ORGANELLES

NUCLEUS

• the information & administrative center of cell
• stores cell's hereditary material or DNA
• Coordinates the cell's activities
• metabolism , protein synthesis, reproduction
• Growth

CYTOPLASM

• substance that fills the cell
• 80% water , colorless, and odorless
• Keeps the shape of the cell

CELL MEMBRANE

• All cells have a membrane
• Inside or outside of a cell
• Protects the cell
• Controls what comes in and out
• Cell membrane lets waste out

RIBOSOMES

• Produce proteins
• Attached to E.r.
• Proteins go to the E.r.
• Then transported to gogli body

MITOCHONDRIA

• Key role in development, Signaling, cell death
• also maintaining the control of the cell cycle
• Known as Cellular power plants

CELL WALL

• Structural support
• Protects the cell
• Very tough, flexible, and rigid

CHLOROPLAST

• Provide food for plant
• Absorb sunlight
• Conduct photosynthesis

VACUOLE

• Found in the cytoplasm
• Very large for structural support
• Storage, waste disposal, protection
• Also growth

ANALOGY (SCHOOL)

• Cell Wall: walls of the building
• Golgi Body: janitors, package & remove items from school
• Mitochondria: generator, because provides power
• Nucleus: principals office, controls everything
• Ribosomes: students

ANALOGY (CONT)

• ER: hallways, a highway of ribosomes
• Vacuole: classrooms
• Chloroplast: student's brains, absorb info teachers give
• Cell Membrane: entrance to school, lets people in and out
• Cytoplasm: the school campus

E.R.

• Network of membranes
• Two types: rough and smooth
• folding of protein molecules
• part of a protein sorting pathway

GOLGI BODY

• 100's-1,00's of mini-stacks, move in cytoplasm
• Manufacture key components of cell wall
• Package and distribute
