Animal Cell
The animal cell is unique because of its centrioles.
The nucleus protects the cell's DNA and separates transcription from translation.
The golgi apparatus is responsible for sending the right proteins to
the right destinations. It's considered the "postal depot" of the
cell.
It chemically modifies proteins in its lumen (a process known as
proteolytic
modification).
Glycoproteins are added to the proteins for "identification" (a process called
glycosylation)
The endoplasmic reticulum comes in two parts: the Smooth ER and the Rough ER
The smooth ER lacks
ribosomes. It serves as a site for lipid synthesis and the chemical modification of
proteins.
The rough ER contains ribosomes. It is a site of protein synthesis
and glycosylation.
Sugars are added to the proteins to
"address" them.
The
mitochondrion processes energy in both plant cells and animal cells.
Because of this, it is referred to as the "cellular power house".
It produces ATP and is bound by a double membrane. The
endosymbiotic theory explains
the origin of the mitochondria in animal cells.
Centrioles are organelles in an animal cell that are associated with nuclear division.
The cytoskeleton is a series of intracellular proteins in a cell.
