Cell Diagrams and Organelle Chart
Organelle Nucleus
_________________________________Cell Function (Note any differences between the organelle in plant and animal cells here) Control center of the cell Plant, Animal, or Both Both
Organelle Mitochondrion
_________________________________Cell Function (Note any differences between the organelle in plant and animal cells here) Breaks down food to produce energy Storage of materials for the cell; very large in plant cells and smaller in animal cells Supports the cell Plant, Animal, or Both Both
Nucleolus Cytosol/ Cytoplasm Centriole Golgi Apparatus Lysosome Cell Membrane
Produces ribosomes
Both
Vacuole
Both
Material within the cell; where most metabolism occurs
Both
Cell Wall
Plant
Part of the cytoskeleton; gives support to the cell Processes and transports proteins Digests food particles, wastes, and old cell parts; common in animal cells, but uncommon in plant cells Controls what goes in and out of the cell
Animal Both
Chloroplast Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Ribosome
Gives plants their green color; where photosynthesis happens
Plant
Makes lipids; breaks down toxins
