The Parts of The Cell
Define the Following • Ribosomes • Amino Acid • Endoplasmic Reticulum • Mitochondrion • ATP • Chloroplasts • Photosynthesis • Chlorophyll • Golgi Complex • Vesicle • Lysosomes • Vacuoles • Cell Wall • Cellulose • Chitin • Cell Membrane • Lipids • Phospholipids • Hydrophobic • Cytoskeleton • Nucleus • Nucleolus
Cell Wall • A rigid structure that gives support to a cell • The outermost structure of a plant cell • Cellulose-a complex sugar that animals cannot digest • The cell wall allows plants to stand upright www.astrographics.com/.../GP2164.html
Cell Membrane • The protective barrier that encloses an animal cell • Contains proteins, lipids, and phospholipids • Lipids-fat and cholesterol (do not dissolve in water, hydrophobic) • Phospholipids-contains phosphorous (“water loving, hydrophilic) sun.menloschool.org/.../cells/c/cell_membrane
Cytoskeleton • A web of proteins in the cytoplasm • Prevents the cell’s membrane from collapsing • Made of three proteins www.immediart.com/catalog/product_info.php?cP...
Nucleus • A large organelle in eukaryotic cells • Contains the cells’ DNA • Information on how to make the cell’s proteins • Copied from DNA • Double membrane and pores • Nucleolus-where a cell begins to make ribosomes www.uic.edu/.../bios100/lecturesf04am/lect06.htm
Ribosomes • Organelles that make proteins • Composed of RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) and protein • Smallest organelle • Some move freely, others are attracted to membranes of the cytoskeleton • Proteins are made of amino acids • Proteins are needed to cell survival library.thinkquest.org
Endoplasmic Reticulum • ER-a system of folded membranes in which proteins, lipids, and other materials are made • Part of the internal delivery system • Smooth ER • Rough ER www.nsf.gov/news/overviews/biology/interact07.jsp
Mitochondria • Main power source of the cell • Organelle in which sugar is broken down to produce energy • Covered by two membranes • Energy is stored in ATP (adenosine triphosphate) • Have own DNA and can divide within a cell micro.magnet.fsu.edu/.../mitochondria.html
Golgi Complex • The organelle that packages and distributes proteins • Resembles smooth ER • Lipids and proteins from the ER are distributed to the Golgi Complex www.microscopy.fsu.edu/.../golgiapparatus.html
Vesicle • The small sac that surrounds material to be moved into or out of a cell • Can carry proteins from the ER to the Golgi complex • Can distribute products from the Golgi complex to other parts of the cell www.cs.utexas.edu/.../src/tutorial/vesicle.html
Lysosomes • Responsible for digestion • Contain digestive enzymes • Destroy worn-out or damaged organelles • Get rid of waste materials • Protect the cell from invaders www.rkm.com.au/CELL/organelles/lysosome.html
Chloroplast • Organelles in plant and algae cells in which photosynthesis takes place • Consists of two membranes and their own DNA • Contain chlorophyll which is the green pigment • Why is this a chemical reaction? sps.k12.ar.us/massengale/chloroplast_diagram.htm
Vacuoles • A large vesicle • Can act as large vesicles in plant cells • Store digestive enzymes • Aid in digestion • Can store water in plant cells • Can help support the plant www.molecularexpressions.com/.../vacuole.html
