Eukaryotic Cells: The Inside Story Chapter 1 Section 3
Cell Membrane • Located • In all eukaryotic cells • Purpose • Keep the cytoplasm inside • Allow nutrients in and waste products out • Interact with things outside the cell • Information • Holds the cell together
Cell Wall • Located • In plant and algae cells • Purpose • Provides strength and support to the cell membrane • Helps to keep the membrane from tearing when too much water enters or exits a plant cell • Information • Made of cellulose fibers
Nucleus • Located • In all eukaryotic cells • Purpose • Contains the cell’s DNA and is the control center of the cell • Information • Known as the “cell’s library”
Ribosomes • Located • In all eukaryotic cells • Purpose • The site where amino acids are hooked together to make proteins • Information • Known as the “cell’s protein factories”
Endoplasmic Reticulum • Located • In all eukaryotic cells • Purpose • Makes lipids, breaks down drugs and other substances, packages up proteins for release from the cell • Information • Known as the “cell’s delivery system”
Mitochondria • Located • In all eukaryotic cells • Purpose • Break down food molecules to make ATP • Information • Known as the “cell’s power plant”
Chloroplast • Located • In plant and algae cells • Purpose • Make food using the energy of sunlight • Information • Known as the “plant cell’s power plant”
Golgi Complex • Located • In all eukaryotic cells • Purpose • Processes, packages, and transports materials out of the cell • Information • Known as the “cell’s packaging center”
Vacuoles • Located • In plant cells • Purpose • Stores water and other liquids that help support the cell • Information • Known as the “cell’s storage center”
Lysosomes • Located • In animal cells • Purpose • Digest food particles, wastes, cell parts, and foreign invaders • Information • Known as “packages of destruction”
