Welcome to Class! and Complete the following: New entry “Specialized Cell Structure and Functions” Draw a T-Chart or Venn Diagram compare and contrast Plant and Animal cell below:
Agenda 1.Discuss the STARTER (two cells) 2.Cornell Notes on Cell Structure and Function 3.Coloring Cells 4.Conga Line Homefun: Coloring Cells Due Friday 10/16
Cell Wall Description: Rigid outer layer Outside of cell membrane Function: Support Protection Helps cell maintain its shape Analogy
Cell Membrane Description: Outside covering of cell made of lipid bilayer Function: Barrier between cell and its environment Controls what substances can enter or leave the cell Provides support and protection, especially in cells without a cell wall Analogy
Ribosomes Description: Made of protein and RNA Very small, spherical shaped Function: Make proteins Analogy
Cytoplasm Description: Jelly-like substance that fills the cell and surrounds the organelles Function: Fills space between organelles Contains materials needed by the organelles Analogy
Flagella Description: Long, thread-like extension of a cell Function: Helps cell move Analogy
Cilia Description: Short, hair-like projection on the cell surface Function: Used to sweep away things from the cell surface or help the cell move through fluid Analogy
Nucleus Description: Core, central portion of cell Function: Contains genetic information (DNA) Directs cell activities Analogy
Nuclear Membrane Description: Double-layer membrane surrounding the nucleus Function: Separates nucleoplasm from cytoplasm Analogy
Nucleolus Description: Round structure within nucleus Made of protein and RNA Function: Makes ribosomes Analogy
Chloroplast Description: Oval or bean shaped structure with green color Function: Helps capture sunlight to produce food (energy) for plants Analogy
Golgi Apparatus Description: Flattened sacs called cisternae Function: Modifies and packages materials created in the cell for transport (inside or outside of the cell) Analogy
Lysosome Description: Small sacs Function: Use digestive enzymes to breakdown old/worn-out organelles, viruses or bacteria, and/or food particles Analogy
Mitochondrion Description: Spherical or rod-shaped Inner and outer membranes Function: Converts sugars into ATP (energy) for the cell Analogy
Plastid Description: Double-membrane bound organelle Function: Involved in food storage; function depends mostly upon which pigments are present Analogy
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Description: System of membranous tubes and sacs with ribosomes on the surface (making it appear rough) Function: Helps make and transport new proteins to Golgi apparatus or outside of the cell Analogy
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Description: System of membranous tubes and sacs Function: Makes lipids Creates and stores steroids Stores ions that cells might need Metabolizes carbohydrates Analogy
Vacuole Description: Sacs: smaller in animal cells, larger in plant cells Function: Store a variety of things such as water, nutrients, or waste products Analogy
Vesicle Description: Small sacs Function: Stores, transports, or digests materials within the cell Analogy
