2. Cell Organelles
•READ THE MESSAGE
BELOW!!!!!
• You should already know all of the cell
organelles and their functions, but just in case
you forgot, the following slides will give you
the name and function of the cell organelles
that you need to know.
3. Cell Organelle
• Cell Membrane –
surrounds the cell,
made up of
phospholipids and
proteins.
4. Cell Membrane
• Function: is to control what goes in and
out of the cell.
• This means cell membranes are selectively
permeable.
6. Mitochondria
• Mitochondria are scattered throughout the
cytoplasm.
• Function: makes energy (ATP)
• The more ATP a cell needs the more
mitochondria it will have in the
cytoplasm.
– Ex. Liver cells and muscle cells
7. Ribosomes
• Ribosomes are the most numerous
organelles in the cell.
• Function: produce proteins.
• Some ribosomes are inserted into
membrane of endoplasmic reticulum
(called Rough E.R.)
8. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
• The ER functions as
an intracellular
highway, is a path
along which
molecules move from
one part of the cell to
another.
9. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
• A cell has 2 types of ER:
• Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (rough
ER): which produces large amounts of
proteins to be exported.
– Has ribosome in membrane (makes it rough)
• Smooth ER: is used to synthesis steroids in
gland cells, regulate calcium in muscles,
and break down toxins in liver cells.
10. Golgi Apparatus
• Golgi Apparatus
Function: processes,
packages, and secrets
proteins in the cell to
prepare them for
export.
11. Lysosomes
• Lysosomes Function: are spherical
organelles that digest proteins, carbs,
lipids, DNA, RNA, organelles, and
viruses.
• Lysosomes are like the clean up crew for
the cell. (Garbage men).
12. Cilia and Flagella
• Cilia (hair like)
• Flagella (tail like)
• Function: organelles
that extend from the
surface of the cell,
where they assist in
movement.
13. Cilia and Flagella
• Cilia are also found on the surfaces of cells
in multicellular organisms.
• Where can they be found on human cell
surfaces?
• On cells lining your respiratory tract
• They trap particles from the air you
inhale.
14.
15. Nucleus
• Nucleus function:
• 1. Stores hereditary
information in its
DNA.
• 2. Site where RNA is
copied from DNA
• 3. Contains the
nucleolus
16. Nucleus
• Most nucleus contain
one spherical area
inside the nucleus
called the Nucleolus.
• Nucleolus – is where
you find all of the
DNA.
17. Plant Cells
• Plant cell have 3 additional parts.
• 1. Cell walls
• 2. Vacuoles
• 3. Plastids
• All are important to plant functions.
18. Cell Walls
• Cell Wall - lies
outside the cell
membrane.
• The cell wall function:
helps support and
protects the cell.
• The cell wall is mostly
made up of cellulose,
a type of
carbohydrate.
19.
20. Vacuoles
• Vacuoles function – is
a store molecules like
enzymes, wastes, and
mostly water.
• Can take up to 90% of
the cells space.
21. Plastids
• Plastids – contain pigments, which absorb
visible light (for photosynthesis).
• Most familiar type of plastid is the
chloroplast.
• Chloroplast – are organelles that convert
light energy into chemical energy
(glucose).
