And their definitions and pretty pictures too.
Mr. Snider SOCES
Cell Membrane
• Protects cell• Controls what goes in
and out• Semi-permeable
membrane
DNA
• Genetic information• Sections control what
proteins to make• 2 strands• Deoxyribonucleic acid
DNA
RNA
• Carries messages• Single strand• Ribonucleic Acid
RNA
Ribosome
• Makes Proteins• Free in cell or
attached to Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Cytoplasm
• Support, structure• Stores raw material• Some chemical
reactions• Separates organelles
Cell Wall
• Protection, support outside cell
• Not found in all organisms
Endoplasmic Reticulum
• Passageway through cell
• Rough – w/Ribosomes finish protein
• Smooth – makes lipids
Golgi Body
• Package and ship protein out of cell
Nucleus
• Contains DNA• Controls cell
Nucleolus
• Makes ribosomes
Mitochondria
• Turns sugar into ATP
Chloroplast
• Turns sunlight into sugar
• Only found in plants*
Vacuole
• Holds material
Lysosome
• Breaks down/digests materials
• Found in Animal cells
Cytoskeleton
• Structure, support, movement
CytoskeletonCytoskeleton
Centriole• Cell reproduction –
Mitosis, Meiosis• Only in Animal cells
