Cell Part and Functions

This document provides a table describing the main parts of plant and animal cells and their functions. It lists the cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, nucleus, chloroplasts, mitochondria, lysosomes, vacuoles, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi complex as the main cell parts and describes their basic functions such as protection, energy production, waste breakdown, protein production, and transport of materials within the cell.

Cell Parts and Functions Notes


Part of Cell Main Function (job) Found in
Plant Cell,
Animal Cell,
or Both?
Cell Membrane Protective layer around ALL Both
cells. Controls what goes in &
out of the cell

Cell Wall Tough outer covering that Plant


protects and gives a plant
cell its shape

Cytoplasm Moving gel-like mixture Both


inside the cell that holds all
the organelles

Nucleus Directs all activities in the Both


cell; “control center”

Chloroplasts Green organelles where food Plant


is made in plant cells

Mitochondria Break down food and release Both


energy; “Powerhouses” of the
cell
Cell Parts and Functions Notes

Lysosomes Break down cell wastes and Both


worn-out cell parts

Vacuoles Temporary storage for water, Both


food substances, or waste (larger in
products plant cells
than animal
cells)
Ribosome Where cells make their own
proteins
Both

Endoplasmic Rough: protein storage and Both


Reticulum (ER) transport system in a cell

Smooth: storage organelle

Golgi Complex Sorts materials and puts Both


them into vesicles to be
transports inside & outside
the cell
