2. What gives the cell structure:
Cytoplasm – the "fluid" that fills
the cell
Where all the chemical reactions
take place
Cytoskeleton – the structure
within the cytoplasm that holds
the organelles in place
3. Cell "Cookbook"
Nucleus – site of the DNA
DNA holds all the protein
"recipes"
Nucleolus – a place inside
the nucleus where
ribosomes are made
4. Ribosomes – Protein Makers
Ribosomes are made up of rRNA
Place where protein is synthesized
(made)
5. Endoplasmic Reticulum
Rough ER – rough because it has
ribosomes
Protein is made at the ribosomes
Smooth – no ribosomes
Complex carbohydrates, lipids and
phospholipids are made here
6. Golgi Apparatus – The UPS of the Cell
Packages, finishes and ships out
proteins
Hangs out next to the Rough ER
Vesicles – the protein sacs that
go back and forth between the
Golgi and the plasma
membrane
Endocytosis and Exocytosis
Active Transport of large molecules
7. Vacuoles: U-Store of the Cell
HUGE in plants
Small part of animal cells
Hold water, waste and other
useful materials (super
important to plants)
8. Lysosomes: Cellular Clean-Up Crew
Vesicles that contain
acids and enzymes that
go around finding things
to eat and digest like:
Waste
Bacteria
Viruses
9. Mighty Mitochondria
ATP maker
Powerhouse of the cell
Has lots of small folds called
cristae that help maximize the
space inside the tiny little
organelle
10. Chloroplasts (Plants Only)
Place where
photosynthesis takes
place
Chlorophyll – the
pigment that makes
plants green
11. Cell Wall (Plants Only)
Give rigid support to plant cells
Acts like their skeleton
12. Cilia and Flagella - Locomotion
Cilia are short hairs
that act like oars on
a rowboat
Flagella – long tails
that whip around
