1. Cell Organelles
You will use this power point to finish your organelle chart. You will write the function (underlined), and circle if it is found in plant cells, animal cells, or both.

2. Nucleus Stores genetic information (DNA) Protein synthesis
Control center
The nucleus controls the entire cell. It contains the genetic info for the cell. Only eukaryotes have it (plant and animal cells)

3. Cell Membrane Phospholipid bilayer Maintains homeostasis
Cell transport
Controls what enters and leaves the cell.

4. Mitochondria
Site of cellular respiration. Converts glucose (carbohydrates) into energy called ATP.

5. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Production of proteins and lipids (other things too)
DOES NOT HAVE ANY RIBOSOMES ON IT.
Helps produce lipid parts for the cell membrane.

6. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Studded with ribosomes
Production of proteins and lipids

7. Vacuole
Storage
Contains fluids and food for the cell.

8. Ribosome
Protein synthesis

9. Lysosome Breakdown/digestion of materials Clean up crew for the cell.
Digest substance that could harm the cell. Break down large molecules for the cell.

10. Golgi Apparatus Protein packaging, sorting and transport
“Pit stop for proteins” Packages, sorts and ships proteins to their designated location in the cell.

11. Chloroplast Site of photosynthesis
Turn solar energy into chemical energy (glucose)

12. Cell Wall Rigid/strong support and shape
Gives the cell its structure. Made of cellulose (sugar)
