Cell Structure
and Function
• All living things are made up of basic units
called cells.
• Cells vary in shape, sizes and content
depending on their function.
• A light microscope is usually used to
help us observe microscopic cells.
• The living component of a cell is called
protoplasm.
• Protoplasm = cytoplasm + nucleus
• Protoplasm surrounded by plasma
membrane.
• Plant cells have an outer boundary called
the cell wall.
Animal cell
Plant cell
Cell Parts and
Structures
• With electron microscopes, scientists are able to see
the cellular components of a cell in greater detail.
• The cytoplasm contains structures called organelles.
• Organelles perform specific function which enable the
cell to function as a unit of life.
Animalcell
Plantcell
• Controls cellular
activities.
• Nucleus membrane
controls inflow and
outflow of material to
and from nucleus
• Nucleolus acts as site
of ribosome
construction.
• Chromosome carries
hereditary information.
• Acts as a medium
where biochemical
reactions and most
living processes
occur within the cell.
• Provides the
organelles with
substances obtained
from external
environment.
• Separates the content
of the cell from its
external environment.
• Regulates the
movement of
substances entering
and leaving the cell.
• Allows the exchange
of nutrients,
respiratory gases and
wastes products
between the cell and
its environment.
• Chlorophyll captures the
energy of sunlight and
converts light energy into
chemical energy during
photosynthesis.
• The green pigment of
chlorophyll gives plants
their colour.
• Stores chemicals
such as organic
acids, sugar, amino
acids, mineral salts,
oxygen, carbon
dioxide and so on.
• Regulates water
balance in plant
cells.
• Maintains the shape of plant cells.
• Provides mechanical strength and support to
plant cells.
• Protects plants cells from rupturing due to the
movement of excess water into the cells.
• Forms a network of
transportation within
the cell.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
(has ribosomes attached to its
surface)
Transports protein which is
synthesized in ribosomes.
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
(does not have ribosome attach to
its surface)
Transports and
synthesized fat and
glyserol
• Site of proteins synthesis.
• They are either bound to the
endoplasmic reticulum or lie free in
the cytoplasm.
• The sites of cellular
respiration.
• Principle site of
energy production.
• Energy generated or
released in the form
of ATP (adenosine
triphosphate).
• Functions as a processing, packaging
and transport centre of carbohydrates,
proteins and glycoproteins.
• These materials will be membrane-bound
and secrete through vesicles.
• As a digestive
compartments.
• In certain unicellular
organisms, lysosomes
fuse with food vacuoles
and dispense their
enzymes into these
vacuoles to digest the
contents of the vacuoles
Lysosomes
Comparison of
an Animal Cell
& a Plant Cell
Both has nucleus, cytoplasm,
mitochondrion, ribosome, cell
membrane, rough endoplasmic
reticulum, smooth endoplasmic
recticulum and Golgi apparatus
Similarities
Animal Cell Plant Cell
Animal Cell Plant CellDifferences
Do not have fixed shape Shape Have a fixed shape
Do not have cell walls Cell walls Have cell walls
Do not have vacuoles. If
present, vacuoles are usually
small and numerous
Vacuoles Have a large central
vacuole
Do not have chloroplasts Chloroplasts
All green plants have
chloroplast which contain
chlorophyll
Have centrioles centrioles Do not have centrioles
Carbohydrate is stored in the
form of glycogen Food storage Carbohydrate is stored in
the form of starch
The Density of
Organelles in
Spesific Cells
• The number of organelles in each cell varies
according to type of organism and nature of the
cell.
For example,
• more active cells will possess more
mitochondria than less active cells.
• Abundant chloroplasts are found in the
palisade mesophyll cells than other parts of
the leaves.
Require energy to propel through the uterus
towards the Fallopian tubes, so that
fertilisation can take place.
Sperm cells
High density of ______
Contract and relax to
enable movement and
flight
Muscle cells
High density of ______
Require large amounts of energy
during active cell division to produce
new cells
Cells in meristems
High density of ______
Mesophyll palisade cells
Absorb sunlight during photosynthesis
High density of ______
