Animal Cell

• Eukaryotes


  Organisms whose genetic material is enclosed in a nucleus
• Nucleus


  Contains genetic material and controls cell activity
• Cytoplasm


  Jelly-like substance where most chemical reactions take place, including the first stage of respiration
• Cell membrane


  Holds the cell together and controls what goes in and out of the cell
• Mitochondria


  • Where aerobic respiration takes place
• Ribosomes


  • Sites of protein synthesis
  • Where proteins are made in the cell
• Mitochondria and ribosomes are seen using an electron microscope
• Proteins carry out many functions, such as enzymes
• Light Microscope


  Used to visualize larger structures, but not suitable for small organelles
• What subcellular structure do animal cells have?

  Ribosomes, Nucleus, Mitochondria, Cell Membrane, Cytoplasm
