CELLS
Structures and Functions
(organelles and jobs)

2. CELL MEMBRANE Surrounds and protects the cell
Controls what gets in and out of the cell
Gateway to the cell
Door

3. CYTOPLASM
Liquidy substance inside every cell – the environment of the cell
Flows or streams
Gelatin (Jello)

4. NUCLEUS Directs all activities in the cell
Contains the instructions for everything a cell does
DNA is inside the nucleus – chemical that has the codes/instructions
Brain of the cell

5. MITOCHONDRIA Release energy from food that is eaten
Powerhouse of the cell
Mit = mighty/power

6. RIBOSOMES Make the proteins needed by the cell
Manufacturing Plant – assembly line

7. ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
Moves materials around inside the cell
Cell’s highway or roads or canal

8. Golgi bodies Sort and package substances within the cell
Move materials to the cell membrane to be eliminated
Taxi
Moving Company

9. LYSOSOMES
Recycle worn out products within the cell
Recycling center

10. VACUOLE Stores water, waste products, food, and other materials
Storage shed – holding tank

11. Cell wall
Tough, rigid outer covering that protect the cell and give it shape
Only found in plant cells, fungi and bacteria
support = brick wall

12. chloroplasts
Contain green pigment called chlorophyll-which gives plant its green color
Captures sunlight to make sugar by process of photosynthesis

13. cells Two types of cells:
1. Eukaryotic –have a nucleus and other organelles
2. Prokaryotic –have NO nucleus, have cell membrane and ribosome, that’s it.

15. Animal cell
vacuole

16. Plant cell
lysosome
