Parts of Cells

The Nucleus or Control Center

The Organelles: Each has a specific job

The control center

Contains the DNA or Chromosomes

Is covered be a nuclear membrane

Contains the nucleolus where ribosomes are made

A series of channels or hallways; think of it as the assembly line!

On the surface proteins, carbohydrates and lipids can be made

RER has ribosomes

SER does not have ribosomes

Ribosomes make proteins

In charge of packaging and distribution

Molecules made at the ER are "finished" at the Golgi Complex

Vesicles move the molecules from place to place

The powerhouse of the cell

Provides the cell with energy

Has its own DNA!

Found in plant and animal cells

Where plants perform photosynthesis

Are bigger than mitochondria

Animal cells don't have thm

Have their own DNA

Use by animal cells to help them divide and make new cells

Occur in pairs

Have their own DNA

Vesicles or little sacs that contain enzymes

The enzymes help digest food

Considered the Janitors of the cell

Found in both plant and animal cells

Bigger in plant cells

Contain water and dissolved substances

Looks like a tail

Helps the cell move

Called cilia when they are short and numerous

Surrounds ALL cells

Controls what enters and leaves the cell

Found in plant cells for extra support

May be found in prokaryotic cells

Not found in animals cells

Protects and supports the cell
