The Eukaryotic Cell is like a _________________
2
The Eukaryotic Cell is like a Factory
3
Cell Wall (plants only)
LOCATION: outside of cell membrane in plant cells STRUCTURE: rigid, porous; made of cellulose FUNCTION: provides support and protection for cell
4
Cell Wall (plants only)
The cell wall is like the walls of a factory because they both provide surrounding structure.
5
Cytoplasm LOCATION: fills interior of cell between cell membrane and nucleus STRUCTURE: viscous fluid FUNCTION: provides structure and transport
6
Cytoplasm The cytoplasm is like the floor of a factory because they both fill the space inside.
7
Cell Membrane LOCATION: outside barrier of cell
STRUCTURE: lipid bi-layer FUNCTION: allows materials into and out of cell; provides support
8
Cell Membrane The cell membrane is like the doors and windows of a factory because they both allow things in and out.
9
Cytoskeleton LOCATION: throughout cell
STRUCTURE: network of protein filaments FUNCTION: provides support and transport; involved in cell movement
10
Cytoskeleton The cytoskeleton is like the support beams in a factory because they both provide extra support.
11
Nucleus LOCATION: towards center of cell
STRUCTURE: large membrane-enclosed structure that contains the genetic material FUNCTION: “Control Center” of cell; contains instructions for all cell functions
12
Nucleus The nucleus is like the main office of a factory because they both control what is happening.
13
Mitochondria LOCATION: throughout cell
STRUCTURE: enclosed by two membranes, inner membrane is folded FUNCTION: “Power Plant” of cell; convert chemical energy stored in food into useful compounds
14
Mitochondria The mitochondria are like the power lines in a factory because they both provide energy.
15
Chloroplasts (plants only)
LOCATION: Throughout plant cells STRUCTURE: surrounded by two membranes, contains chlorophyll FUNCTION: Captures energy from Sunlight, and converts it into chemical energy
16
Chloroplasts (plants only)
The chloroplasts are like solar cells in a factory because they both provide energy from sunlight.
17
Ribosomes LOCATION: on rough endoplasmic reticulum and free-floating in cell STRUCTURE: small particles of RNA and protein FUNCTION: Protein “factory” in cell; assemble proteins
18
Ribosomes The ribosomes are like the machines of a factory because they both make parts.
19
Endoplasmic Reticulum
LOCATION: surrounding nucleus STRUCTURE: highly folded membrane network FUNCTION: assembles lipid, protein and other molecules
20
Endoplasmic Reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum is like the assembly line of a factory because they both put parts together.
21
Golgi Apparatus LOCATION: throughout cell
STRUCTURE: stacks of sac-like membranes FUNCTION: modify, sort, and package materials form ER for storage or secretion
22
Golgi Apparatus The Golgi apparatus is like the shipping area of a factory because they both package and ship materials.
23
Vacuoles LOCATION: throughout cell STRUCTURE: Sac-like structure
FUNCTION: storage
24
Vacuoles The vacuoles are like storage areas in a factory because they both store things.
25
Lysosomes LOCATION: throughout cell
STRUCTURE: small sac-like membranes containing digestive enzymes FUNCTION: break down waste materials in cell
26
Lysosomes The lysosomes are like the clean-up crews in a factory because they both get rid of waste.
