Study Notes
Vacuoles
- Store materials such as food, enzymes, and waste products.
- Present in both animal and plant cells.
Chloroplasts
- Unique to plant cells, containing flattened sacs (thylakoids).
- Contains chlorophyll for trapping sunlight energy and giving plants their green color.
Ribosomes
- Sites of protein synthesis, small organelles found on the endoplasmic reticulum.
- Present in both animal and plant cells.
Nucleus
- Control center of eukaryotic cells, managing all cell functions.
- Found in both animal and plant cells.
Lysosomes
- Digest excess or worn-out cell parts, food particles, and pathogens like viruses and bacteria.
- Play a role in the metabolism of digestion in both animal and plant cells.
Vesicles
- Transport materials within the cell and facilitate excretion by removing wastes.
- Found in both animal and plant cells.
Cell Wall
- Provides a firm and protective structure, maintaining cell shape in plants, fungi, bacteria, and some protists.
- Unique to plant cells.
Mitochondria
- Generate usable energy for the cell through respiration processes.
- Present in both animal and plant cells.
Golgi Apparatus
- Involved in packaging and transporting proteins out of the cell.
- Found in both animal and plant cells.
Cell Membrane
- Biological membrane encasing the cell, composed of a phospholipid bilayer.
- Facilitates ingestion processes (intake of food) in both animal and plant cells.
Cytoskeleton
- Provides structural support and shape to the cell.
- Present in both animal and plant cells.
Chromatin
- Collection of DNA found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, vital for genetic information.
- Located in both animal and plant cells.
Cilia
- Small, hair-like structures that assist in movement or sensing environmental changes.
Flagella
- Longer, whip-like structures that enable movement.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
- Present in both animal and plant cells, involved in protein and lipid synthesis.
