Cells- Recognizing Structures and Functions

Broad Type of Cell

Prokaryotic Cell

• DNA is not contained in membrane-bound nucleus

• Most have cell walls

Two types:

• bacteria

• archea

Broad Type of Cell

Eukaryotic Cell

• DNA is contained in membrane-bound nucleus

• cytoplasm contains many organelles

• WAY larger than prokaryotic cells

Ex:

• plant & animal cells

Specific Type of Cell (& it’s characteristics)

Animal Cell

• Eukaryotic

• No Cell walls

Specific Type of Cell (& its characteristics)

Plant Cell

• Eukaryotic

• Have a cell wall

• vacuole

• chloroplasts

Aqua Blue (Name & Function)

Nucleus

• site of DNA

• genetic material

Orange (Name & Function)

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)

• Makes lipids & cell membranes

Dark Purple (Name & Function)

Ribosomes

• Protein Synthesis

Free:

• for proteins that will stay in cytoplasm or end up in mitochondria/chloroplasts

Attached to RER:

• for proteins found in membrane-bound organelles, imbedded in plasma membrane, or exported from cell

Green (Name & Function)

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)

• membrane sacs that make proteins found in membrane-bound organelles or exported from cell

Red (Name & Function)

Golgi Apparatus

• modifies newly made proteins, lipids, & carbohydrates

Mint (Name & Function)

Vesicles

• Membrane balloons that transport substances in cells

Blue (Name & Function)

Lysosomes

• sacs containing enzymes that digest worn out cell parts

Lavender (Name & Function)

Cytoskeleton

• fibers made of protein that help cell maintain its shape

Pink (Name & Function)

Mitochondria

• organelles that harvest energy from organic molecules

1 (Name & Function)

Chloroplasts

• site of photosynthesis

2 (Name & Function)

Cytoskeleton

• microtubules

• intermediate filaments

• microfilaments

3 (Names & Function)

Central Vacuole

• filled w/ cell sap that maintains pressure against cell wall

4 (Name & Function)

Cytoplasm

• inside of the cell (except nucleus)

5 (Name & Function)

Plasma Membrane

• between cytoplasm & cell wall

6 (Name & Function)

Cell Wall

• maintains cell shape

7 (Name & Function)

Smooth ER

• makes lipids & cell membranes

8 (Name & Function)

Rough ER

• make proteins found in membrane-bound organelles or exported from cell

9 (Name & Function)

Nucleus

• contains chromatin, nuclear envelope, & a nucleus

10 (Name & Function)

Ribosomes

• protein synthesis

Free:

• for proteins that will stay in cytoplasm or end up in mitochondria or chloroplasts

Attached to RER:

• for proteins in membrane-bound organelles, embedding in plasma membrane, or exported from cell

11 (Name & Function)

Golgi Apparatus

• modifies newly made proteins, lipids, & carbohydrates

12 (Name & Function)

Mitochondria

• organelles that harvest energy from organic molecules
