1. Looking Inside Cells

2. What are Organelles? Organelle  ‘little organs’ The parts of the cell
Each part of the cell has its own function (job)
If one cell part is not functioning then the entire cell could die

3. Cell Wall Only in PLANT & BACTERIA cells
Hard layer of non- living material found outside the cell
Function: protect the organelles inside and support the shape of the cell

4. Cell Membrane Found in ALL cells
Function: Protects the cell / acts like a barrier to invaders trying to enter the cell

5. Nucleus Found in PLANT & ANIMAL cells Like the “brain” of the cell
Found in the center of the cell
FUNCTION: control everything that is happening inside the cell

6. Ribosomes Found in ALL cells
Located on the E.R. and throughout the cell
FUNCTION:
to make protein

7. Mitochondrion Found in PLANT & ANIMAL cells
Located in the cytoplasm of the cell
Function: change energy from food into usable energy for the cell

8. Lysosomes Found in ANIMAL cells
Located in the cytoplasm of the cell
FUNCTION: cleans up the cell…uses chemicals to break down food and other materials

9. Golgi Bodies Found in PLANT & ANIMAL cells Right next to the E.R.
FUNCTION: to package up the protein & ship it to other parts of the cell

10. Endoplasmic Reticulum
Found in PLANT & ANIMAL cells
Right next to the nucleus
FUNCTION: to carry protein to other parts of the cell

11. Chloroplasts Found in PLANT and some BACTERIAL cells
Located in the cytoplasm of the cell
FUNCTION: capture Energy from the sun and changes it into food for the plant (where photosynthesis takes place)

12. Cytoplasm Found in ALL cells Located throughout the entire cell
Thick gel-like fluid (salt-water with other nutrients)
FUNCTION: to hold organelles in their place

13. Vacuoles Found in PLANT cells & some ANIMAL cells
Located in the cytoplasm of the cell
FUNCTION: stores food, waste, water and other materials for the cell

14. Chromatin Found in ALL cells Inside the nucleus
FUNCTION: provide genetic information
