1. MINDSTRETCHER/CATALYST
What are the 2 main differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
What is an organelle?
Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and other
membrane-bound organelles, which prokaryotic cells lack.
A small structure found within a cell that carries out a specific task.

2. Eukaryotic Cells Contains a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
There are two main types of Eukaryotic cells: plants and animals.
Today, we will be talking about the organelles that are found in eukaryotic cells.

3. Organelles
A small structure within a eukaryotic cell (plant or animal) that has a particular job or function.

4. Nucleus
Function: Controls cell processes; Contains genetic material (DNA)
Type of cell/location: Only Eukaryotic cells have them
Nucleolus: dense region where tiny organelles essential for making proteins are assembled

5. Endoplasmic Reticulum
Function: Specializes in the synthesis & transport of lipids and membrane proteins;
Rough ER has ribosomes (makes PROTEIN)
Smooth ER lacks ribosomes (make LIPIDS)
*Synthesis= to make or produce
Type of Cell/Location: Eukaryotic cells only, touching the nucleus
City Metaphor: Highway/Interstate

6. Endoplasmic Reticulum: Cell Type
All Eukaryotic cells (plant and animal)

7. Ribosome Function: link amino acids to make proteins
Type of cell/location: all cells/in the cytoplasm or on the ER
City Metaphor: lumber or brickyard

8. Golgi Bodies
Function: Where proteins are packaged and sent out or exported from the cell.
Type of Cell/Location: eukaryotic cells/in the cytoplasm
City Metaphor: post office or UPS
aka Golgi Apparatus

9. Golgi: Cell Type/Picture
All Eukaryotic cells (PLANT AND ANIMAL)

10. Vacuole
Function: fluid filled sacs used as a storage site for food and water
Type of Cell/Location: all eukaryotic cells; much larger in plant cells than in animal cells
City Metaphor: warehouses or water towers

11. Vacuole: Cell Type/Picture
All Eukaryotic cells (PLANT AND ANIMAL)
Plant= large
Animal=small,
contractile

12. Lysosomes
Function: Contains digestive enzymes; Breaks down large molecules and wastes inside the cell
Type of Cell/Location: all eukaryotic cells, in the cytoplasm
City Metaphor: garbage collection team/waste management

13. Lysosome: Cell Type/Picture
All Eukaryotic cells (PLANT AND ANIMAL)

14. Mitochondria
Function: Power house of the cell ;the site where energy is released from glucose in the form of ATP
We will learn more about this next unit!
Type of Cell/Location: all eukaryotic cells/ cytoplasm
City Metaphor: energy plants

15. Mitochondria: Cell Type/Picture
All Eukaryotic cells (PLANT AND ANIMAL)

16. Cytoskeleton
Function: helps maintain the cell’s shape; transports organelles; assists in cell division and movement
Cell Type/Location: All Eukaryotic cells
City Metaphor: underground support system

17. Vesicle
Function: membrane bound sacs that hold and transport materials
Type of cell/location: all cells/in the cytoplasm

18. Centrioles Function: tubes found in the centromeres, help DNA divide
Type of cell/location: all cells/in the cytoplasm

19. Cell Wall Plant cells have cell walls and chloroplasts.
A cell wall provides rigid support.

20. Chloroplast Plant cells have cell walls and chloroplasts..
Chloroplasts convert solar energy to chemical energy.
