Cell structure – form and function
The cell as a factory The nucleus
Cellular Control Center Contains all genetic information in the form of DNA. /watch?v=uohe2V4yOzE /watch?v=uohe2V4yOzE
Storage, clean up, and support Vacuoles and vessicles Lysosomes Cytoskeleton
Vacuoles Store food, water, or waste materials
Lysosomes Contain digestive enzymes to digest unwanted particles nimations/flythrough/m ovie-flash.htm nimations/flythrough/m ovie-flash.htm
Cytoskeleton Maintain cell shape Move materials within the cell Microfilaments – support Microtublues – shape, movement
Cytoplasm Clear fluid within cell that contains all organelles
Building proteins Ribosomes Endoplasmic reticulum Golgi apparatus
Ribosomes Makes proteins in the cell May be free in cytoplasm or attached to ER
Endoplasmic Reticulum Series of folded membranes that form sacs or tubes Rough ER has ribosomes attached
Golgi apparatus Saclike membranes used for storing/ packaging of chemicals m/watch?v=a6boqEbcJ WI m/watch?v=a6boqEbcJ WI
Capturing and releasing energy Chloroplasts Mitochondria
Energy center – ATP produced in cellular respiration
Chloroplast Only found in plants/ algae Chloroplasts contain the pigment chlorophyll
Cell boundaries Cell membrane Cell wall
Cell Boundaries Cell membrane – phospholipid bilayer Controls what enters and leaves the cell
Cell Wall Found in plant cells Adds protection and support.
