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 | Passage of substance between nucleus & cytoplasm | 2 | Chromatin (DNA) | Loose coils; | 3 | Nucleolus | Made up of DNA; responsible for making ribosomes | 4 | Nuclear envelope | Membranes surrounding nucleus | 5 | Nucleus | Large circle shape; control all cell activity | 6 | Centriole | Made of microtubules; to organize | 7 | Intermediate filaments | Consist of several ropelike proteins & they work with microtubules to support the cell | 8 | Plasma membrane | Contain & protect contents, regulate passage in/out of cell | 9 | Flagellum | To move in a whiplike motion to propel a cell through its environment | 10 | Cytoplasm | Inside of cell wall; | 11 | Rough endoplasmic reticulum | Filled with ribosomes; responsible for shipping and making proteins | 12 | Ribosome | | 13 | Lysosome | Sac; Digest/recycle particles | 14 | Microtubules | Made of tubulin and play a role in movement & cell division | 15 | Free ribosome | | 16 | Smooth endoplasmic reticulum | Hollow tube; participate in transport of lipids | 17 | Mitochondrion | Rod shaped; produce ATP | 18 | Vesicle | Bubbles; ship material through cells | 19 | Vacuole | Fluid filled membrane; holds food being digested and waste | 20 | Golgi apparatus | To
