7.12DE Cell Organelles

Poll

Do all cells have organelles? 

yes

no 

3

​No..

​But all Eukaryotic cells do. This means both plant and animal cells are Eukaryotic cells.

​Prokaryotic cells refer to those without membrane bound organelles, like bacteria and archaea. (Don't need to know right now).

​Organelle

  • ​A structure inside a cell that performs a specialized function

    Organelles:

    • ​cell wall

    • cell membrane

    • nucleus

    • cytoplasm

    • mitochondria

    • chloroplast

    • vacuole

    • lysosomes

    • ER (smooth and rough)

    • Golgi complex

media

5

​Cell Membrane

  • ​lipid barrier

  • ​encloses the cytoplasm

  • ​controls what enters and exits the cell

  • ​protects and gives cell some structure

  • ​in both plant and animal cells

media

6

​Cell Wall

  • ​tough, protective barrier

  • ​made of cellulose

  • surrounds the outer membrane of plant cells

  • ​forms stiff and rigid structure to help plants grow tall

    NOT in animal cells

media

7

Multiple Choice

When water pressure changes in a plant cell, the cell wall _

1

regulates material into the cell 

2

helps the cell maintain its shape

3

converts light to energy 

4

separates genetic material 

8

​Cytoplasm

  • ​jellylike material

  • ​touches the inside of the cell membrane

  • ​holds the nucleus, organelles, and other components of the cell

  • ​in both plant and animal cells

media

9

Multiple Choice

Which organelle do both plants and animals have? 

1

cell wall 

2

chloroplast

3

cell membrane

10

​Vacuole

  • ​stores water waste and food

  • ​in both plant and animal cells

  • ​plant cells have big vacuoles to store water and keep their shape

  • ​animal cells have many small vacuoles or no vacuoles at all

media

11

​Nucleus

  • membrane-bound organelle in Eukaryotic cells

  • ​contains DNA - genetic material

  • ​control center of the cell

media

12

Multiple Choice

The nucleus is the control center of the cell. 

What organ in humans is this organelle comparable to? 

1

lung

2

brain 

3

heart

4

kidney

13

​Mitochondria

  • ​bean/peanut shaped with lots of folds for surface area

  • ​​functions in energy production​

  • ​powerhouse of the cell

  • ​in both plant and animal cells

  • ​breaks down sugars to make ATP (energy)

    • ​process called cellular respiration

media

14

​Cellular Respiration

  • ​process of obtaining energy from the breaking of chemical bonds in nutrients

  • ​in mitochondria

  • ​how cells get energy!

media

15

​Chloroplast

  • ​oval shaped membrane-bound organelle

  • ​site of photosynthesis

    • ​converts light energy into chemical energy

  • ​contains chlorophyll - the stuff that makes plants green

  • ​how plants get their food

  • ​only in plant cells

media

16

Multiple Choice

Animals find and eat food for energy. Plants cannot do this. What organelle functions similarly to animals eating food? 

1

cell wall

2

nucleus

3

chloroplast

4

mitochondria

17

​Photosynthesis

  • ​chemical reaction in plants

  • ​converts radiant energy from the Sun to chemical energy

  • ​converts carbon dioxide and water into sugar (glucose) and oxygen

media

18

Multiple Choice

What two organelles are ONLY in plant cells?

1

chloroplast

cell wall

2

cell membrane

cytoplasm

3

mitochondrion

vacuole

4

cell wall

mitochondrion 

19

​Other Organelles

20

​Endoplasmic Reticulum

(ER)

  • ​network to transport and store substances in the cell

  • ​pathway between nucleus and cell membrane

  • ​Smooth and Rough ER

  • ​ER (emergency room - ambulance transports you to the ER)

media

21

​Ribosomes

  • ​produce proteins

  • ​small round organelles

  • ​on Eough ER

media

22

​Lysosomes

  • ​break down food molecules and dead/injured cells

  • ​mostly in animal cells

  • ​Lysol cleaner

media

23

Multiple Choice

Lysosomes are similar to which organ system in humans? 

1

respiratory 

2

circulatory 

3

digestive

4

endocrine

24

​Golgi Body or Golgi Complex

  • ​produces lysosomes

  • ​packages proteins for the cell

  • ​releases proteins into cytoplasm

media

25

Multiple Choice

The golgi apparatus is most similar to _

1

the mall 

2

the post office
