Cell as a Factory
Let's compare the animal cell to a factory. A cell is the smallest functional unit of an organism.

Introduction:
Plant Cell Animal Cell
Eukaryotic Prokaryotic
- Cytoskeleton
- Round Shape
- One or small vacuoles
- Cell Wall
- Chloroplast
- Large vacuole (taking up 90% of cell)
- Nucleus is present
- Animal & Plant
- Membrane bound organelles
- Nucleus is absent
- Bacteria
- No membrane bound organelles
Centrosome

Function: Area in the cell where microtubules are produced.
Aranged perpendicular to each other and help organize assembly of microtubules for movement during cell division.
Function: communicates with the surrounding cytosol via numerous nuclear pores.
Function: where most of the cellular respiration
Through mostly water , cytosol is full of proteins that control cell metabolism.
Positioned on the rough endoplasmic reticulum critical in the protein synthesis.
Produces ribosomes, which move out of the nucleus.
During animal cell division, the centrioles replicate and the centrosome divides each .
DNA is responsible for providing the cell with its unique characteristic.
All in one space... small operation, doesn't have specialized departments.

assembly line
Function: they get rid of virus and bacteria; digest food particles and other damaged organelles.
Have special enzymes that allow them to do and perform their functions.
Make protein

Specialty Janitor
Well known for digesting fatty acids
Function: stores nutrients, and waste products, help increase size.
The secretary vesicle is a type of transporter organelle that is used to deliver particles within the cell or from the cell to outside of the cell.
Breakdown of lipid-soluble toxins in liver cells and control of calcium release in muscle cell contraction.
Function: is to provide energy a cell needs to move, divide,and produce secretory products. Power center of the cell.
Function: acts as a protective barrier to the uncontrolled flow of water.
This membrane regulates turgor pressure in the cell.
They are the size of bacteria but may have different shapes depending on the cell type.
Single membrane, breaks down toxic materials in cell
Membrane is made more complex by the presence of the numerous proteins that are crucial to cell activity.
Appears smooth by electron microscopy.
