THREE BASIC PARTS OF THE CELL

1. Cell Membrane

2. Nucleus

3.Cytoplasm

Cell Membrane-Every cell is surrounded by a cell membrane.

-It is sometimes called a plasma membrane.

-The cell membrane separates the cell from its external environment and from the neighboring cells.

Nucleus-The nucleus is the most important organelle (Little Body) within the cell. It has two vital functions; to control the activities of the cell and to facilitate cell division.

-This spherical organelle is usually located in or near the center of the cell.

Cytoplasm- Cytoplasm is a sticky, semi fluid material found between the nucleus and the cell membrane. Chemical analysis of the cytoplasm shows that it consists of proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, minerals, salts, and water.

THE CYTOPLAMS AND

ORGANELLES

Cytoplasm

Jelly-like substance found inside cell that acts as a medium for chemical reactions within the cell

Golgi Body (Apparatus)

Packages the proteins made by the ribosome so they can be sent out of the cell. The UPS store of the cell

Mitochondrion

"powerhouse of the cell" breaks down sugar molecules to release energy, site of cellular respiration, double membrane, self-replicating, contains own DNA, cristae

Vacuole

"Storage tanks" Can hold food, water or waste for the cell

Ribosome

Makes proteins for the cell, can be found attached to the endoplasmic reticulum or free in the cytoplasm

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

*Transportation network for the cell, moves materials around in the cell.*Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)-endoplasmic reticulum that has ribosomes attached.*Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)- does not have ribosome's attached

Lysosome

"Stomach of the cell“ or “Suicide sacs”. Helps the cell digest food, waste and worn out cell parts

Chloroplast

A special plastid that contains chlorophyll a pigment that captures the sun's energy to produce glucose in a process called photosynthesis

Cell Wall

Rigid outer layer made of cellulose that supports and protects the cell (plant, fungi, and bacterial cells)

Vesicle

Stores and Transports substances from the Golgi Body to the cell membrane for export. "The UPS truck of the cell"

Cytoskeletongives support and shape to the cell, made of proteins

Centriole

Organizes special parts of the cytoskeleton called microtubules for cell division, migrates to opposite ends (poles) of the cell to assist with cell division
