F

Cell Membrane

• Found in all cells.• Controls what enters and leaves the cell.

Cell Membrane – Check for Understanding

• Why does a cell need a cell membrane?

A

E

D

C

B

G

F

Nucleus

• Found in all animal and plant cells, but not all cells.

• A cell with a nucleus is called a ________cell.• A cell without a nucleus is called a _________

cell.• Where DNA is found in the cell.• Controls all the activities in the cell.

Nucleus – Check for Understanding

• What parts of the cell might be negatively affected if a mutation occurred in the DNA?

A

E

D

C

B

G

F

Cytoplasm

• Found in all cells.• The gel-like substance inside the cell that

contains all the cell parts (organelles).

Cytoplasm

Cytoplasm – Check for Understanding

• Why is it important that the inside of the cell is not just empty space?

A

E

D

C

B

G

F

Chloroplasts

• Found only in plant cells.• This is where light energy is absorbed.• This is where photosynthesis occurs.

Chloroplasts – Check for Understanding

• Green plants are called producers. Why are green plant called producers? What do they produce?

Mitochondria

• Found in plant and animal cells, but not prokaryotic cells.

• Location for the production of energy.• Where cellular respiration takes place.

Mitochondria – Check for Understanding

• Why might an animal cell have more mitochondria than a plant cell?

A

E

D

C

B

G

F

Vacuoles

• Found in plant and animal cells, but there is a BIG difference.

• In a plant cell, the vacuole is HUGE, and there is only one.

• In an animal cell, the vacuole is small, and there may be more than one.

Vacuoles – Check for Understanding

• A plant vacuole is sometimes compared to a balloon. Why is this a good comparison?
