Cell Parts Dissecting the cell
Plasma Membrane • Cells must control the materials that enter and leave. • The PM is the boundary between the cell and it’s environment.
Homeostasis • Homeostasis is the process of maintaining the cell’s environment. • Selective permeability is the process where a cell allows some molecules into the cell and not others.
PM Structure • PM is made of a phospholipid bilayer • Two phospholipid layers • Hydrophilic – “likes” water • Hydrophobic – “afraid” of water
Cytoplasm • Thick jelly-like substance that fills the cell • Allows material to be moved around the cell.
Control Center The Nucleus
Nucleus • The nucleus contains the genetic material for the cell • Chromosomes • Nuclear Envelope • Double membrane • Nuclear pores
Chromosomes • Chromosomes are made of DNA. • DNA is the genetic material that holds all the information in the organism. • Located inside the nucleus

Assembly, Transport & Storage Other organelles
Ribosomes • Ribosomes control protein synthesis • Made by the nucleolus • Found floating freely in the cytoplasm or on the rough endoplasmic reticulum
Endoplasmic Reticulum • Site of chemical reactions in the cells • Rough ER • Covered in ribosomes • Smooth ER • No ribosomes
Golgi Apparatus • Sorts and packages products of the ER • Sends packaged proteins to various locations around the cell • Uses vesicles as packaging
Vacuoles & Lysosomes • Vacuoles are used in temporary storage of materials • Plant cells have one large vacuole while animal cells have many smaller vacuoles • Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes that break apart cellular waste for re-use
Cellular Energy Mitochondria
Mitochondria • Energy powerhouses for the cell • Found in plant and animal cells • Double membrane • Increased surface area for reactions
Cytoskeleton • Interior network of support in cells • Criss-crossed web of small “support beams” • Microtubules • Microfilaments
