Slide 2: Types of Cells
• Animal cells: Lack cell walls but have
centrioles.
• Plant cells: Have cell walls and chloroplasts.
Slide 3: Nucleus
• The control center of the cell.
• Contains DNA and manages cell activities.
Slide 4: Cytoplasm
• A jelly-like substance containing organelles.
• Site of metabolic processes.
Slide 5: Mitochondria
• Known as the powerhouse of the cell.
• Generates ATP through cellular respiration.
Slide 6: Cell Membrane
• A semi-permeable layer regulating entry and
exit of substances.
• Maintains cell integrity.
Slide 7: Other Organelles
• Endoplasmic Reticulum: Protein and lipid
synthesis.
• Golgi Apparatus: Packages and distributes
molecules.
Slide 8: Importance of Cells
• Foundation of all biological systems.
• Essential for growth, repair, and reproduction.
