Cell Organelles microscopic “organ – like” structures that help the cell to function

Two types of cells • Prokaryotic: cells without a nucleus; such as Bacteria

Two types of cells • Prokaryotic: cells without a nucleus; such as Bacteria

 • Eukaryotic: cells with a nucleus; such as animal cells and plant cells

• Eukaryotic: cells with a nucleus; such as animal cells and plant cells

Cell Membrane • • found in all cells The outer “skin” Made of fats

Cell Membrane • • found in all cells The outer “skin” Made of fats and proteins is semi-permeable (has holes in it ) FUNCTIONS: Allows for passage of materials in and out of the cell Used for cell communication and identification

Cell Wall • a tough outer coat • found in ONLY plant cells &

Cell Wall • a tough outer coat • found in ONLY plant cells & some bacteria cells FUNCTIONS : Adds extra protection and support to plant cells

Cytoplasm • Found in all cells • The watery medium inside the cell •

Cytoplasm • Found in all cells • The watery medium inside the cell • Made of mostly water FUNCTIONS : Holds up / supports the organelles Stores energy

Cytoskeleton • Found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. • The cytoskeleton helps to support

Cytoskeleton • Found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. • The cytoskeleton helps to support the cell and maintain its shape • It is made up of microtubules and microfilaments.

Nucleus • found in all EUKARYOTIC cells (plants, animals, fungi and protists) • Largest

Nucleus • found in all EUKARYOTIC cells (plants, animals, fungi and protists) • Largest organelle FUNCTIONS : Has DNA inside Is the “control” center of the cell Bacteria cells do not have one = PROKARYOTES

Nucleolous • found inside the nucleus FUNCTIONS : Has RNA inside Gives instructions for

Nucleolous • found inside the nucleus FUNCTIONS : Has RNA inside Gives instructions for the making of protein

Nuclear Membrane • the porous “skin” around the nucleus FUNCTIONS : Allows things to

Nuclear Membrane • the porous “skin” around the nucleus FUNCTIONS : Allows things to enter and leave the nucleus

Ribosomes • smallest cell organelle • found in ALL cells • small round “specks”

Ribosomes • smallest cell organelle • found in ALL cells • small round “specks” FUNCTIONS : where proteins are manufactured

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum • Membrane bound tubules and sacs that are covered with ribosomes.

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum • Membrane bound tubules and sacs that are covered with ribosomes. • Transports proteins to Golgi apparatus and other things around cytoplasm.

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum • Does not have ribosomes attached. • Lipids are made here

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum • Does not have ribosomes attached. • Lipids are made here and attached to proteins. • Things leaving the smooth ER are transported in vesicles.

Golgi Bodies (or Golgi Apparatus) • looks like a stack of pancakes (with syrup)

Golgi Bodies (or Golgi Apparatus) • looks like a stack of pancakes (with syrup) FUNCTIONS : to make vesicles to ship molecules around cell. “packages” things for the cell

Mitochondria • large “peanut” shaped organelle • has folded membranes inside • nicknamed the

Mitochondria • large “peanut” shaped organelle • has folded membranes inside • nicknamed the “powerhouse” of the cell FUNCTIONS : a factory where ENERGY is made

Chloroplasts • found ONLY in plant and some protists cells • green football-shaped organelles

Chloroplasts • found ONLY in plant and some protists cells • green football-shaped organelles FUNCTIONS : to make food for plant cells through the process of photosynthesis

Lysosomes • nicknamed “suicide packets” • has digestive acids inside • has a double

Lysosomes • nicknamed “suicide packets” • has digestive acids inside • has a double lined membrane FUNCTIONS : helps the cell to digest food ***can burst and kill itself ***

Vacuoles • small storage units in all cells • large water vacuole in plant

Vacuoles • small storage units in all cells • large water vacuole in plant cells called “central vacuole” FUNCTIONS : Stores material for the cell including water and nutrients

Centrioles • Only found in animal cells • “bundles of sticks” FUNCTIONS : helps

Centrioles • Only found in animal cells • “bundles of sticks” FUNCTIONS : helps the cell with reproduction

Cilia and Flagella • Found in prokaryote and eukaryote cells. • Made of microtubules

Cilia and Flagella • Found in prokaryote and eukaryote cells. • Made of microtubules and help different cells move. • Cilia and flagella differ in their beating patterns
