Organelle | Description | Function | Sketch |
Cell Membrane
| -outermost layer in animal cells. -2nd layer in plant cells. -“selectively permeable | -controls what enters and leaves the cell |
|
Nucleus
| -Holds the cell’s DNA -It is like the “brain of the cell” | -Directs all of the cell’s activities |
|
Nuclear Membrane
| -surrounds/protects the nucleus | -controls what enters and leaves the nucleus | |
Nucleolus
| -Found inside the nucleus. -Like a meatball in a bowl of spaghetti | -Produces ribosomes |
|
Chromosomes
| -Chromosomes are made of DNA | -They contain your genes and determine the traits you get from your parent |
|
Cytoplasm
| -Jelly like substance filling the inside of the cell. The area in-between organelles | -Protects and supports the organelles -Holds them in place (Like fruit in Jell-O.) |
|
Organelle Structure and Function
Organelle | Description | Function | Sketch |
Endoplasmic Reticulum | -A network of tubes and passageways -Like roadways or tunnels in the cell | -Transports materials throughout the cell
|
|
Ribosomes | -Look like small little dots inside of the cell -Can be located either in cytoplasm, or on the E.R. | -like protein factories, they produce essential proteins for the cell to use for growth and repair |
|
Golgi Apparatus | -acts like a “post office” for the cell -looks like a stack of pancakes | -sorts and packages materials for the cell |
|
Mitochondria | -like a power plant for the cell | -Converts food to energy for the cell to use through a process called respiration |
|
Vacuoles | -Look like balloons in the cell --Much larger in a plant cell compared to an animal cell | -Store food, water and energy for the cell, and waste from the cell |
|
Lysosomes
| -the trash collectors of the cell -Plants do not have lysosomes | -Gets rid of waste -Breaks down large food molecules -Repairs damaged and old cell parts |
|
Chloroplasts
| -Small green “dots” in the cytoplasm -Like solar cells | -Perform photosynthesis (turning co2,sunlight & water into food ( in order to provide energy for the cell |
|
Cell Wall | -The outermost structure in a plant cell -Only found in plant cells -Made of cellulose | -Helps provide support structure, and protection for the plant | |
