Warm-Up Organelle Presentation Talk with your group about WHO is saying WHAT.

Organelles Romano Science 7

Cell Membrane Function: Controls what comes into and out of a cell Location: Plant & Animal Cells How Can I Remember? Members can only come and go

Cell Wall Function: Rigid out layer of plant cell that maintains shape of cell and supports/protects the cell Location: Plant Cells How Can I Remember? I’m a brick wall

Cytoplasm Function: Gel-like fluid that holds organelles in place Location: Plant & Animal Cells How Can I Remember? Sail through my plasma

Mitochondria Function: “Powerhouse” of the cell; produces the energy a cell needs to carry out its functions Location: Plant & Animal Cells How Can I Remember? I am a “mighty” powerhouse

Lysosomes Function: Uses chemicals to break down food and worn out cell parts (digest, clean, and recycle) Location: Animal Cells (SOME plant cells) How Can I Remember? I clean things up! (Hint: Lysol)

Vacuoles Function: Stores food, water, waste, and other materials Location: Plant and Animal Cells How Can I Remember? I’ll store anything (Hint: Vacuum Bags)

Golgi Apparatus Function: Receives proteins & materials from the ER, packages them & distributes them. Location: Plant and Animal Cells How Can I Remember? I’m a GOLden packer.

Chloroplasts Function: Captures energy from the sunlight and uses it to produce food in plant cells. Location: Plant Cells How Can I Remember? Make me something sweet to eat.

Endoplasmic Reticulum Function: Has passageways that carry proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another Location: Plant and Animal Cells How Can I Remember? I’m a transportER

Ribosomes Function: Assembles amino acids to create proteins Location: Plant and Animal Cells How Can I Remember? I make “some” nice proteins

Nucleus Function: Contains DNA, which controls the functions of the cell and production of proteins Location: Plant and Animal Cells How Can I Remember? I’m the control center.

Nucleolus Function: Found inside the nucleus and produces ribosomes Location: Plant and Animal Cells How Can I Remember? I’m in “control” of the number of “ribos”
