ORGANELLES

CYTOPLASM

• Located in the portion of the cell outside the nucleus
• Works together with nucleus
• Prokaryotes have cytoplasm
• The “citizens”of the cell

CELL MEMBRANE

• Regulates what enters and leaves the cell
• Protects and supports the cell
• All cells have cell membranes
• Forms strong barrier between cells and its surroundings
• Acts as the “border patrol” of the cell
• Selectively permeable

RIBOSOMES

• Assembles proteins
• Small particles of Rena and protein found throughout the cytoplasm
• Have especially active cells that contain large numbers of ribosomes
• The “working class”of the cell

NUCLEUS

• “Control center” of the cell
• Contains nearly all the cell’s dna and coded instructions For making proteins
• Surrounded by nuclear envelope
• The “mayor of the cell”

MITOCHONDRIA

• Converts the chemical energy stored in food into more convenient compounds for the cell to use
• Come from cytoplasm and ovum
• “Power plants of the cell”

NUCLEOULOUS

• Where the assembly of cells begin
• “School of the cell”

CELL WALL

• Helps support, shape, and protect the cell
• Most prokaryotes and eukaryotes have cell walls
• “Police force”of the cell

ROUGH E.R.

• Portion of e.r. involved in the synthesis of proteins
• Proteins made on the rough E.R. Will be released from the cell
• These proteins are destined for lysosomes
• The “parents” of the cell

SMOOTH E.R.

• Ribosomes are not found on smooth e.r’s surface
• “Retirement home of the cell

GOLGI APPARATUSE

• Protein produced
• Appears as a stack of flattened membranes
• Modifies, sorts, and package proteins
• The “post office of a cell”

LYSOSOMES

• Small organelle filled with enzymes
• Break down lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins
• The “waste management of the cell”

VESICLES

• Large sac-like structures
• Store and move materials between cell organelles
• “Taxi services of the cell”

CENTRAL VACUOLE

• Located in the center of a plant
• Helps support structures
• “The taxes of the cell”

CHLOROPLASTS

• Capture energy from the sun then converts the energy into food that can be processed during photosynthesis
• “Solar panels of a cell”

FLAGELLA

• Long “tails” at the end of the cell
• Helps with the cells transportation
• Usually 1 or 2 per cell
• “The truckers of a city”

CYTOSKELETON

• Gives Cell their shape and internal organization
• Involved in the movement of a cell also
• The “highways of a cell”
