What are cells? Cells are the most basic unit of life. Some living organisms are made of a single cell (unicellular). Others are made of many cells (multicellular). Credit – V.

Cell Theory Cells are the basic unit of life. All living things are made of one or more cells. Cells come from other cells. Flash Card Review Credit: V. Sato Credit: V. Sato

Cell Organelles & Their Functions Cytoplasm Jelly-like fluid that fills up the space between organelles, carries nutrients to all organelles Mitochondria Structures where energy is produced Endoplasmic Reticulum Complexly folded organelle that is responsible for regulating and producing proteins and other molecules, located near the nucleus Ribosomes Protein production site, tiny structures found in the cytoplasm and on the endoplasmic reticulum Nucleus Part of cell that directs all functions of the cell and contains DNA for replication and differentiation Cell Membrane Barrier around an animal cell which allows certain kinds of materials in and out of cell Golgi Bodies Part of cell that processes and packages lipids and proteins

What are the functions of organelles found only in plants? What is each organelle's function ? Think about your response and Click to see if you got it ? Rigid layer of a plant cell that provides protection and structure Cell Wall Chloroplasts Larger Vacuole ? Found only in plants; captures sunlight and converts it into food energy ? Organelle used to store food Why would these organelles be found in plants cells and not animal cells?
