The document provides information about plant and animal cell structures and their functions: - Plant cells contain organelles like the nucleus, chloroplasts, vacuoles, cell membrane, and cell wall. The nucleus contains DNA and directs cell activities. Chloroplasts perform photosynthesis to produce energy. - Animal cells have a nucleus and organelles like mitochondria and lysosomes but lack a cell wall and chloroplasts. - Both plant and animal cells contain a cytoplasm and membrane bound organelles that perform specialized functions to keep the cell functioning properly.

1. Good Morning class

2. Prayer
Heavenly Father up above
Please give us wisdom, strength and love
Keep us always in the right track
And open Your door every time we knock
This wisdom is for our study sake
The strength is for the trials that we will take
Your love is to everyone to share
This can keep us away from life nightmare.
AMEN.

4. THE CELLS
(Plant Cell & Animal Cell)
Structure and Functions

5. Anatomy of a Plant Cell

6. Anatomy of a Animal Cell

7. Terminologies
• Organelles
- internal compartments
- discrete structures of specific
functions
- provide a “division of labor” that
makes a plant more efficient
- examples: nucleus, vacuole

8. Terminologies….
• Cytoplasm
- the materials inside the cell membrane
but outside the nucleus
• Cytosol
- the semifluid matrix that surrounds
and bathes the organelles outside the
nucleus

9. Terminologies…
• Protoplast
- the entire plant cell from the cell
membrane inward
• Cell Wall
- assembles from cellulose and other
polymers produced by the plant cell
(cell product)
- considered to be extracellular; outside
the protoplast

10. Plant Cell Structures and Functions
• The Cell Membrane
- a highly remarkably changeable and
multipurpose membrane
- supports and defines the plant cell
protoplast
- regulates the flux of molecules into
and out of the cell interior
- selectively permeable

11. - receives chemical and environmental
signals from outside the cell
which can change cellular
activities
- accepts raw materials from the
membranes inside the cell and
directs the assembly of these
materials into cell walls

12. Plant Cell Structures and Functions
• The Nucleus
- surrounded by a double membrane called the
nuclear envelope which has pores to allow
passage of materials in and out of the
nucleus
- contains most of the cell’s DNA
(chloroplasts and mitochondria contain some
DNA), which occurs with proteins in
threadlike structures called
chromosomes

13. Chromosomes – contain genes, which
are sequences of DNA; that
directs most of the activities of the
cells via the synthesis of RNA.

14. Plant Cell Structures and Functions
• Endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough)
- rough ER is a major region of protein
synthesis in a cell
- smooth ER helps make phospholipids
and assemble new membranes
- extends from the nucleus through
cytoplasm in any one cell and from
one cell to the next
throughprotoplasmic connections
(plasmodesmata)

15. Plant Cell Structures and
Functions
• Golgi Bodies (Dictyosomes)
- concerned with cellular secretions
- their activity is associated with
new cell walls when they are laid
down as a partition between two
newly divided cells

16. Plant Cell Structures and Functions
• Vacuoles
- help regulate the water content of the
plant cells and contain numerous enzymes
and pigments
- its membrane is called tonoplast
- as plant cell grows, most of their
enlargement results from the absorption
of water by vacuoles

17. - pigments in vacuoles such as red and
blue anthocyanins impart bright colors
to flowers, fruits and other plant
parts
- some plant vacuoles harbor toxic
chemicals that will deter insects
and other animals from eating plants
that contain them

18. Plant Cell Structures and Functions
• Ribosomes
- the workbench for protein synthesis
- very small and consist of
approximately equal amounts of and
RNA
- unlike nucleus and other organelles
ribosomes are not surrounded by
membranes thus some biologists do not
considered them as organelles

19. Plant Cell Structures and Functions
• Mitochnodria
- organelles of energy conversion needed for
cellular metabolism
- considered as the powerhouse of the cell
because it converts energy stored in the
sugars produced during photosynthesis to
ATP that powers much of the work of the
cell
- contains a small amount of DNA and RNA
and ribosomes that synthsize some of the
enzymes specific to each organelle
- grow and divide on their own

20. Plant Cell Structures and Functions
• Chloroplasts
- an organelle of energy conversion
- sites of photosynthesis in plant cells
- the chlorophylls in them trap the light
to fix (capture and integrate) carbon
dioxide into sugars
- use light energy to make amino acids
and fatty acids from carbon fixed via
photosynthesis

21. Plant Cell Structures and Functions
• Lysosomes
- contains various enzymes
- act as cellular scavengers, digesting
cytoplasmic particles such as
mitochondria which have passed
usefulness
- they may also bring about dissolution
of entire cells

22. Plant Cell Structures and Functions
• The Cytoskeleton
- forms a network and support system
within the cell
- performs the following:
a. help maintain organelle position and
organization within the cell; direct cell
expansion and control the movement
of chromosomes during nuclear division;
b. transports large molecules within the cell
(for some filaments)

23. Plant Cell Structures and
Functions
Centriole
- found only in animal cells
- associated with spindle fiber formation
or organization during cell division
- synthesis microtubules of cilia and
flagella may produce spindle in animal
cells.
