Note: The picture above of the cell with the flagellum was created entirely by CJ Smith, the author of this science portfolio. Also note that, if you look closely at the cell, you can vaguely see the nucleus, a few ribosomes, and a lysosome.

Cell Parts Flash Cards

Actin-Found in both Animal and Plant Cells-Forms microfilaments when linked together -Helps with cell structure

Cell Wall-Found only in Plant Cells-Stabilizes cell so it has rigid structure

Cell Membrane-Found in both Animal and Plant Cells-Is made out of phospholipids and integral and peripheral protiens-It is selectively permeable, it lets certain things pass in and out-It is formed out of a lipid bilayer

Chloroplast-Found in Plant Cells only -Helps turn sunlight into energy through photosynthesis-Contains the green pigment chlorophyl

Chromatin-Found in Animal and Plant Cells-A combination of DNA and proteins-Located in the Nucleus

Chromosomes-Found in Animal and Plant cells -Densely packed Chromatin-Found only when a cell is about to divide

Cilium-Found in Animal Cells and few Plant Cells-Short Hair-like projections used in propulsion of the cell-Formed out of Microtubules

Crista-Found in Animal and Plant Cells-The inner folds of the second membrane of the mitochondria in which the Chemical reactions take place

Cytoplasm-Found in Animal and Plant Cells-The substance between the cell membrane and thenucleus that contains all of the cell's organelles

Cytosol-Found in Animal and Plant Cells-The jelly- like substance that all of the organelles are bathed in

Cytoskeleton-Found in Animal and Plant Cells-Stabilizes the cell and assists in cell division

Endoplasmic Reticulum-Found in both Animal and Plant Cells-Helps synthesize proteins, regulates calcium levels, breaks down toxins, synthesizes steroids, and transports proteins to the Golgi apparatus Rough ER-Helps synthesize proteins and transports them to the Golgi apparatus-Has ribosomes on itSmooth ER-Regulates calcium levels, breaks down toxins, and synthesizes steroids-Has no ribosomes on it

Flagellum-Found in both Animal and Plant Cells-Long, Hairlike, projection that assists in moving the cell

Fluid Mosaic Model-Found in Animal and Plant cells -A model that shows the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane

Golgi Apparatus-Found in both Animal and Plant Cells-Modifies molecules so that they may be used throughout the cell

Integral Protein-Found in both Animal and Plant Cells -Helps carry molecules across the cell membrane during passive transport

Peripheral Protein-Found in Animal and Plant cells-Found only on one side of the cell membrane

Plastid-Found in only Plant Cells-Store starches, fats, and/or pigments -Can absorb light

Ribosome-Found in both Animal and Plant Cells-Synthesize proteins-Composed of RNA and Proteins-Formed within the nucleus of the cell

Nucleus-Found in Animal cells and plant cells-Controls all functions that happen within a cell-Synthesizes ribosomes-Stores all of the cell's DNA

Spindle Fiber-Found in Animal and Plant Cells-Bundles of microtubules that are found when the cell is about to divide

Thylakoid-Found in Plant Cells only-A membranous sac that is enclosed within a chloroplast

Vacuole-Found in both Animal and Plant Cells-Stores food, enzymes, metabolic waste and other materials

I. Title: Animal/Plant Cell Modeling

II. Purpose:To understand the structural difference between plant and animal cells by creating 3 dimensional models

IV. Procedure:1. Heat up water in accordance with the amount listed on the gelatin box into your circular and rectangular pans until it comes to a rolling boil.

2.Once it boils, put the gelatin powder into the boiling pans.

3.As soon as the gelatin powder put ice water into the pan also in accordance with the amount listed on the gelatin box.

4.Put the gelatin into a refrigerator and let it set for a few hours.

5.After it has set, take the gelatin out of the refrigerator and prepare the the ingredients to create the organelles of the cell.

6.Stick the lollipop into the center of the muffin and push the muffin into the center of the gelatin.

7.Push the all the jelly beans into the according to the correct cell into the gelatin.

8.Fold up the fruit roll-ups and push them into the gelatin and for the plant cell add the water vacuole.

9.Insert the twizzlers into the gelatin and sprinkle sprinkles over the top of the model.

V. Data:

VI. Analyze and Conclude:

1.How realistic was the model of your 3-D model in a representation of the cell?

It was fairly realistic, except we had too many ribosomes, there was not smooth endoplasmic reticulum, and the plant cell model did not have an accurately portrayed water vacuole.

2.Draw a Venn diagram comparing and contrasting an animal cell from a plant cell.

3.Create a metaphor/analysis explaining the function of each part of an animal or plant cell.

Organelle Function Metaphor Cell Membrane Lets Certain Molecules in the

cell and Keeps others outIt is like the guards to a city, they let certain people in and others they do not

Mitchondria Converts bonds in food into ATP It is like an ATM where you exchange the credit for money

Cytosol Jelly- Like substance that holds all of the organelles

It is like a town, it holds all the buildings

Nucleas Controls all processes that go on in a cell and forms and forms ribosomes

It is like the government, it controls everything that goes on in a country

Golgi Bodies “Package” Materials before they are transported to other parts of the cell

They are like a post office that packages objects for them to be shipped

Endoplasmic Reticulum Transport Materials to the Golgi Bodies

It is like a highway that transports things

Ribosomes Creates Proteins to be used throughout the cell

It is like the mint that makes money to be made throughout the cell

Cytoskelton Hold allows for the cell to hold its shape

It is like the supports on a building, it allows for it to hold its shape

Lysosomes Breaks down old organelles, viruses, and bacteria

It is like a dump that breaks down used garbage

Water Vacuole It stores water in plant cells It is like a water tower that stores water

Chloroplasts It turns sunlight into energy It is like a solar panel that turns sunlight into energy

Cell Wall An outside wall that protects the cell from letting certain things enter

It is like a wall that lets certain things into the city and keeps other things out
