The Parts of A Cell Standard 7.1a Students know cells function similarly in all living organisms.

Cell Membrane Every cell has a flexible covering that surrounds it called the cell membrane.Every cell has a flexible covering that surrounds it called the cell membrane. The membrane is semi-permeable. This means some substances are allowed into the cell and some substances CANNOT leave or enter the cell.The membrane is semi-permeable.

What are Organelles? Inside cells there are structures with specific jobs called organelles.Inside cells there are structures with specific jobs called organelles. Some single celled organisms, like bacteria, DO NOT have organellesSome single celled organisms, like bacteria, DO NOT have organelles

Nucleus Nucleolus Ribosomes Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Mitochondrion Chloroplast Golgi Apparatus Vesicles Vacuoles Control center- stores DNA Inside Nucleus- makes amino acids Proteins made here Protein & Lipid production Powerhouse of cell- make energy PLANTS ONLY- Use light to make energy Processing Factory- makes sorts and ships molecules Made in the Golgi- “bubbles” for transport “bubbles” for storage
