Cell Structure and Function

Plant cells and animal cells

• are both prokaryotic

• are both eukaryotic

• do not have a nucleus

• do not have DNA

Check all the organelles that can be found in an animal cell.

• chloroplasts

• mitochondria

• nucleus

• golgi complex

The function of the mitochondria is

• is to make proteins for the cell.

• transport materials in and out of the cell.

• break down waste products for the cell.

• break down glucose through cellular respiration and make energy for the cell.

Ribosomes are important because

• they make proteins for the cell.

• they make glucose for the cell.

• they transport materials throughout the cell.

• they control the cell's activities
