Cell Structure

Cell Structure

1. Animal Cell -

   • -Nucleus -Cell Membrane -Cytoplasm -Mitochondria -Ribosomes
     • Nucleus - Contains genetic info, controls all functions of cell. Cell Membrane - controls what enters and leaves the cell. Cytoplasm - Where many cell activities and reactions happen. Mitochondria - provides energy for aerobic respiration. Ribosomes - Make proteins, site of protein synthesis

2. Plant Cell

   • -Nucleus -Cell Membrane -Cytoplasm -Mitochondria -Ribosomes -Chloroplasts -Vacuole -Cell Wall
     • Chloroplast - Where photosynthesis occurs. Vacuole - Used to store water and other chemicals as cell sap (sugary water). Cell Wall - Strengthens and supports the cell (made of cellulose in plants)

3. Fungal Cell

   • -Nucleus -Cell Membrane -Cytoplasm -Mitochondria -Ribosomes -Cell Wall
     • Cell Wall - Strengthens and supports the cell.

4. Bacterial Cell

   • -Cell Membrane -Cytoplasm -Ribosomes -Cell Wall -DNA Loop -Plasmid
     • DNA Loop - A loop of DNA. NOT in the Nucleus. Plasmid - A small circle of DNA, may contain genes associated with antibiotic resistance
