Plant and Animal Cell Organelle functions and definitions

Cell organelles surrounded by two membranes that break down food molecules to make ATP (they make energy for the cells)

• Golgi Bodies (Complex)

• Endoplasmic Reticulum 

  (both smooth and rough)

• Ribosomes

• Mitochondria

NGSS.MS-LS1-7

The cell organelle that modifies, packages, and transports material out of the cell

• Vacuole

• Golgi Bodies (Complex)

• Ribosomes

• Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

A large membrane covered structure that serves as a storage container for water and other liquids.  Larger in plant cells than in animal cells

• vacuole

• lysosome

• cytoplasm

• nucleus

A phospholipid layer that covers a cell’s surface and acts as a barrier between the inside of a cell and the cell’s environment

• Cell Wall

• Mitochondria

• Cell Membrane

• Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

A special vesicle in a cell that digests food particles, wastes, and foreign invaders

• Lysosomes

• Ribosomes

• Cytoplasm

• Chloroplasts

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Cellular fluid surrounding a cell’s organelles

• Cell Wall

• Chloroplasts

• Cystoplasm

• Chromosomes

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

The membrane covered organelle found in eukaryotic cells; contains the cell’s DNA and serves as a control center for the cell.

• Nucleus

• Nucleolus

• Chromosomes

• Cell Membrane

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

A coiled structure of DNA and protein that forms in the cell nucleus during cell division.  Commonly shown as X-shaped.

• Cell Wall

• Chloroplasts

• Cystoplasm

• Chromosomes
