1. Plant Cell

2. Cytoplasm
Key process = Metabolism – all the chemical reactions that take place in the cell.
Jelly like substance that contains the organelles.
Analogy - Jello

3. Nucleus Control Center
Contains nearly all DNA – instructions for making proteins and other important molecules
Surrounded by nuclear envelope/membrane
Key processes:
Controls metabolism of cell, control
Cell division, proteinsynthesis

4. Chromosome
(The Data) … all the directions
(DNA)

5. Nucleolus Nucleolus – small dense region inside nucleus.
Ribosomes are made here.

6. Endoplasmic Reticulum
Transportation
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)
Covered in ribosomes (rough)
Makes and transports proteins, especially membrane proteins
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)
Synthesis (make) of membrane lipids
Contain enzymes that can detoxification of drugs – Liver has lots of SER’s
Notice how the E.R. is attached to the nucleus …. Like the ‘hallways’

8. Smooth and Rough ER
Key process: Transportation of molecules 8

9. Ribosomes! Protein Factory
Proteins are assembled on these organelles by following coded instructions from the nucleus
Key process: Proteinsynthesis

10. Golgi Apparatus Packaging Center
Modify, sort, and package proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage or secretion.

11. Key processes: Packaging and sorting of proteins

12. Mitochondria Power House
Convert chemical energy stored in food to a form a cell can use (ATP) during the process of
cellular respiration.
Contain own ‘Mitochondrial DNA’
Has double membrane
Key process: Cellular respiration
C6H12O6 + O H2O +CO2 + ATP

13. Chloroplast Glucose Food Factory Only in plants – Contains chlorophyll
Captures energy from the sun and converts it into chemical energy by a process called photosynthesis 
6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy (from sunlight)  C6H12O6 + 6 O2
Glucose
Key process: Photosynthesis

14. Plastids - Chloroplasts, Chromoplasts and Leucoplasts
Chromoplasts contain carotenoids that give flowers, fruit and autumn leaves their orange, yellow and red colors.
Leucoplasts store starch and other molecules for the cell. Many in potato cells.
Process - Storage

15. Mitochondria/Chloroplasts
These two utilize energy from food and the sun respectively and convert it into energy the cell can use.

16. Cytoskeleton Cell Framework A network of protein filaments
Process = support
Cell Framework
A network of protein filaments
that helps the cell to maintain its shape (microtubules, microfilaments)

17. Vacuoles Storage Facility
Plants have big vacuoles
Store materials like water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates
In plants, there is a large vacuole which helps with maintaining pressure (turgor pressure) Support
Allows plant to support heavy
loads like leaves and branches

18. Cell boundaries aka cell membrane
Cell membrane regulates what enters/leaves the cell.
Process - Osmosis

19. Cell Wall Castle Wall Only in Plant Cells
Process = Support
And protection
Cell Wall
Castle Wall
Only in Plant Cells
Provides support and protection for cell
Mostly made of cellulose
Cellulose is the key component of wood and paper
