Cell Organelles Section 3.3
2
Organelles An organelle is a small structure inside a cell that performs a specific function. Literally means “little organ” Nucleus Ribosome Endoplasmic Reticulum Vesicle Golgi Apparatus Mitochondria Vacuole Cell wall Central Vacuole Chloroplast
3
Nucleus Controls most functions of a eukaryotic cell Holds the DNA that codes for hereditary information Nucleolus – part of the nucleus that makes ribosomes
5
Ribosomes Ribosome – where proteins are made. Float freely in the cytoplasm and are attached to the endoplasmic reticulcum to form “rough ER” Ribosomes are THE ONLY ORGANELLE that is found in the cytoplasm of bacteria cells.
6
Endoplasmic Reticulum ER – extensive network of internal membranes that move proteins and other substances through the cell Rough ER – has ribosomes attached to it and appears rough in the electron microscope Transports proteins that are made by its ribosomes Smooth ER – lacks ribosomes and appears smooth in the electron microscope
8
Vesicle Small membrane–bound sac that transports substances in cells
9
Golgi Apparatus Set of flattened, membrane–bound discs that serves as the packaging and distribution center of the cell. Like the UPS or FedEx of the cell Enzymes inside the Golgi apparatus modify the proteins that are received in the vesicle from the ER.
11
Mitochondria Mitochondria – considered the “Power House” of the cell. It is the site where chemical energy in food is converted into the cellular form of energy called ATP. Cells that have high–energy requirements, like muscle cells, may contain hundreds or thousands of mitochondria! Has an outer smooth membrane, and a inner membrane that is folded in on itself.
12
Check out my mitochondria!
13
Vacuole Vacuoles – storage areas of the cell store things like salt, water, proteins, & carbohydrates
14
Animal Cells There are a few important differences between plant and animal cells. Animal cells have: Smaller vacuoles No chloroplasts No cell walls
15
Plant Cells Plant cells have: Large vacuoles Chloroplasts Cell walls
16
Unique Features of Plant Cells Cell wall – helps support and maintain the shape of the cell and protects the cell from damage
17
Chloroplast – use light energy to make carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water Chloroplast (green pigment) Leucoplast (white pigment) Chromoplast (red pigment) Unique Features of Plant Cells
18
Central vacuole – stores water. When plants go into water stress, they lose the water in the central vacuole which results in wilting.
19
Unique Features of Plant Cells Which of the cells below look most like the cells in this plant? Good. Can you figure out what hypertonic means?
20
What Have You Learned? Which of the following statements about prokaryotic cells is NOT true? A. They are primitive B. Bacteria is an example C. They contain ribosomes D. Their DNA is found inside a nucleus
21
What Have You Learned? What type of cell is shown below? A. Prokaryotic cell B. Eukaryotic cell C. Bacteria cell D. Both A and C are correct
22

23
What Have You Learned? This is where ATP is produced in a cell. A. Mitochondria B. Ribosome C. Nucleus D. Vacuole
24
What Have You Learned? This is where DNA is stored in a cell. A. Mitochondria B. Ribosome C. Nucleus D. Vacuole
25
What Have You Learned? What organelle is shown in purple in the plant and animal cell below? A. Mitochondria B. Ribosome C. Nucleus D. Vacuole
26
What Have You Learned? Why are vacuoles important to cells? A. They help remove waste B. They contain the DNA C. They are storage areas D. They are considered the “Powerhouse” of the cell.
27
What Have You Learned? This organelle acts like a fence and regulates what can enter and leave the cell? A. Cell membrane B. Nucleus C. Mitochondria D. Ribosome
28
What Have You Learned? What organelles are found in plant cells that are not found in animal cells? A. Cell wall, chloroplasts B. Cell wall, mitochondria C. Cell membrane, chloroplasts D. Cell membrane, mitochondria
