Animal and Plant Cell Functions Explained

The document summarizes the organelles found in plant and animal cells and their functions. In plant cells, the cell wall provides structure and protection while the chloroplast contains chlorophyll and performs photosynthesis. The central vacuole maintains cell shape and the nucleus contains DNA and directs cell activities. In animal cells, the mitochondria produces energy through ATP while the Golgi packages proteins and the endoplasmic reticulum transports materials and produces proteins.

Plant Cell and Animal Cell

Organelles and their Function


Plant Cell Organelles
Functions of the Organelles

 Cell wall provides support, shape, and protection for the plant
 Cell membrane is the thin layer of protein and fat that surrounds
the cell, but is inside the cell wall.
 Golgi apparatus is a flattened, layered, sac-like organelle that
looks like a stack of pancakes and is located near the nucleus. It
packages proteins and carbohydrates.
 Chloroplast is an elongated or disc-shaped organelle containing
chlorophyll.
 Vacuole membrane surrounds and protect the large central
vacuole.
 Raphide Crystal functions to repel animals away from plants.
 Druse Crystal has poisonous substances that are thought to
be a defense against animals.
 Mitochondrion is a spherical to rod-shaped organelle. It
converts the energy stored in glucose into ATP
 Cytoplasm is the jellylike material outside the cell nucleus in
which the organelles are located.
 Large central vacuole is a large, membrane-bound space
within a plant cell that is filled with fluid. It helps maintain the
shape of the cell.
 Rough ER (endoplasmic reticulum) is covered with
ribosomes. It transports materials through the cell and
produces proteins.
 Nucleus contains the hereditary material DNA and
directs the activities of the cell.
 Nucleolus is the structure within the nucleus and helps
in synthesis of ribosomes.
 Smooth ER transport materials through the cell. It
contains enzymes and produces and digests lipids.
 Ribosomes are small organelles composed of RNA-rich
cytoplasmic granules that are sites of protein synthesis.
 Golgi vesicles contains proteins such as digestive
enzymes.
Animal Cell Organelles
Function of the Animal Cell Organelles
 Microtubules has a cytoskeletal role.
 Cytoplasm is the jellylike material outside the cell nucleus in
which the organelles are located.
 Mitochondrion is a spherical to rod-shaped organelle. It
converts the energy stored in glucose into ATP
 Golgi apparatus is a flattened, layered, sac-like organelle that
looks like a stack of pancakes and is located near the nucleus.
It packages proteins and carbohydrates.
 Nucleolus in animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the
is the structure within the nucleus and helps in synthesis of
ribosomes.
 Centrioles located near the nucleus, involved in the
development of spindle fibers in cell division.
 Ribosomes are small organelles composed of RNA-rich
cytoplasmic granules that are sites of protein synthesis.
 Cell membrane is the thin layer of protein and fat that
surrounds the cell, but is inside the cell wall.
 Smooth ER transport materials through the cell. It contains
enzymes and produces and digests lipids.
 Rough ER (endoplasmic reticulum) is covered with
ribosomes. It transports materials through the cell and
produces proteins.
 Golgi vesicles contains proteins such as digestive enzymes.
 Lysosomes digest excess or worn out organelles, food
particles, and engulf viruses or bacteria.
