Definition of a Cell
 What is a cell?

It is a small compartment that

holds all of the biological
equipment necessary to keep an
organism alive.
02
Animal Cell
 Animal Cells
They are eukaryotic cells with
relatively large cells with a
nucleus and specialized
structures called organelles.
03
Parts and Functions
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.
