Question Answer
Mitochondria Plant and Animal cell The cells powerhouse converts food into ATP molecules different amounts of mitochondria in each cell
Chloroplast Plant Cells photosynthesis takes place sun energy is converted into chemical energy chemical energy used to make carbohydrates contain tiny pigments called chlorophylls
Vesicles Animal and plant cell stores and transports products made by the cell deliver materials through the cell that process is called exocytosis
Vacuole Plant Cells contains large amount of water stores materials such as; sugar, ions and pigments
Cytoplasm Plant and animal cells contains mostly water
Phospholipids Animal and plant cell made of fatty acid blocks two parts; hydrophilic head: likes water hydrophobic: dislikes water
Channels/Pores Animal and plant cells inside the plasma membrane made of certain proteins controls movement of molecules such as food and water directs it into the cell
Nucleus Animal and plant cell controls the center of the cell large, and contains a DNA DNA; contains all the information for the cell to live, reproduce and perform their funktions nucleolus; makes ribosomes
Rough ER and Smooth ER Animal and plant cell Ribosomes attached= Rough ER Not attached= Smooth ER synthesize lipids in the cell detoxification of harmful substances in the cell
Ribosomes Animal and plant cells help synthesis of proteins made up of 2 subunits (large, small) RNA make proteins
Golgi Complex Animal and plant cell sorts and ships proteins if making a mistake, parts of the cell could stop working
Cell wall and Plasmodesmata Plant cells protection and support mostly made of cellulose materials can't get through cell walls Plasmodesmata; communicate and transports materials through the cell wall
Peroxisomes Animal and plant cells collect chemicals break down chemicals which are toxic to the cell
Centrioles Animal cells come into action when the cells divide helps organizing chromosomes
Lysosomes Animal Cells created by the Golgi apparatus break down large molecules into smaller pieces
Cytoskeleton Animal and plant cells made up of filaments and tubules helps shape and support the cell helps things move around the cell found throughout the entire cell
