This document discusses the parts of plant and animal cells. It defines a cell as the smallest unit of life and notes there are two main types - prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It then lists and describes the major organelles found in plant cells, such as the cell wall, chloroplast, cytoplasm, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus, vacuole, lysosomes, Golgi complex and ribosomes. A similar list is then provided for the organelles commonly found in animal cells.

3. What is a cell?
Parts of a plant cell
Parts of a animal cell

4. What is a cell?
-the smallest structural and functional unit of an
organism, typically microscopic and consisting of
cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane.
Microscopic organisms typically consist of a single cell,
which is either eukaryotic or prokaryotic
Two types of cell
 Prokaryotic
Eukaryotic

5. Parts of a plant cell
 Cell Wall
 Chloroplast
 Cytoplasm
 Mitochondrion
 Endoplasmic Reticulum
 Nucleus
 Vacuole
 Lysosome
 Golgi complex
 Ribosomes
 Plasma Membrane

6. Parts of a animal cell
• Plasma Membrane
• Mitochondrion
• Nucleus
• Endoplasmic Reticulum
• Cytoplasm
• Lysosome
• Golgi complex
• ribosomes

7. Cell Wall
-a stiff covering that protects plant cells

8. Chloroplast
-The cell organelle in which photosynthesis takes
place. In this organelle the light energy of the
sun is converted into chemical energy.

9. Cytoplasm
-refers to the jelly-like
material with
organelles in it.

10. Mitochondrion
-are membrane-enclosed organelles distributed
through the cytosol of most eukaryotic cells.
Their main function is the conversion of the
potential energy of food molecules into ATP

11. Endoplasmic Reticulum
• It is a network of membranes throughout the
cytoplasm of the cell. There are two types of
ER. When ribosomes are attached it is called
rough ER and smooth ER when there are no
ribosomes attached.

12. Nucleus
• The nucleus is the control center of the cell. It
is the largest organelle in the cell and it
contains the DNA of the cell. The DNA of all
cells is made up of chromosomes.

13. Vacuole
- Vacuoles are storage organelles in cells.
Either structure may store water, waste
products, food, and other cellular materials.
In plant cells, the vacuole may take up most
of the cell's volume.

14. Lysosomes
Lysosomes function as the cell's recycling
compartment.

15. Golgi complex
-It is organelle in the cell that is responsible for
sorting and correctly shipping the proteins
produced in the ER

16. Plasma Membrane
Contains cell contents

17. Ribosomes
• Organelles that help in the synthesis of
proteins. Ribosomes are made up of two
parts, called subunits.
