Parts and Functions
01
The Discovery of Cells
The Discovery
of Cells
The discovery of cells was made
possible through the invention of
the microscope.
Robert Hooke made the

compound microscope and Honeycomb-like
structures in
examined thin slices of cork. cork

The Discovery
of Cells
Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek

observed motile objects.
The cell theory was

conceptualized by Matthias
Jakob Schleiden and Theodor
Schwann.

02
The Cell Theory
The Cell
Theory
The cell theory states that all living
organisms, from unicellular to multicellular
organisms, are composed of cells.
These cells have their specific independent
functions, but they work together for an
organism to properly function.
03
Organelles
Organelles
All cells, whether prokaryotic or
eukaryotic, will contain
structures known as
organelles.
The organelles are specific
parts of the cell that perform
specific functions and
contribute to the life of the cell.
04
Animal Cell
Animal Cells
They are eukaryotic cells with relatively
large cells with a nucleus and specialized
structures called organelles.
Animal cells are typical of the
eukaryotic cell, enclosed by a plasma
membrane and containing a membrane-
bound nucleus and organelles. Unlike the
eukaryotic cells of plants and fungi,
animal cells do not have a cell wall.
Organelles in
an Animal Cell
mitochondria
Mitochondria
The mitochondrion is where most of the

cell’s ATP is produced.
They are one of the most important of all
organelles. Their role is to produce energy
currency through respiration.

Lysosomes
The lysosomes break down
large molecules into smaller
pieces.
They are the stomach of the
cell. Their role is to break down
waste materials and cellular
debris.
Golgi Apparatus
The Golgi apparatus sorts and
packages proteins and lipids.
It is another set of
membranes that serves
important functions including
modifying protein and
transporting substances out
of the cell.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum is
where most protein synthesis
occurs.
It is an organelle of cells that
forms a network of membranes.
They are important for many
cellular processes such as protein
production.
Nucleus
The nucleus serves as the
control center of the cell
It contains most of the cell's
genetic material. The
majority of the nucleus is
filled with chromatin.
Plasma
Membrane
Also called the cell membrane
The plasma membrane
separates the cells from the
surroundings
It surrounds the cell and is
responsible for regulating what
moves in and out of a cell.
Cytoplasm
The cytoplasm is a semifluid
matrix where organelles are
suspended.

Ribosomes
The ribosomes synthesize
proteins needed by the cell.
05
Plant Cell
Plant Cells
A plant cell is a eukaryotic cell
enclosed by a cell wall,
containing a membrane-bound
nucleus and other cell
organelles.
Organelles in a
Plant Cell
Chloroplasts
Chloroplasts are convert
light energy into sugars
through photosynthesis.

Cell Wall
The cell wall provides
support and protection for
the cell.

Amyloplast
The amyloplast is
responsible for the storage
of starch.

SImiliraties
Cell-Membrane-Allows the cell to control its biochemistry

Cytoplasm- Entirety of the cell membrane
Nucleus- Genetic information of the cell is housed
Mitochondria- It converts glucose to Adenosine
triphosphate(ATP). Is an energy currency.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum- Translate RNA to protein
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum- Makes lipids
Golgi Aparatus- Modifies proteins
Peroxisomes- Metabolize waste

Differences

Rigid cell wall around the plasma membranecomposed of cellulose

providing additional sustainabiity and protection which makes a
fixed angular wall while animal cell are mostly round and irregular
Vacuoles of plants can occupy 90% of cells volume and have a
single membrane to fill up space, can also have digestive similar to
lysosomes it has enzymes that perform many function, can store
nutrients, and provide space to degrade waste substance. While
the vacoules of anial cell are much smaller. The vacuoles of animal
cell are multiple.

Differences

Centrioles are microtube organizing centers which are

structures from which microtobules emerge, while plants
dont have centrioles bit instead have many small
necleation sites.
It plants we have plasmodesmata it connects two plant
cells while in animal cell we have analogous structure and
is the gap junction which connects the cytoplasm of two
adjacent walls
