Transcript of Nucleus Contains DNA and Genetic information. Tells the rest of the cell what to do. It is the...
Nucleus
• Contains DNA and Genetic information.• Tells the rest of the cell what to
do.• It is the “boss” in the cell.
Mitochondria
• Provide energy for cell activities.• Responsible for cellular
respiration.• It is the “powerhouse” of the
cell.
Chloroplast
• Allows plant cells to harvest solar energy.• Responsible for making sugars to
store energy.• Chloroplasts are the “solar
panels” of plant cells.• Only occur in plant cells.
Vacuole
• Store water and other materials in cells.• They are responsible for storage
in cells.• They are the “warehouse” of the
cell.• In plants, the water vacuole is
the largest structure in the cell.
Lysosome
• Lysosomes are filled with enzymes.• They break down and recycle
unwanted cell structures.• They are the “janitors” of the
cell.• They can be triggered to commit
“cell suicide”.
Golgi Apparatus
• Stack of membranes inside the cell.• Responsible for shipping
materials out of the cell.• It is the “delivery service” of the
cell.• Named after Camilo Golgi, who
discovered it.
Cell Membrane
• The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer.• It’s responsible for determining
what comes in and goes out of a cell.• The cell membrane is the
“security guard” of the cell.
