ØControl center of the cell ØSpherical shape ØContains DNA
ØMade of cytosol, a gel-like fluid, and organelles ØLocated between the cell membrane and nucleus Parts of the Cytoplasm Cytosol Lysosome Endoplasmic reticulum Golgi body Plasma membrane Chloroplasts Ribosomes Vacuoles Mitochondria
Parts of the Cytoplasm Chloroplasts • Found in autotrophs • Contain green chlorophyll—captures energy from the sun • Location of photosynthesis • Not found in animal cells
Parts of the Cytoplasm Vacuoles - Membrane-bound sacs for storage, digestion, and waste removal - Contains water solution -Plants have large vacuoles.
Parts of the Cytoplasm Golgi body - Protein 'packaging plant' - Receives material from the cell, repackages, and sends it out to the cell
Parts of the Cytoplasm Ribosomes - Each cell contains thousands - Miniature 'protein factories'
Parts of the Cytoplasm Endoplasmic reticulum - Carries material from one part of the cell to another - Smooth type: lacks ribosomes - Rough type: ribosomes embedded in surface
Parts of the Cytoplasm Lysosome - Breaks down and transports waste material to cell membrane for removal -Latin for ‘kill body’
Parts of the Cytoplasm Mitochondria • Releases energy • Muscle cells have more mitochondria • Location of respiration
Parts of the Surface ØCell membrane ØCell wall
Parts of the surface Cell wall -Protects & Supports cell -Rigid, nonliving material -Found in plant, bacteria, fungi cells, and some protist cells
Parts of the surface Cell membrane -Protects the cell -Controls what enters and leaves the cell

• All living things are made of cells. • Cells are the basic unit of structure and function of living things. • All cells are produced from other living cells.
