Cell Project
- 1. Cell Project Sean Dixon
- 2. Who Discovered Cells Robert Hooke discovered the cell in England in 1665.
- 3. Cells There are two types of cells, animal and plant cells. They have similar characteristics but are not the same
- 4. Plant Cell Plant cells have two things animal cells do not have, a cell wall and chloroplast. They have a large central vacuole enclosed by a membrane, the tonoplast.
- 5. Animal Cell These cells are the cells that make up humans and animals. The largest known animal cell is an ostrich egg
- 6. Inside of Animal Cells Inside of animal cells are tiny organs called organelles. They are the nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, rough/smooth endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, centriole, plasma membrane, vacuole, and lysosome.
- 7. Vacuole Lysosomes store water and food for the cell. They take up a large amount of space in the cell. Mostly found in plant cells.
- 8. Lysosomes Lysosomes dissolve wasted cells and food for energy for the cell. They are very small but very efficient. Lysosomes fuse with vacuoles and dispense their enzymes into the vacuoles.
- 9. Rough/Smooth ER Transports proteins to be used in the cell membrane Endoplasmic Reticulum is found in all eukaryotic cells First seen by Keith Porter, Albert Claude, and Ernest F. Fullam in 1945.
- 10. Nucleus The “brain” of the cell. Contains specific instructions for reproducing. Found in most eukaryotic cells
- 11. Mitochondria Mitochondria are thought to be descended from ancient bacteria, range from 1-10 millimeters in size. Generate most of the cell’s supply of ATP.
- 12. Golgi Apparatus Also called the Golgi body , Golgi complex , or dictyosome . Package and processes proteins and lipids.
- 13. Cell Membrane Also called the plasma membrane , plasmalemma or “phospholipid bilayer.” Surrounds the cytoplasm and cell.
