Cell Biology Organelles
Cell/Plasma Membrane
Cell(Plasma) Membrane (1) Phospholipid bilayer Means that it has two layers Phospho = phophate Hydrophilic or “water loving” portion Lipid = “fat” Hydrophobic or “water fearing”
Nucleus Cell/Plasma Membrane
Nucleus (2) Enclosed by a double membrane Contains the DNA DNA is the same in EVERY cell
Nucleus Nucleolus Cell/Plasma Membrane
Nucleolus (3) Found within the nucleus It is NOT membrane bound Makes ribosomes that are then sent out of the nucleus
Biology is Cool!!!!
Nucleus Nucleolus Cell/Plasma Membrane Mitochondria
Mitochondria (4) Singular is “mitochondrion” They are the powerhouse of the cell About the size of a bacterium
Mitochondria (4) Also has two membranes Outer membrane is smooth Inner membrane is highly folded Called cristae Increase surface area Where cellular respiration takes place Cellular Respiration: Glucose + O 2 ( Oxygen ) ATP (energy) + CO 2 + H 2 O
Nucleus Nucleolus Cell/Plasma Membrane Mitochondria Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) (7) Appears to be “studded” or “pebbled” by ribosomes that are attached to the ER Ribosomes make proteins Proteins are synthesized and sent to the ER for transport throughout the cell
Nucleus Nucleolus Cell/Plasma Membrane Mitochondria Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)(8) Various functions: Breakdown of lipid-soluble “fatty” toxins Release of calcium in muscle cells
Nucleus Nucleolus Cell/Plasma Membrane Mitochondria Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Bodies
Biology is Cool!!!!
Golgi Bodies (9) Stacks of membrane-bound vesicles Responsible for packaging molecules Transport for elsewhere in cell and out of the cell
Nucleus Nucleolus Cell/Plasma Membrane Mitochondria Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Bodies Centrosomes
Centrosomes (5) Makes microtubules Divide during cell division and form the spindle necessary for cell division
Nucleus Nucleolus Cell/Plasma Membrane Mitochondria Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Bodies Centrosomes
Other organelles: Lysosomes Contains enzymes that break down material White blood cells use it to kill and digest bacteria May also serve to kill itself if the cell becomes damaged
Other organelles: Vacuoles Very small in animal cells Rather large in plant cells Store nutrients Increase cell size during growth Plant cells can also use it to store water to increase rigidity
Other Organelles: Chloroplasts NOT found in animal cells Where photosynthesis takes place Contain chlorophyll Make plants green
Other Organelles: Cell Wall Made of cellulose Cellulose can’t be digested by humans Helps maintain plants rigid
Cytoplasm(6) Thick, gel-like substance that fills the cell Surrounds all the organelles
Nucleus Nucleolus Cell/Plasma Membrane Mitochondria Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Bodies Centrosomes

Who am I? I make energy for the cell. I appear to have “studs” because there are ribosomes attached to my outer membrane I break down materials and white blood cells use me to kill and digest bacteria. I contain chlorophyll and am green. I store nutrients, water, and sometimes even waste products for cells. (Although not all at the same time)
BONUS What is a phospholipid and where can you find it? Where does cellular respiration take place? What are the reactants (what goes in) in cellular respiration? What are the products of cellular respiration?
