jell-o)
FUNCTION
• Chemical reactions take
place here
• Cytoskeleton in the
cytoplasm helps the cell
maintain or change its
shape (just like your
skeleton)
NUCLEUS
STRUCTURE
• Round
• Contains the DNA, which is
long, thin threads of genetic
material
FUNCTION
• Control center- directs all
cell activities (like a brain)
MITOCHONDRIA
STRUCTURE
• Bean shaped
• Each cell has many
mitochondria
• Active cells have more
mitochondria than less
active cells
FUNCTION
• Powerhouse of the cell
• Release chemical energy
from food
VACUOLE
STRUCTURE
• Animal cell has many
• Small, round
FUNCTION
• Storage compartment
• Holds food and water for
the cell
PLANT CELL
CELL WALL
STRUCTURE
• Tough, rigid outer covering
(like a wall to a building)
FUNCTION
• Protects the cell
• Gives the cell shape (plants
do not have a skeleton like
animals)
CELL MEMBRANE
STRUCTURE
• Surrounds the cell
• Inside the cell wall
FUNCTION
• Holds contents of cell inside
(like skin)
• Keeps harmful substances
out
• Controls what enters and
leaves
• Water, oxygen, and
nutrients are allowed to
enter
• Waste products are allowed
to exit
CYTOPLASM
STRUCTURE
• Clear, thick, jelly-like fluid
(like Jell-o)
FUNCTION
• Chemical reactions take

• Cytoskeleton in the
cytoplasm helps the cell

NUCLEUS
STRUCTURE
• Round
• Contains the DNA, which is
long, thin threads of genetic
material
FUNCTION
• Control center- directs all
cell activities (like a brain)
WATER VACUOLE
STRUCTURE
• Plant cell has 1-2
• Very large
FUNCTION
• Storage compartment
• Holds water for the cell
• Helps to support the plant
CHLOROPLASTS
STRUCTURE
FUNCTION
• Green (contains chlorophyll)
• Bean shaped
• Photosynthesis- makes food
for plants
MITOCHONDRIA
STRUCTURE
• Bean shaped
FUNCTION
• Release chemical energy
stored from photosynthesis
