Study Notes

Animal Cell Facts

  • Defined by Schwann, all animals are composed of cells.
  • Contains centrioles essential for cell division, absent in plant cells.
  • Characteristically oval in shape.
  • Structure comprises a cell membrane, lacking a cell wall.
  • Humans are composed of animal cells since they fall under the animal kingdom.
  • Features small vacuoles for storing water and other substances.
  • Mitochondria convert oxygen into usable energy for the cell.
  • Size varies from approximately 1 to 100 micrometers.
  • Classified as eukaryotic cells with a defined nucleus.
  • Reproduces through mitosis, ensuring genetic continuity.
  • Originates from pre-existing animal cells, indicating cellular lineage.
  • Capable of self-destruction via apoptosis if dysfunction occurs.
  • Cytoplasm maintains cell shape and houses the cytoskeleton.
  • Nucleus can occupy any position within the cell.
  • Ribosomes synthesize proteins, essential for cellular function.
  • Ribosomes may be attached to the endoplasmic reticulum or free-floating.
  • Nucleolus within the nucleus produces ribosomal RNA.
  • Lysosomes play a critical role in eliminating harmful bacteria.
  • Nucleus holds all genetic material (DNA) for cellular functions.
  • Chromatin refers to the form of DNA stored in the nucleus.
  • Golgi apparatus is responsible for transporting and packaging cellular components.
  • Smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks ribosomes and functions in lipid synthesis.
  • Fundamental to all animals, supporting various physiological functions.
  • Nuclear envelope secures the nucleus and nucleolus position.

Plant Cell Facts

  • Plant cells have a distinctive rectangular shape.
  • Essential structural unit for all plants with specific functions.
  • Contains chloroplasts that convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis.
  • Surrounded by a protective cell wall that maintains shape and integrity.
  • Beneath the cell wall lies the cell membrane, regulating substance movement.
  • Typically features a single large vacuole occupying significant cell space.
  • Involved in synthesizing sugars and carbohydrates crucial for plant life.
  • Contributes to the availability of food resources for humans, e.g., potatoes and green beans.
  • Requires sunlight exposure for growth and energy conversion processes.
  • Shares similarities with animal cells, notably mitochondria, cell membrane, and cytoplasm.
  • Cytoplasm stabilizes organelles within the cell.
  • Contains ribosomes for protein production, necessary for growth and repair.
  • The endoplasmic reticulum aids in intracellular transportation.
  • Features two types of endoplasmic reticulum: smooth and rough, each serving distinct functions.
  • Golgi apparatus also present for cellular transport and packaging duties.
  • Mitochondria convert chemical energy into utilize energy forms for cell activity.
  • Nucleus serves as the control center, housing DNA essential for cell regulation.
  • Nucleolus found within the nucleus is involved in RNA synthesis, crucial for protein synthesis.
