Cell Factory

Stiff structure outside of plant cells. Gives the plant cell its structure.

• Plasma membrane

• Cell wall

• Golgi Body

• Mitochondria

Organelle only found in eukaryotic cells and contains genetic information.

• nucleus

• cytoplasm

• lysosomes

• rough endoplasmic reticulum

This organelle is like the "CEO" of a factory because it controls the cell activity and determines what proteins will be made.

• cytoplasm

• mitochondria

• ribosome

• nucleus

This organelle is like the factory floor. It contains all the organelles and where most of the cell activity occurs.

• cytoplasm

• lysosome

• smooth endoplasmic reticulum

• rough endoplasmic reticulum

This organelle is like shipping and receiving part of the factory because it determines what goes in and out of the cell.

• nucleus

• mitochondria

• vacuole

• plasma (cell) membrane

This organelle is like the assembly line in the factory. This is where the workers (ribosomes) do their work. *think where do most of the ribosomes hang out?

• rough endoplasmic reticulum

• smooth endoplasmic reticulum

• nucleus

• mitochondria

This organelle is similar to the workers in a factory because they make the proteins.

• lysosome

• golgi body

• ribosomes

• cell wall

This organelle is similar to the finishing and packaging department because it prepares the proteins for export.

• golgi body

• cytoplasm

• smooth endoplasmic reticulum

• plasma (cell) membrane

This organelle is similar to the maintenance crew in a factory because it breaks down and absorbs materials taken in by the cell.

• ribosomes

• golgi body

• lysosomes

• cytoskeleton

This organelle is like the power plant of the animal cell because it transforms one form of energy into another.

• cell wall

• mitochondria

• lysosome

• ribosomes
