and plants
A Cell Has 3 Basic Structure Feature

Nucleus Cytoplasm

Plasma
Membrane
Plasma Membrane

Charecteristic:
Plasma •Consists of a jelly-like matrix
•Contains all the components of the cells
Membrane

Function:
•The site which activities and chemical
reactions take place.
•Provides a medium to produce energy,
manufacture and store materials.
Nucleus

Charecteristic:
•An organelle surrounded by nuclear
Nucleus membrane
•Contains nucleolus, chromatin and
nucleoplasm

Function:
•Controls the activities of the cell.
•Contains the genetic materials.
Cytoplasm

Charecteristic:
•Thin layer
Cytoplasm •Partially permeable
•Flexible

Function:
•Controls the chemicals that enter or
leave the cell.
•Separates the content of the cell from
its
•external environment.
 Organelles - Mitochondrion

Mitochodrions

Characteristic:
A cylindrical-shaped organelle which
surrounded by a double membrane
Function: Contains a matrix with ribosomes, a
The site where aerobic respiration circular DNA molecule and phosphate
takes place. granules
Organelles - Ribosomes

Ribosomes

Characteristic:
Non-membrane-bound particles
Made up of ribosomal RNA and
proteins Function:
The site where protein synthesis takes
place.
Organelles – Rough Endoplasmic
Reticulum

Rough
Endoplasmic
Reticulum

Characteristic:
A network of flattened, membrane-
bounded sacs that continuous with
the nuclear membrane Function:
Rough ER transports proteins made by
the ribosomes through the network.
Organelles – Smooth Endoplasmic
Reticulum

Smooth
Endoplasmic Characteristic:
Reticulum A network of flattened, membrane-
bounded sacs that continuous with
Function: the nuclear membrane
Smooth ER is the site for synthesis of
lipids and detoxification of drugs.
Organelles – Golgi Apparatus
Characteristic:
A stack of flattened membrane-
bounded sacs being formed
continuously at one end of the stack
and budded of as vesicles at the
other.
Golgi
Apparatus
Function:
Modifies and packs the proteins which
transported by rough ER.
The site where enzyme and lysosome
productions take place.
Organelles – Lysosomes

Lysosomes

Characteristic:
Spherical organelles which contain
digestive enzymes
Function:
Break down foods, unwanted
organelles and foreign materials.
Organelles – Cell Wall
Characteristics:
A thick and tough Cellulose

Function:
Protects and supports the cell.
Gives the cell a regular shape.
Organelles – Vacuole

Characteristics:
A large sac which filled with cell
sap

Function:
Supports the cell when it is turgid
As a storage place in a cell
Organelles – Chloroplast
Characteristics:
Sacs which contain chlorophyll

Function:
Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight for
photosynthesis to take place.
