Class 9th Biology: Types of Organelles in Animal and Plant cells
BY Team Aakash Byju's
- Constructional and functional unit of all living beings. - The word cell comes from the Latin word cellula, which means small space.- Robert Hooke discovered the cell in 1665.
Cell
Each cell possesses some membrane-bound structures in the cytoplasm called Cell Organelles.
They are of three types. Chloroplasts perform photosynthesis, Chromoplasts give colour to plant parts and leucoplasts store food.
Plastids
Cell organelles present only in plant cells:
Cell organelles present only in the animal cell:
Discovered jointly by Walther Flemming and Edouard Van Beneden. It regulates microtubules and cell division.
Centrosomes
They contain digestive enzymes that digest food particles, cellular waste and foreign materials, i.e. microorganisms or unwanted substances which enters the cell.
Lysosomes
Plant cells and animal cells are eukaryotic cells. So, all cell organelles are present.
Cell organelles are present both in plant and animal cells:
Discovered by Robert Brown in 1831. It regulates and controls all cellular functions and determines the characteristics of organisms. Hence it is known as the control room of the cell.
Mitochondria
Discovered by Albert Von Kolliker. It produces energy through cellular respiration. Hence it is known as the powerhouse of the cell.
Discovered by Emilio Veratti in 1902. It serves as a channel for the transportation of materials.
Golgi apparatusDiscovered by Camillo Golgi in 1898. It packs various substances. Proteins are slightly altered here.
Generally, plant cells possess large size vacuoles. Vacuoles store wastes and other substances.
Vacuole
Discovered by George E Palade. They are involved in protein synthesis.
Ribosomes
Discovered by Nikolai k Koltsov.It gives shape and support to the cell.
