2.8 and 2.9 Cell Structure: Plants and Animals Lesson BWHS

Cell Structure:
Plants and Animals

-"powerhouse of the cell"
-aerobic respiration takes place (process of creating energy for the cell)

mitochondria

-site of photosynthesis (sunlight converted to glucose to feed the plant)

chloroplast

-modifies, sorts, and packages proteins from ER

golgi apparatus

ER = endoplasmic reticulum
-contains enzymes that create membrane lipids & perform detox
*NO ribosomes attached

​​smooth ER

ER = endoplasmic reticulum
-lipid components of cell membrane assembled here
-export proteins & other materials from cell
*RIBOSOMES attached

​​rough ER

Vacuole: STORES water, nutrients and minerals
