Organelles and their Functions CHLOROPLASTS o Green organelles

“Organelles and their Functions”

CHLOROPLASTS o Green organelles that make food o found only in plant cells

CHLOROPHYLL o A green pigment that gives leaves & stems their color o Captures sunlight energy that is used to produce food called glucose o Glucose is a type of sugar

MITOCHONDRIA o Organelles that release energy from food o This energy is released by breaking down food into carbon dioxide o AKA the powerhouse b/c they release energy from food o Some muscle cells have 20, 000 mitochondria

RIBOSOMES o Make proteins o Float freely or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) o Ribosomes are made in the nucleolus

ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM o A series of folded membranes that move materials (proteins) around in a cell o like a conveyor belt o Smooth ER – ribosomes not attached to ER o Rough ER – ribosomes attached to ER

GOLGI BODIES (GAWL jee) o Stacked flattened membranes o Sort and package proteins

VACUOLES o Temporary storage spaces o Store food, water, waste

LYSOSOMES (LI suh sohmz) o The word "lysosome" is Latin for "kill body. " o The purpose of the lysosome is to digest things. They might be used to digest food or break down the cell when it dies. o Break down food molecules, cell wastes & worn out cell parts

FROM CELL TO ORGANISM Cell The basic unit of life Tissue Group of cells working together Organ Group of tissues working together Organ System Group of organs working together Organism Any living thing made of 1 or more cells

Create your own Cell Analogy! • Just like the previous example, except you may not use a factory • Make sure to use all the organelles covered in this lesson • Make sure to create a legend in the bottom right corner of the paper
