I can…
...summarize the structure and function of organelles in eukaryotic cells (including the nucleus, plasma membrane, cell wall, mitochondria, vacuoles, chloroplasts, and ribosomes) and ways that these organelles interact with each other to perform the function of the cell.
Cell Parts & Functions
Nucleus:
Structure: has a double membrane, contains chromatin
which is made up of DNA, has pores within its membrane
-Nucleolus: small, dense center of nucleus.
Function: considered the control center for all cell functions
because of the DNA within and provides instructions for
making proteins.
Cell Parts & Functions
Ribosomes:
Structure: small, round, bead-like organelles, composed of
rRNA (ribosomal RNA)
Function: location for proteins to be assembled (protein
synthesis)
Cell Parts & Functions
Cytoplasm:
Structure: clear, gel-like fluid in cell
Function: holds organelles in place
Cell Parts & Functions
Vacuoles:
Structure:
-Plants Cells: 1 large and prominent vacuole
-Animal Cells: many smaller vacuoles
Function: provides temporary storage for food, enzymes
and waste.
Cell Parts & Functions
Lysosomes:
Structure: round-ish organelle with a protective membrane
that contains enzymes
Function: digests excess/worn out organelles, food, viruses,
and bacteria.
Cell Parts & Functions
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER):
Structure:
-Rough ER: prominent and
directly next to nucleus;
usually have ribosomes attached to it which makes it
look “rough”
Function:
-Rough ER: intracellular
highway that moves large
amounts of proteins around cell.
Cell Parts & Functions
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER):
Structure:
-Smooth ER: located around nucleus; no ribosomes and looks “smooth”
Function:
-Smooth ER: involved in the making of steroids in gland cells, regulation of calcium levels in muscle cells and breaking down of toxic substances.
Cell Parts & Functions
Golgi Bodies (Apparatus):
Structure: looks like macaroni bound together
Function: processes, packages, and secretes; also works
with Rough ER to package proteins and export them out
of the cell.
Cell Parts & Functions
Chloroplast:
Structure: bean shaped organelle that contains chlorophyll
and is surrounded by a double membrane.
Function: absorbs radiant light energy and produces
glucose for use or storage by producers.
Cell Parts & Functions
Mitochondria:
Structure: bean shaped organelle that has folded inner
membrane that increases surface area; surrounded by a double membrane.
Function: breaks down sugar and transforms that energy
into ATP (cellular respiration).
Cell Parts & Functions
Cilia:
Structure: short, numerous hair-like structures
Function: helps cell movement and feeding
Cell Parts & Functions
Flagella:
Structure: long, whip-like projection; cells have only one or
two.
Function: moves in whip-like motion for cell movement.
Cell Parts & Functions
Cytoskeleton:
Structure: network of long protein strands (microfilaments
and microtubules)
Function: helps cell maintain shape and size, participates in
movement of organelles in cytoplasm, aids in cell dividing.
Cell Parts & Functions
Cell Wall:
Structure: rigid structure outside cell membrane for plants,
fungi and some bacteria.
Function: provides structure and protection.
Cell Parts & Function
Cell Membrane:
Structure: flexible double membrane made up of phospholipids and proteins
Function: allows for transport of molecules and water in and out of the cell; provides structure and protection for cells

Do Now: 3-2-1
3 organelles that are in eukaryotic cells but not prokaryotic cells
2 differences in prokaryotic and eukaryotic genetic material
1 difference in size between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
Think about it …
Angel is looking at a cell under a microscope. She says that its eukaryotic. What is one way that she can know that it's eukaryotic?
