Eukaryotic Animal Cell Click on each blue button to identify the organelles of the eukaryotic animal cell. Mitochondria Golgi Body Rough E.R. Smooth E. R. Nucleus Nucleolus Cytoskeleton Ribosome Peroxisome Lysosome Vacuole Match the following organelles. Match the organelles with their individual functions. Nucleus Directs activities of the cell. Ribosome Synthesizes proteins Cell membrane Selectively controls what comes into and leaves the cell Nucleolus Synthesizes ribosomes Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Lined with ribosomes, highway to other cell locations Smooth E. R. Synthesizes lipids Lysosome Cleans up and recycles cellular debris Golgi Apparatus Packages proteins and other substances for export from cell Mitochondria Synthesizes ATP (energy) Cytoskeleton Helps give structure and stability to cell Peroxisome Cleans up cell debris Vacuole Cellular storage The Plant cell: Eukaryotic Click on the blue buttons to identify the structures in the eukaryotic plant cell. Mitochondria Chloroplast Nucleus Nucleolus Rough E.R. Vacuole Ribosomes Cell Membrane Cell wall Golgi Apparatus Smooth E.R. Cytoskeleton Matching the organelles of the plant cell. Match the organelles of the plant cell with their functions. Nucleus Controls the activities of the cell Nucleolus Synthesizes ribosomes Rough E.R. Lined with ribosomes, provides highway across cell Smooth E.R. Synthesizes lipids Chloroplast Site of photosynthesis Vacuole Large storage of water and starch Mitochondria Synthesizes ATP (energy) Cell membrane Selectively controls what goes into and out of the cell Cell Wall Rigid barrier that gives structure to plants Cytoskeleton Structural component Golgi Apparatus Packages up cell products for export The Prokaryotic Cell, Example: Bacteria Click on the blue buttons to identify the structures in the prokaryotic cell. Pili Ribosomes Nucleoid Cell membrane Cell wall Flagellum Capsule Matching organelles of the prokaryotic cell. Match the organelle with it's function. Nucleoid Genetic material of cell Ribosome Synthesizes proteins Pili Appendage for attachment/ reproduction Flagellum Appendage for movement Cell membrane Selective barrier that controls what goes in and out of cells Cell wall Rigid protection for cell Capsule Outermost layer of cell protection, some bacteria do not have it Compare the characteristics of the Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Cells Eukaryotic Cells Has a membrane bound nucleus Has many membrane bound organelles Complex Has DNA Has cell membrane Only plant cells have a cell wall Prokaryotic Cells Does NOT have a membrane bound nucleus Does NOT have membrane bound organelles Simple Always has a cell wall What are some key differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells? What are some key differences between plant and animal cells?
