Cytoskeleton
To Animal Cell
Centriole
Structure
• Barrel-shaped
made up of 9
microtubules
• Usually found
in only animal
cells
Back to Animal Cell
Function
• Organizes
spindle fibers
used during
cell division
Back to Plant Cell
Mitochondria
Structure
• Double
Membrane
– Outer is
smooth
– Inner cristae is
folded to
increase
surface area
Back to Animal Cell
Function
• Powerhouse of
the cell
– Site of cellular
respiration
– Breaks down
glucose to
Produce ATP
Back to Plant Cell
Golgi Body
Structure
• Stacks of
membranes
and sacs in
cytoplasm
Back to Animal Cell
Function
• Packages
macromolecules
for transport
Back to Plant Cell
Rough Endoplasmic
Reticulum
Structure
• Vesicles and
tubules
covered with
ribosomes
Back to Animal Cell
Function
• Transports
proteins made
on its surface
Back to Plant Cell
Nuclear Membrane
Structure
• Lipid bilayer
containing
many openings
(pores)
Back to Animal Cell
Function
• Separates the
chromatin from
the rest of the
cell
• Pores allow
material to
enter and leave
the nucleus
Back to Plant Cell
Ribosomes
Structure
• “Packets” of
RNA.
Function
• Site of protein
synthesis
– Made up of a
large and a
small subunit
Back to Animal Cell
Back to Plant Cell
Cell Membrane
Structure
• Phospholipid
bilayer
Back to Animal Cell
Function
• Regulates what
enters & leaves
the cell
Back to Plant Cell
Smooth Endoplasmic
Reticulum
Structure
• Vesicles and
tubules NOT
covered with
ribosomes
Back to Animal Cell
Function
• Many different
functions
depending on
the type of cell
• Generally –
transports large
molecules
around the cell
Back to Plant Cell
Lysosome
Structure
• Spherical body
in the
cytoplasm
• Usually found
in animal cells
Back to Animal Cell
Function
• Storage of
digestive
enzymes (for
digesting food
or worn out cell
parts)
Back to Plant Cell
Cytoplasm
Structure
• Made up of the
cytosol (liquid
within the cell)
and all of the
organelles
Back to Animal Cell
Function
• Site of
glycolysis
(breaking down
glucose
molecules)
Back to Plant Cell
Chromatin
Structure
• “Unwound”
chromosomes
(DNA)
Back to Animal Cell
Function
• Instructions for
producing all of
the body’s
proteins
(enzymes)
Back to Plant Cell
Nucleolus
Structure
• Spherical body
found in the
nucleus
Back to Animal Cell
Function
• Produces
ribosomes
Back to Plant Cell
Nucleus
Structure
• Large
membrane
bound
organelle
Back to Animal Cell
Function
• Directs cellular
activity
Back to Plant Cell
Vacuole
Structure
• Membrane
bound
organelle
• Large in plants
and fungi very
small or absent
in bacteria,
protists, or
animal cells
Back to Animal Cell
Function
• Storage of
water, digestive
enzymes,
wastes and
food
Back to Plant Cell
Cell Wall
Structure
• Layers of
cellulose,
pectin and
lignin,
surrounding
plant, bacteria
and fungi cells.
Back to Animal Cell
Function
• Protection and
support
Back to Plant Cell
Chloroplast
Structure
• Double
membrane
spherical body
containing
structures
called
thylakoids
• Found in plants
and algae
Back to Animal Cell
Function
• Site of
photosynthesis
(glucose
production)
Back to Plant Cell

microtubules
and
microfilaments
Back to Animal Cell
Function
• Support and
aid in transport
within the cell

Cell Coloring Instructions:
Use the following color coding according to the
functions of the cell organelles. Full credit (50
points!) includes:
1) Correct coloring,
2) List what each color represents,
3) List of the organelles and their functions.
RED - Energy (Animal: Mitochondria; Plants:
Mitochondria and Chloroplasts)
YELLOW - Protein Preparation (Animal/Plant: Golgi,
Rough-ER, Smooth-ER, Ribosomes, Nucleolous,
Nuclear Membrane).
BLUE - Genetic Information (Animal/Plant: Nucleus,
Chromatin)
GREEN - Waste (Animal: Change the Vacuole's
name into Lysozome; Plant: Vacuole).
BROWN - Physical Support (Animal: Draw
Cytoskeleton elements, such as rods and branches;
Plants: Cell Wall).
Cytoplasm, Cell Membrane - are involved in nearly
ALL of these processes. Leave uncolored (or add a
very light background color).
