1. Cell Organelles
EQ:?EQ: What are the roles of the different organelles located in cells?

2. Root Words

3. An organelle is like a little organ inside the cell
An organelle is like a little organ inside the cell. It carries out a specific job.

4. Cell Membrane
It controls the passage of materials in and out of the cell.
Like the “Wall” of this classroom

5. Nucleus
Contains DNA
“Brain” of the cell

6. Cytoplasm
Support and hold the organelles.
Like the“Jello” of the cell

7. Mitochondria “Powerhouse” of the cell Processes energy for the cell
ATP-Adenosine Triphosphate

8. Golgi Complex The protein packaging and transport center of the cell.
Sends and receives cell materials

9. Ribosomes Creates proteins. Attached to Rough ER and floats in
cytoplasm

10. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Transports materials throughout the cell.
Produces lipids and hormones

11. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Covered with ribosomes.
Produces proteins.
Transports materials throughout the cell.

12. Lysosome Uses Enzymes to break down materials for digestion
“Stomach” of the cell

13. Cell Wall (Plant Cell Only)
Rigid and strong wall.
Protects and maintains the shape of the cell.

14. Chloroplast (Plant Cell Only)
Makes plants green.
Location of Photosynthesis.

15. Vacuole Storage of food and materials inside the cell.
“Cabinets” of cell

16. LEFT SIDE ACTIVITY
Choose either a plant or an animal cell. Label at least 15 organelles. Use the Internet to find ones that were not covered in the Powerpoint. Briefly describe the role of each of the organelles. USE COLOR and be detailed.
