1. Cell Parts and Their Jobs

2. What are Cells? Basic units of all living things
Building blocks of life
Needed for growing, repairing/replacing damaged cells

3. Cell Membrane Location: Surrounds all cells Function:
Gives the cell shape
Controls what moves into and out of cell

5. Cytoplasm Location: Throughout the cell Function:
Clear, jellylike material
Provides cushion for all organelles

7. Nucleus Location: Near center of cell Function:
Controls cell’s activities
Contains genetic information in the form of chromosomes/DNA

9. Nuclear Membrane/Envelope
Location: Surrounds the nucleus
Function:
Protects nucleus from the rest of the cell
Openings (pores) allow materials to move into and out of nucleus

11. Nucleolus
Location: Inside the nucleus
Function:
Makes ribosomes

13. Chromatin Location: Inside the nucleus Function:
Threadlike structures that determine what traits a living thing will have
“genetic blueprints” for cell operations

15. Chromosomes Location: Inside the nucleus Function: Pairs of DNA
Contain instructions for cell activities

16. DNA : Deoxyribonucleic Acid
Location: Inside the nucleus
Function:
Creates genes: determine traits of organisms
Contains information for making proteins

17. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Location: Cytoplasm
Function:
Network of tubes in the cell
Transports materials from nucleus to cytoplasm- throughout cell
Smooth ER-no ribosomes
Rough ER-has ribosomes

19. Ribosomes Location: Cytoplasm or on the Rough ER Function:
make proteins

21. Golgi Bodies Location: Cytoplasm Function:
Curved sacs that package/store proteins

23. Mitochondria Location: Cytoplasm Function: “Powerhouses” of the cell
Sausage shaped
Breaks down nutrients to produces energy
“Powerhouses” of the cell

25. Vacuole Location: Cytoplasm Function: Larger in plant cells
Stores food, water, and wastes
Larger in plant cells
Helps support the plant

27. Lysosomes Location: Cytoplasm Function: Mainly found in Animal Cells
Digests proteins, food, water, and worn out cell parts
Mainly found in Animal Cells

29. Cell Wall Location: surrounds plant cells
Outside cell membrane
Rigid, non-living
Function: Protect and support cell

31. Chloroplasts Location: Cytoplasm Contain green pigment chlorophyll
Function:
Change light energy to sugar [glucose] during Photosynthesis

33. Plastid Location: Cytoplasm Function:
Contains pigments to give plants color
