03 Cell Structure and Functions Guided Notes
Objectives:
In the lesson, you will:
• know the function of major organelles in plant and animal cells
• compare and contrast the structure and function of major organelles of plant and animal cells
• relate structure to function for the components of plants and animal cells
Big Ideas:
Key Questions and Terms
What are the two main types of cells? What is the
difference between these cells?
Use the video to describe the function of each of
the following cell structures:
• Cytoplasm: Fills the cells, help breakdown
large molecules
• Nucleus: Contains genetic material,
command center for cell’s activities
• Mitochondria: Provides Energy
• Endoplasmic reticulum: Packages material,
Transport material, makes parts of cell
membrane
• Ribosomes: Build proteins
• Golgi apparatus: Processes material
• Vesicles: Stores Materials, Transport
materials
• Lysosomes: Break down materials
• Cell membrane: separates inside of the cell
from environment
What are organelles?
How are the functions of organelles in animal cells
and those in plant cells similar and different?
Draw and label an animal cell.
Notes
Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes, the difference is the
structure inside them, especially the nucleus.
• Cytoplasm: Fills the cells, help breakdown
large molecules
• Nucleus: Contains genetic material,
command center for cell’s activities
• Mitochondria: Provides Energy
• Endoplasmic reticulum: Packages material,
Transport material, makes parts of cell
membrane
• Ribosomes: Build proteins
• Golgi apparatus: Processes material
• Vesicles: Stores Materials, Transport
materials
• Lysosomes: Break down materials
• Cell membrane: separates inside of the cell
from environment
Organized structure within a living cell
They both have vacuoles. nucleus, cell membrane,
cytoplasm, and mitochondria, but plant cells have
extra organelles that animal cells don’t have, like
chloroplasts (why plants are green) and cell walls.
Draw and label a plant cell.
