4A Cell Organelles specialized structures within a living cell
5
Cell Wall Structure Outer layer of a cell Made of cellulose Rigid & strong
6
Cell Wall Function Provides support (maintains cell shape) Protects cell Helps maintain cell shape Allows O 2, H 2 O, & CO 2 into & out of cell
7
Cell Wall
8
Cell (Plasma) Membrane Structure Outer layer of an animal cell Inside cell wall in plants Selectively permeable Double layer of phospholipids with proteins
9
Cell (Plasma) Membrane Function Provides support & protection Controls movement of materials into & out of cell Maintains homeostasis - balance
10
Cell (Plasma) Membrane
11
Nucleus Structure Large, dark center of cell Holds DNA
12
Nucleus Function Controls all cellular activities Contains hereditary (genetic info) material of the cell
13
Nucleus
14
Cytoplasm Structure Clear, thick, jellylike material Organelles are found inside cytoplasm Contains the cytoskeleton fibers
15
Cytoplasm Function Supports and protects cell organelles
16
Cytoplasm
17
Chloroplast Structure oval shaped containing chlorophyll (green pigment) Stacks of thylakoids inside called grana Gel-like, innermost substance called stroma
18
Chloroplast Function Uses E from the sun to make food (glucose) for plants in a process called photosynthesis Releases oxygen
19
Chloroplast
20
Mitochondria Structure Peanut shaped Double membrane w/ smooth outermembrane
21
Mitochondria Function Breaks down glucose molecules to release energy in the form of ATP Site of aerobic respiration Releases CO 2
22
Mitochondria
23
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Structure Network of tubes or membranes Smooth without ribosomes Rough with ribosomes Connects nuclear envelope & cell membrane
24
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Function Carries materials through cell Aids in making proteins & transporting them to Golgi bodies
25
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
26
Ribosome Structure Small round bodies free or attached to ER Made of rRNA & protein
27
Ribosome Function Synthesize (make) proteins
28
Ribosome
30
Lysosome Structure Small & round with a single membrane
31
Lysosome Function Breaks down larger food molecules into smaller molecules digests old cell parts
32
Lysosome
33
Golgi Body (apparatus) Structure Stacks of flattened sacs
34
Golgi Body (apparatus) Function Modify proteins made by the cells Packages & exports the proteins
35
Golgi Body (apparatus)
36
Centrioles Structure Paired structures near the nucleus Made of a cylinder of microtubule pairs
37
Centrioles Function Assist in cell division
38
Centrioles
39
Vacuoles Structure Fluid-filled sacs Largest organelle in plant cells
40
Vacuoles Function Store water, food & wastes Store large amounys of food or sugars in plants
41
Vacuole
42
Cilia Structure Short, hair-like structures
43
Cilia Function Aids in movement
44
Cilia
45
Flagella Structure Long, tail-like structures
46
Flagella Function Aids in movement
47
Flagella
