Organelles : Location & Function

This overview explores various cell organelles, detailing their locations and functions within a cell. Key structures include the cell membrane, acting as a selective barrier, the nucleus that houses DNA, and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that transports materials. Ribosomes serve as protein factories, while the Golgi body processes and ships molecules. Lysosomes handle waste, mitochondria provide energy, and the cell wall protects plant cells. Vacuoles store water, and chloroplasts enable photosynthesis. Lastly, cytoplasm maintains organelle organization.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Organelles: Location & Function

  2. Organelles: specialized structures within a cell

  3. The cell membrane is like a door Cell/Plasma Membrane Function: Allows things in/out of the cell

  4. The nucleus is like the brain Nucleus Function: Holds DNA and controls the cell

  5. The ER is like the road/highway Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Function: Transports materials within the cell

  6. Ribosomes are protein factories Ribosomes Function: Make proteins for the cell

  7. The golgi body is like UPS or FedEx Golgi Body Function: Receives, packages, and ships molecules out of the cell

  8. The lysosomes are like garbage trucks Lysosomes Function: Digest and remove waste from the cell

  9. The mitochondria is like the powerplant Mitochondria Function: Breaks down food to give cell energy CELLULAR RESPIRATION

  10. The cell wall is like the walls of a room Cell Wall Function: Protects & supports PLANT cells only

  11. The vacuole is like a lake Vacuole Function: Stores water for PLANT CELLS **some animal cells have vacuoles**

  12. Chloroplasts are like solar panels Chloroplast Function: Take in sunlight & carbon dioxide to make food for plants PHOTOSYNTHESIS

  13. Cytoplasm is like jelly CYTOPLASM Function: Gel-like substance that holds organelles in place
