Cell Theory• All living things are made up of cells• Cells are the smallest working units of all

living things • All cells come from preexisting cells

through cell division.

Definition of Cell

A cell is the smallest unit that is capable of performing life

functions

Examples of CellsAmoeba Proteus

Plant Stem

Red Blood Cell

Nerve Cell

Bacteria

Cell Parts

aka Organelles

Cell Membrane

• Outer membrane of cell that controls movement in and out of the cell

• Double layer • Nickname: Border Patrol• Analogy: Border

Cell Wall• Most commonly found

in plant cells• Supports & protects

cells• Nickname: Tree Bark• Analogy: brick wall

Nucleus

• Directs cell activities• Contains genetic

material – DNA• Nickname: Control

Center• Analogy: City Hall

Page 10: Cell Structure  & Function

Cytoplasm• Gel-like mixture• Surrounded by cell membrane• Nickname: Jello• Analogy: atmosphere (air)

Page 11: Cell Structure  & Function

Ribosomes• Each cell contains

thousands• Make proteins• Found on

Endoplasmic Reticulum & floating throughout the cell

• Nickname: Ribs!!• Analogy: Lumber Mill

Mitochondria• Produces energy through

chemical reactions – breaking down fats & carbohydrates

• Nickname: Powerhouse• Analogy: Power Plant

Vacuoles• Membrane-bound

sacs for storage, digestion, and waste removal

• Usually contains water• Much larger in plant

cells• Nickname: Ziploc bag• Analogy: Water Tower

Chloroplast• Usually found in plant

cells• Contains green

chlorophyll• Where photosynthesis

takes place• Nickname:

greenhouse• Analogy: solar panels

Lysosome• Digestive organelle for

proteins, fats, and carbohydrates

• Transports undigested material to cell membrane for removal

• Cell breaks down if lysosome explodes

• Nickname: Garbageman• Analogy: Waste
