Animal Cells By Nili Ivan
There are 100 trillion of us in your body!
We are 10 times larger than prokaryotic cells!
Cytoskeleton
The Cytoskeleton has a very important purpose in the cell, which is to support the rest of the cell. It gives the cell it's shape and sets up a framework for the cell. Cytoskeleton

NUCLEUS The nucleus directs cell activities and stores genetic information of the cell in DNA (chromosomes). The nucleolus creates ribosomes. The chromatin is made up of DNA, protein, and RNA. The nuclear envelope protects the nucleus from cellular cytoplasm. The nuclear pores allow some molecules such as ribosomes to move between the nucleus and cytoplasm.

Chromosomes
LYSOSOMES nucleus
Lysosomes The purpose of the lysosomes is to digest things. They might be used to digest food or break down the cell when it dies. Without the Lysosomes, there would be no way to digest food and waste.
VESICLES Nucleus
Vesicles
This vesicle floats through the cytoplasm to the Golgi and is absorbed. After the Golgi does its work on the molecules, a secretory vesicle is released in the cytoplasm. The vesicle moves to the cell membrane and are released out the cell.
GOLGI APPARATUS The Cis face is the receiving and processing end of the Golgi Vesicles transport Apparatus, it receives and nutrients send signals processes information and through the cell. nutrients. The Trans Face is the end of the Golgi apparatus that takes the information and the nutrients and sends it to different organelles in the cell.

Vesicle
The Golgi Bodies are used to receive, process and transport nutrients, and send messages throughout the cell, with the aid of vesicles.
Centriole
They are there to help the cell when it comes time to divide. They are put to work in both the process of mitosis and the process of meiosis. -------->

Phospholipid Molecule Hydrophilic Heads
The animal cell membrane It helps protect the cell from surroundings. It helps the movement of substances in and out of cells organelles.
The Cell's Power Personal Plant
THE MIGHTY MITOCHONDRIA Everything the cell does requires energy. From Mitosis to the production of proteins. Specifically, it requires ATP, also known as adenosine triphosphate, and it is up to the mitochondria to make it in a process known as aerobic respiration. Each cell may have one to hundreds of them, and their intricate insides show a complex process woven by evolution.
.
Each Mitochondria is surrounded by two membranes, splitting it into 2 sections - the matrix and the intermembrane space. The intermembrane area serves to block larger molecules from entering the cell, while the matrix is the command center. The DNA is located in the matrix, along with the sugar and fats. The membrane allows these specific membranes, where the organelle uses proteins to combine these into a metabolic mix that powers the cell and makes us alive.
