Bell Ringer: Write what you think is in this animal cell.
7.2 Eukaryotic Cell Structure
As you take notes, fill out the information for each term and draw a picture that will help you remember them.
Cytoplasm
The cytoplasm is the part of the cell outside the nucleus
Nucleus
The nucleus contains most of a cell’s DNA
Contains the genetic information that is passed from one generation of cells to the next.
Ribosomes
Proteins are made on ribosomes
endoplasmic reticulum
Where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled, along with proteins and other materials that are exported from the cell
endoplasmic reticulum
Rough ER -Has ribosomes on its surface
endoplasmic reticulum
Smooth ER -does not have ribosomes on its
surface
Golgi apparatus
change, sort, and package proteins and other materials from the ER for storage in the cell
Lysosomes
Help break down lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins into small molecules that can be used
vacuoles
saclike structures that are used to store materials
Mitochondria
Converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use
Chloroplast
Capture the energy in sunlight and convert
it into chemical energy
cytoskeleton
The cytoskeleton helps support the cell
Activity
On the back of your notes draw a picture of an animal cell. Label each part and describe it’s function.
This is a cheat sheet you can use on the test.
