What Kind of Cells have the Organelle?

• All Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, plant and animal cells.

• Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus.

Where is the Organelle Located?

• The nucleus is usually located in the center of the cell, but it is sometimes located in the cytoplasm.

Function of the Cell

• The function of the nucleus in a cell is to control the cell’s activity.

• It helps control eating, movement and reproduction.

If the Cell were a Factory

• If the cell were a factory, the nucleus would act as the main office because this is where all the decisions are made.

What Kind of Cells have the Organelle?

• All Eukaryotic Cells have lysosomes.

Where is the Organelle located in the Cell?

• Lysosomes are located in the Cytoplasm of Eukaryotic Cells.

What is the Function of the Organelle?

• Lysosomes hold enzymes that were produced in the endoplasmic reticulum.

What is it in a Factory?

• Lysosomes act as a storage closet in a factory because they hold enzymes.
