Cell Structure and Parts

Cell Similarities Cells come in many different shapes and

sizes and perform a wide variety of functions but they all have the following things in common

Cell Membrane

Support and protect the cell

Organelles

A structure within a cell, sometimes surrounded by a membrane

Cytoplasm

Cellular fluid surrounding a cell’s organelles

Two Types of Cells

Eukaryotic

Prokaryotic

Prokaryotic CellA cell that does not have a

nucleus or any other membrane covered organelles

BacteriaExtremely small, single-celled

organisms without a nucleus, prokaryotic cells

Eukaryotic CellA cell that

contains a central nucleus and a complicated internal structure

Nucleus The membrane-covered organelle

found in eukaryotic cells Contains the cell’s DNA and serves

as a control center for the cell

Cell Wall

A structure that surrounds the cell membrane of plant cells

Provides strength and supportRigid, gives the plant cell the

box-shaped appearance

Ribosome

A small organelle in cells where proteins are made

Endoplasmic reticulum A membrane-covered

cell organelle that produces lipids, breaks down drugs and other substances, and packages proteins for delivery out of the cell

Mitochondria

Cell organelles surrounded by 2 membranes that break down food molecules to make ATP

ChloroplastAn organelle found in plant

and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs

Golgi ComplexThe cell

organelle that modifies, packages, and transports materials out of the cell

Vesicle A membrane-covered compartment

in a eukaryotic cell that forms when part of the cell membrane surrounds an object and pinches off

Vacuole A large

membrane-covered structure found in cells that serves as a storage container for water and other fluids

LysosomeA special vesicle in a cell that

digests food particles, wastes, and foreign invaders
