Animal and Plant Cell Structures Instructions: Your lab report will consist of the completed tables. Label each structure of the plant and animal cell with its description and function in the tables provided. When your lab report is complete, post it in Submitted Assignment files. 1. Animal Cell: Observe the diagram showing the components of an animal cell. Using the textbook and virtual library resources, fill in the following table: Animal Cell.
Number |Cell Structure |Description and Function | |1 | Nuclear pore |Microscopic channels that allow certain material in | | | |and out of the nucleus | |2 |Chromatin (DNA) |Made up of DNA and protein, packages DNA into a | | | |smaller volume to fit in the cell and serves as a | | | |mechanism to control expression and DNA replication | |3 |Nucleolus |Synthesizes components of ribosomes | |4.
Nuclear envelope |Regulates movement of materials in and out of the | | | |nucleus | |5 |Nucleus |Container for chromosomes | |6 |Centriole |Synthesizes and organizes microtubules | |7 |Intermediate filaments |Cell shape that fixes the position of certain | | | |organelles form fairly permanent networks | |8 |Plasma membrane |Isolates cell contents from the environment, | | | |regulates movement of materials into and out of the | | | |cell, and communicates with other cells | |9 |Flagellum |Moves cell through fluid or moves past the cell | | | |surface | |10 |Cytoplasm |A jelly-like substance bathing and suspending all | | | |other organelles | |11 |Rough endoplasmic reticulum |The site of protein synthesis | |12 |Ribosome |Synthesizes membrane components and proteins | |13 |Lysosome |Digests worn-out cellular material and foreign | | | |materials entering the cell | |14 |Microtubules |Maintains cell shape, and acts as the transport | | | |system within the cell | |15 |Free ribosome |The site of.
Protein synthesis | |16 |Smooth endoplasmic reticulum |Contains no ribosomes, lipid synthesis, and drug | | | |detoxification | |17 |Mitochondrion |Produces energy by aerobic respiration | |18 |Vesicle |Shuttles material to various destinations within the | | | |cell | |19 |Vesicle |Shuttles material to various destinations within the | | | |cell | |20 |Golgi apparatus |Modifies and packages proteins and lipids, and | | | |synthesizes carbohydrates | 2. Plant Cell: Observe the diagram showing the major components of a plant cell. Using the textbook and virtual library resources fill in the following table: Plant Cell.
Number |Cell Structure |Description and Function | |1 |Microtubules |Maintains cell shape and acts as a transport system | | | |within the cell | |2 |Mitochondrion |Produces energy by aerobic respiration | |3 |Chloroplast |Performs Photosynthesis | |4 |Golgi apparatus |Modifies and packages proteins and lipids, and.
Synthesizes carbohydrates | |5 |Smooth endoplasmic reticulum |Synthesizes membrane components and lipids | |6 |Vesicle |Shuttles material to various destinations within the| | | |cell | |7 |Rough endoplasmic reticulum |Synthesizes membrane components and lipids | |8 |Central vacuole |Contains water and waste | |9 | Nucleus |Container of chromosomes | |10 |Nucleolus |Synthesizes components of ribosomes | |11 |Nuclear envelope |Regulates movement of material in and out of the | | | |nucleus | |12 |Ribosomes |Synthesizes membrane components and proteins | |13 |Leucoplast |Often found in roots/contains starch and | | | |protein/energy and storage center | |14 |Cytoskeleton |Provide structural support for plasma membrane and | | | |cell organelles. | |15 |Plasma membrane |Isolates cell contents from the environment, | | | |regulates movement of materials into and out of the | | | |cell, and communicates with other cells | |16 |Cell Wall |Supports and gives plant cell structure/ prevents.
Cytolysis | | 17 |Golgi Vesicles |Modifies and packages proteins and lipids, and | | | |synthesizes carbohydrates | | 18 |Peroxisome |Is the breakdown of a very long chain of fatty acids| | | |through beta-oxidation | |19 |Cytoplasm |A jelly-like substance bathing and suspending all | | | |other organelles | When your lab report is complete, post it in Submitted Assignment files.
