Cell Organelles • LS 2a – I will understand cell structure and organelles
Cell Membrane • Function: • To keep all of the cells organelles inside. • To allow things in and out of the cell. • Found In: Plant and Animal Cells
Cytoplasm • Function: To surround and suspend all of the organelles within a cell. • Found In: Plant and Animal Cells
Ribosomes • Function: It’s the protein factory • Very small organelle • Found In: Plant and Animal Cells
Nucleus • Function: “The control center of the cell.” It tells the cell what to do. • Stores DNA which contains the information the cell needs to make proteins • Found In: Plants and Animal Cells
Mitochondria • Function: To break down food particles in order to release energy (ATP). • Known as the “MIGHTY MITOCHONDRIA” • Found In: Plant and Animal Cells
Endoplasmic Reticulum • Function: Is the delivery system of the cell. • Internal delivery • Similar to a “tunnel for cars” • Found In: Plants and Animal Cells
GolgiComplex • Function: Processes and Transports Materials out of the cell. • External Delivery • Lipids and Proteins from the ER are delivered to the Golgi. • Found In: Plants and Animal Cells
Vacuole • Function: To store water and other materials. • This “water balloon” helps to give the cell its support. • Found In: Plants – LARGE vacuoles Animals – Small vacuoles
Function: To provide strength and support to the cell membrane. Found In: Plant Cells Only Cell Wall
Chloroplast • Function: -- Take energy from sunlight and turn it into sugar • (sugar is then passed to the mitochondria to get energy – ATP) • Found In: Plant Cells Only
The Cell Theory • All organisms are composed of one or more cells. • The cell is the basic unit of life. • All cells come from existing cells.
(1) Prokaryotic Cells (Bacteria)
(2) Control Center? • No Nucleus • Genetic Information (dna) is “bunched up” in the cytoplasm
(3) Organelles • Organelles are not surrounded by any membranes • They do have RIBOSOMES though!
(4) Genetic Information • DNA is circular • A long molecule, shaped like a rubber band
(5) Type of Cells? • Bacteria!
(6) Eukaryotic Cells (plants and animals)
(7) Control Center • Nucleus is in the center of the cell • Controls all cell activities • Easy to see!
(8) Organelles • Surrounded by membranes • You can distinguish them from each other • Separate structures
(9) Genetic Information • DNA is linear • It is stored in the nucleus
(10) Type of Cells? • Anything But Bacteria! • Plants and animals!
