Aim How do plant animal cell organelles maintain
























- Slides: 24
Aim: How do plant & animal cell organelles maintain homeostasis? DO NOW: Read the “Cell Theory Rap” handout & on loose-leaf, explain why we looked at this rap, choose 2 organelles & write down their functions.
Organelles • “mini-workers” inside of cells that have specific jobs • Lie in the cytoplasm of both animal & plant cells (eukaryotes)
Nucleus • Brain of the cell • Contains DNA or genetic instructions (Nucleic Acid) • Has a membrane with pores
Nuclear Membrane • Membrane of the nucleus • Also called nuclear envelope
Nucleolus • Inside nucleus • Makes ribosomes
Ribosomes • Make proteins • Found freely in cytoplasm or attached to endoplasmic reticulum
Mitochondria • Site of cellular respiration (chemical reaction) • ATP Energy producing organelle • Powerhouse of the cell
Vacuoles • Storage sacs for food or water or excess waste, that will eventually be eliminated
Endoplasmic Reticulum • Cellular highway • Allows for more efficient transport inside of cells • 2 Types: Smooth & Rough • Rough: contains ribosomes, which make proteins • Smooth: no ribosomes
Golgi Bodies / Apparati • Packaging organelle for proteins (sorts, modifies & packs proteins)
Lysosomes • Located in both animal and plant cells • Contain digestive enzymes for breakdown of wastes (Ex. damaged cells or old cell parts)
Centrioles • • Only in animal cells Look like cylinders In pairs, near the nucleus Involved in cell division
Chloroplast • • Only in Plant Cells Site of Photosynthesis (chemical reaction) Food (Glucose) Producer Contains chlorophyll pigment (allows for absorption of sunlight)
Cell Membrane • Barrier between inside & outside of cells • Regulates what enters & exits cells
Cell Wall • Made of cellulose (tough carbohydrate) • Lies outside the cell membrane in plant cells and bacteria, fungal organisms and some protists • Offers Support & Protection
Cytoplasm • Similar function to that of the human body’s circulatory system • Site of most chemical reactions in a cell • Holds organelles in place • Mostly made of water • “gel-like” fluid that surrounds the nucleus
