4A Cell Organelles

• specialized structures within a living cell

Cell Wall

Structure

•Outer layer of a cell

•Made of cellulose

•Rigid & strong

Cell WallFunction

• Provides support (maintains cell shape)

• Protects cell• Helps maintain cell shape

• Allows O2, H2O, & CO2 into & out of cell

Cell (Plasma) Membrane

Structure

•Outer layer of an animal cell

•Inside cell wall in plants

•Selectively permeable

•Double layer of phospholipids with proteins

Cell (Plasma) MembraneFunction

• Provides support & protection

• Controls movement of materials into & out of cell

• Maintains homeostasis - balance

Nucleus

Structure

•Large, dark center of cell

•Holds DNA

NucleusFunction

• Controls all cellular activities

• Contains hereditary (genetic info) material of the cell

Cytoplasm

Structure

•Clear, thick, jellylike material

•Organelles are found inside cytoplasm

•Contains the cytoskeleton fibers

CytoplasmFunction

• Supports and protects cell organelles

ChloroplastStructure

• oval shaped containing chlorophyll (green pigment)

• Stacks of thylakoids inside called grana

• Gel-like, innermost substance called stroma

Chloroplast

Function

•Uses E from the sun to make food (glucose) for plants in a process called photosynthesis

•Releases oxygen

Mitochondria

Structure

•Peanut shaped

•Double membrane w/ smooth outermembrane

MitochondriaFunction

• Breaks down glucose molecules to release energy in the form of ATP

• Site of aerobic respiration

• Releases CO2

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

Structure

•Network of tubes or membranes

•Smooth without ribosomes

•Rough with ribosomes

•Connects nuclear envelope & cell membrane

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)Function

• Carries materials through cell

• Aids in making proteins & transporting them to Golgi bodies

Ribosome

Structure

•Small round bodies free or attached to ER

•Made of rRNA & protein

RibosomeFunction

• Synthesize (make) proteins

Lysosome

Structure

•Small & round with a single membrane

LysosomeFunction

• Breaks down larger food molecules into smaller molecules

• digests old cell parts

Golgi Body (apparatus)

Structure

•Stacks of flattened sacs

Golgi Body (apparatus)Function

• Modify proteins made by the cells

• Packages & exports the proteins

Centrioles

Structure

•Paired structures near the nucleus

•Made of a cylinder of microtubule pairs

CentriolesFunction

• Assist in cell division

Vacuoles

Structure

•Fluid-filled sacs

•Largest organelle in plant cells

VacuolesFunction

• Store water, food & wastes

• Store large amounys of food or sugars in plants

Vacuole

Cilia

Structure

•Short, hair-like structures

CiliaFunction

• Aids in movement

Cilia

Flagella

Structure

•Long, tail-like structures

FlagellaFunction

• Aids in movement

Flagella
