ORGANELLE cell wall cell membrane

DESCRIPTION rigid, tough, made of cellulose thin, covering; protects cells; animal cell membranes contain cholesterol jelly-like substance that contains many organelles dense, ball-shaped structure; contains chromosomes thin covering over the nucleus small, dark area in the nucleus in the nucleus, made of DNA and some protein, contains the genes clear, tubular system of tunnels throughout the cell small specks made of RNA, may be in e.r. or free in cytoplasm

FUNCTION protects and supports each cell protects the cell; performs active transport and passive transport to move materials in and out constantly moving, pads and supports the organelles in the cell controls the cells activities

ANIMAL, PLANT, BOTH plant both

cytoplasm nucleus nuclear membrane nucleolus chromatin

both covers and protects the nucleus both produces ribosomes provides the instructions for the cells activities (directs growth, reproduction) carries materials like proteins around inside the cell makes proteins, serves as the cells construction crew both

both both both

endoplasmic reticulum ribosome

ORGANELLE mitochondrion vacuole

DESCRIPTION located in the cytoplasm, bean shaped looks like a balloon floating in the cytoplasm, they are smaller in animal cells small, round structure, contains enzymes green structures that contain a pigment chemical called chlorophyll Look like small bags with tubes connecting them

FUNCTION supplies most of the energy for the cell storage-tanks for food, water, wastes, or enzymes digests older cell parts, food, or other objects captures the energy in sunlight and uses it to produce food Package proteins for use in and out of the cell

ANIMAL, PLANT, BOTH both both
