Centrioles Centrioles are only found in animal cells and they replace themselves. Centrioles are used to help in organizing cell division although they are not needed. COL function- reproduction

COL function- reproduction

Cilia and Flagella They help move groups of cells materials and fluids past cells that can’t move. The cilia is made up of hair like structures. COL function- Locomotion

They help move groups of cells materials and fluids past cells that can’t move. The cilia is made up of hair like structures.

COL function- Locomotion

Endoplasmic reticulum A system of sacs that make, process and transport chemical compounds. It provides a pipeline between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. COL function- transport

A system of sacs that make, process and transport chemical compounds. It provides a pipeline between the nucleus and the cytoplasm.

COL function- transport

Golgi bodies used for processing and distributing materials and chemicals around and outside the cell. It is just like the FedEx of a cell. COL function- transport

COL function- transport

Microtubules microtubules are only found in eukaryotic cells and are straight hollow cylinders found in the cytoplasm. They have many functions including: Transport, structure support etc. COL function- transport

Lysosomes Lysosomes are used to digest waste products and debris from outside the cell. It then turns them into simple chemical compounds to be used as new building materials. COL function- excretion, metabolism and synthesis

Mitochondria A bean shaped organelle that turns oxygen and nutrients into energy. They are found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. COL function- Respiration, nutrition and Metabolism

COL function- Respiration, nutrition and Metabolism

Nucleus The nucleus is like a brain of a cell that contains the DNA. It helps the cell interact and tells all it’s parts what to do. COL function- all

Peroxisomes Peroxisomes are a type of microbody. Microbodys are Spherical and found in the cytoplasm. Peroxisomes are the most common type of microbody. They are used to detoxify things. COL function- regulation and excretion

Cell Membrane The cell membrane is the outer wall of the cell that keeps bad things out and lets good things in. It helps to protect the inside of the cell. COL function- excretion and regulation

Ribosomes all cells have ribosomes. Ribosomes are made up of exactly 60% RNA and 40% protein. In eukaryotes they have 4 strands of RNA but only 3 in prokaryotes. They are used for processing proteins. COL function- nutrition, synthesis and metabolism.

Facts Animal cells have all the same organelles as stem cells. The earliest fossil evidence of an animal is from 650 million years ago Cells were first discovered in 1665 Scientists can take apart a cell and extract the organelles
