Organelles
Endia Brown
Plasma or Cell Membrane
Proteins and phospholids make up most of the membrane structure.
Function:
Holds cell pieces and fluids inside the cell and keeps any nasty things outside of the cell shape.
This is Present in both animal and plant cells.
Cell Wall
Description/Structure:
Are made of specialized sugars cellulose , plasma esmata
Small holes in walls.
Function:
Help plant keep shape. Protect the cells.
This is Present in Plant cells.
Cytoplasm
Description/Structure:
Microfilaments and microtubules set up a skeleton of the cell and cytosol fills the spaces.
Function: Jelly-like fluids that fills a cell.
This is Present in Both animals and plants cells.
Nucleus
Description/Structure:
Chromatin inside with DNA and RNA
Function:
Brain of the cell
This is Present in Both animals and plants cells.
Centrioles
Description/Structure:
A small set of microtubules arranged in specific way. 9 groups of microtubules.
Function:
Help cell when it divides for mitosis and meiosis. Threads- mitotic spindle
This is Present in animal cells.
Ribosomes
Description/Structure:
Packet two parts large and small.
Function:
Protein builders or protein synthesizers of the cell.
This is Present in both animal and plant cells.
Golgi Apparatus
Description/Structure:
Series of membranes shaped like pancakes.
Function:
Packs organelles/macromolecules

Function:
Manufacturing and package system.
This is Present in animal and plant cells.
Mitochondria
Description/Structure:
Double membrane onto smooth inner convolved higher plant cells.
Function:
Powerhouse of cell takes nutrients, break them down and create energy.
This is Present in both animals and plant cells.
Chloroplast
Description/Structure:
Oval like shape.
Function:
Plants cell chlorophyll responsible for the plant green color and the ability to absorb.
This is Present in plant cells.
Lysosomes
Description/Structure:
Hold enzymes that were erupted by the cell.
Function:
Digest things.
This is Present in both animal and plant cells.
Peroxisomes
Description/Structure:
Hold on enzymes that require oxygen.
Function:
Plant- can convert fat to sugar and use it
Animal-protects cells from toxins.
Nuclear Membrane
Description/Structure:
They are phospholipid bilayers.
Function:
Acts as a barrier that separates the contents of the nucleus from cytoplasm.
This is Present in both animal and plant cells.
Nucleolus
Description/Structure:
Made up of proteins and ribonucleic acids (RNA).
Function:
They rewrite RNA and combine it with proteins.
This is Present in both animal and plant cells.
Vacuole
Description/Structure:
A membrane that surrounds a membrane that surrounds a mass of fluid.
Function:
Storage bubbles found in cells.
This is Present in both animal and plant cells.
Cytoskeleton
Description/Structure:
They are stress fibers in endothelial.
Function:
This helps maintain cell shape.
This is Present in both animal and plant cells.
Chromatin
Description/Structure:
Complex of macromolecules found in cells.
Function:
Package DNA into smaller volume to fit in cell.
