Study Notes
Plant and Animal Cell Organelles
- Small vesicles are used for storage of materials.
- Centrioles aid in cell division.
- Chloroplasts, found in plant cells, utilize solar energy to make chemical energy during photosynthesis.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
- Acts as a highway of the cell, transporting materials.
- May or may not have ribosomes attached for protein manufacture.
Golgi Apparatus
- Inspects and packages proteins in vesicles for shipment around and outside the cell.
Lysosomes
- Contain enzymes that aid in disposing of the cell's waste.
Mitochondria
- Converts glucose into a usable form of energy, acting as the cell's powerhouse.
Nucleus and Nucleolus
- The nucleus acts as the cell's control center, storing genetic material.
- The nucleolus manufactures ribosomes.
Vacuoles
- Large vacuoles in plant cells store water and necessities for survival, aiding in cell rigidity.
Cell Analogy
Cell Structure and Function
- The nucleus is like the town hall, holding DNA and providing instructions.
- Mitochondria are like food processing plants, making energy for the cell.
- The Golgi apparatus is like a post office, packaging and delivering proteins.
- The endoplasmic reticulum is like factories making and transporting proteins.
- Ribosomes are like construction sites, manufacturing new proteins.
- Vacuoles are like storage tanks or dumps, storing food, waste, etc.
- The cell membrane is like the city border, regulating what enters and leaves the cell.
- Cytoplasm is like the foundation or land, holding organelles in place and giving the cell structure.
- Chloroplasts are like solar energy plants, where photosynthesis occurs in plants.
- The cell wall is like the city wall, protecting and supporting the cell.
