Cell Structure and Function

The document describes the structure and function of various cell organelles found in plant, animal, fungi, and bacterial cells. It notes that plant, fungi, and bacterial cells contain a cell wall not found in animal cells. It provides details on the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, nucleus, vacuoles, chloroplasts, and other organelles, describing their roles in functions like protein synthesis, cellular respiration, and photosynthesis. The cytoskeleton is also mentioned as providing structure and assisting in movement of organelles within the cell.

CELL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION Cell Wall Plant, Fungi, & Bacteria, but not animal cells

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) All cells except prokaryotes

Outer layer Rigid & strong Made of cellulose

Network of tubes or membranes Smooth w/o ribosomes Rough with embedded ribosomes Connects to nuclear envelope & cell membrane Carries materials through cell Aids in making proteins Ribosome All cells

Support (grow tall) Protection allows H2O, O2, CO2 to diffuse in & out of cell Cell Membrane All cells

Small bodies free or attached to ER Made of rRNA & protein Synthesizes proteins Mitochondrion All cells except prokaryotes

Plant - inside cell wall Animal - outer layer; cholesterol Double layer of phospholipids with proteins Selectively permeable Support Protection Controls movement of materials in/out of cell Barrier between cell and its environment Maintains homeostasis Nucleus All cells except prokaryotes

Peanut shaped Double membrane Outer membrane smooth Inner membrane folded into cristae Breaks down sugar (glucose) molecules to release energy Site of aerobic cellular respiration Vacuole Plant cells have a single, large vacuole Animal cells have small vacuoles

Large, oval May contain 1 or more nucleoli Holds DNA Controls cell activities Contains the hereditary material of the cell Nuclear membrane All cells except prokaryotes

Fluid-filled sacs Largest organelle in plant cells Store food, water, metabolic & toxic wastes Store large amounts of food or sugars in plants Lysosome Plant - uncommon Animal - common

Surrounds nucleus Double membrane Selectively permeable Controls movement of materials in/out of nucleus Cytoplasm All cells

Small and round with a single membrane Breaks down larger food molecules into smaller molecules Digests old cell parts

Clear, thick, jellylike material (cytosol) Organelles found inside cell membrane Contains the cytoskeleton fibers Supports and protects cell organelles

Chloroplast Plants and algae

Green, oval containing chlorophyll (green pigment) Double membrane with inner membrane modified into sacs called thylakoids

Stacks of thylakoids called grana & interconnected Gel like innermost substance called stroma Uses energy from sun to make food (glucose) for the plant Process called photosynthesis Release oxygen nucleolus All cells except prokaryotes

Cytoskeleton All cells

Made of microtubules 7 microfilaments Strengthen cell & maintains the shape Moves organelles within the cell

Found inside the cell's nucleus May have more than one Disappear during cell division Make ribosomes

Golgi Apparatus All cells except prokaryotes

Stacks of flattened sacs Have a cis & trans face Modify proteins made by the cells Package & export proteins Cilia Animal cells, Protozoans

Have a 9-2 arrangement of microtubules Short, but numerous

Movement Flagellum Bacterial cells & Protozoans

Have a 9-2 arrangement of microtubules Long, but few in number Movement Centrioles Animal cells

Paired structures near the nucleus Made of a cylinder of microtubule pairs Separate chromosome pairs during mitosis
