Endoplasmic reticulum
Quick review of different organelles and cell structures.

3. CELL WALL
A rigid layer of nonliving material that helps to protect and support the cell.

4. VACUOLE
This sac stores water, food, waste products, and other materials.

5. NUCLEUS
Directs all of the cell’s activities, including reproduction.

6. CYTOPLASM
The gel-like fluid inside a cell.

7. MITOCHONDRIA
Most of the cell’s energy is produced within these rod-shaped organelles.

8. ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
This network of passageways carries materials from one part of the cell to another.

9. GOLGI BODIES
These organelles receive materials from the ER and send them to other parts or outside of the cell.

10. CELL MEMBRANE
Forms the outside boundary that separates a cell from its environment and controls what substances come into and out of a cell.

11. CHLOROPLASTS
These organelles capture energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell.

12. LYSOSOMES
These small organelles contain chemicals that break down food particles and worn-out cell parts.

13. RIBOSOMES
These small structures function as factories to produce proteins.

14. Edible Cell Model: Expectations
You MUST wear gloves when handling food.
Do NOT eat anything unless instructed to do so.
Misbehavior will result in your model being taken away.
