CELL ORGANELLES

ORGANE LOCATIO DESCRIPTION FUNCTION

LLE N
CELL WALL PLANT Outer layer, rigid, strong, • Protects and supports cell
CELLS stiff, non- living • Allows oxygen and water to
ONLY pass through
CELL Both Plant- inside cell all Controls what comes in and out
MEMBRANE Animal- outer layer of the cell
NUCLEUS Both Round shape surrounded by Controls the activities of the cell
rest of organelles
CYTOPLASM Both Clear gel- like fluid Home to the cell organelles
MITOCHOND Both Bean shaped with inner Breaks down sugar molecules to
RIA membrane create energy
ENDOPLASM Both Network of folded tubes or Carries protein and other
IC membranes materials from one part of the
RETICULUM cell to another
RIBOSOMES Both Small bodies floating free or Produces proteins
ORGANELLE LOCATION DESCRIPTION FUNCTION

GOLGI BODIES Both Flattened sacs or tubes Receives protein and other materials from
the ER and packages then and then
redistributes them

CHLOROPLASTS Plant cells only Green, oval structures usually Captures energy from sunlight and uses it
containing chlorophyll to produce food for cells
VACUOLES Both Fluid- filled sacs Storage area for cells

LYSOSOMES Plant cells- Small round structures Use chemicals to break down large food
uncommon particles into smaller ones, and breaks
Animal cells- down old cells.
