Cell Organelles Today you IDENTIFY the STRUCTURE and FUNCTION of cell organelles by correctly completing the chart!!!
Cell Membrane Located around the cell Protects the cell and controls what enters or leaves the cell Is “semi- permeable” AKA: “Plasma Membrane” &
Nucleus Located in center of cell Contains genetic material Controls all of the cell’s processes &
Inside the Nucleus Nuclear Membrane: surrounds the nucleus Nucleolus: dark spot that makes ribosomes DNA: Genetic Material Chromatin: Spread out DNA & protein Chromosomes: Organized DNA/Protein
The Nucleus!!!
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Located in cytoplasm Transports materials around cell May be “Smooth” or “Rough”—rough has ribosomes &
Ribosomes Located on Rough ER Make proteins &
Mitochondria Located in cytoplasm Powerhouse of cell---cell respiration occurs here (sugar made into ATP) &
Lysosomes Located in cytoplasm Digest and “get rid of” waste materials or foreign objects in the cell &
Golgi Located in cytoplasm Package and “ship” proteins and other materials &
Microtubules Found in the cytoplasm Hollow tubes that help the cell with many functions like moving around organelles. &
Microfilaments Found in the cytoplasm Form the cytoskeleton, the internal frame of the cell &
Centrioles Located in cytoplasm Help during cell reproduction ONLY
Vacuoles Located in cytoplasm Sac-like structures that store water, nutrients and wastes Plants have a large CENTRAL VACUOLE that gives the plant cell support &
Cell Wall Located outside of cell membrane Gives plant cell structure Made of cellulose
Plastids A general name for double membrane vessels in plant cells that carry out different functions
Chloroplasts Found in the cytoplasm Absorb light energy for photosynthesis
Leucoplasts Colorless plastid that makes starch in plant cells
Flagella Located outside of cell Long, tail-like structure that moves the cell or pushes things past the cell &
Cilia Located outside of cell Many tiny bristle-like structures that move the cell or push things past the cell & http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/moviegallery/pondscum/protozoa/paramecium/t1/paramecium03.html
