Animal Cells

They are eukaryotic cells with


relatively large cells with a
nucleus and specialized
structures called organelles.
Cell Membrane

It surrounds the cell and is


responsible for regulating what
moves in and out of a cell.
Nucleus

It contains most of the cell's


genetic material. The majority of
the nucleus is filled with chromatin.
Endoplasmic Reticulum

It is an organelle of cells that


forms a network of
membranes. They are
important for many cellular
processes such as protein
production.
Mitochondria

They are one of the most important of all


organelles. Their role is to produce energy
currency through respiration.
Lysosomes
They are the stomach of the cell.
Their role is to break down waste
materials and cellular debris.
Golgi Apparatus

It is another set of
membbranes that serves
important functions including
modifying protein and
transporting substances out of
the cell.
Centrioles
These are hollow tubes that give
organelles their shapes. The main
function of centrioles is to help
chromosomes move inside the cell.
Vacuoles

They are enclosed compartments


that are filled with water
containing organic and inorganic
molecules.
