Cell Organelles #1
These are small "organs" in a cell that have a specific job.
Organelles
This organelle controls the passage of materials in and out of the nucleus
Nuclear membrane/Nuclear envelope
Uses sunlight energy to make "food" in plants
chloroplast
This organelle makes proteins in the cell
ribosomes
Responsible for producing important hormones for the body
Endocrine System
The smallest level of organization
cell
The directions for making organisms. Contains hereditary information.
DNA
This organelle is the powerhouse of the cell that turns food into energy.
Mitochondria
DNA is located inside of this organelle
Nucleus
This type of cell does not have any organelles
Prokaryotic Cell
Responsible for removing waste from the body
Excretory System
Group of organs working together
Organ system
This organelle controls what substances go in and out of the cell.
Cell membrane
This organelle creates ribosomes. Be specific!
Nucleolus
This organelle is gel-like and holds the other organelles
Cytoplasm
List 2 organ systems that are working together:
Sam’s grandmother took him to the doctor’s office because he's had the chills and has been ill for several days. The doctor checked Tim’s blood for white blood cells to determine if he had an infection.
Immune, Integumentary, Circulatory
Group of tissues working together to perform a specific function
Organ
This organelle stores water and material in cells
Vacuoles
This is the basic unit of structure and function in a living thing.
cell
Cellular Respiration takes place in the
This organelle cleans and removes waste from the cell
lysosomes
List 2 organ systems that are working together:
You have a headache after your meeting with the principal. You take some medicine and your headache goes away.
Digestive, Circulatory, Immune
The largest level of organization
Organism
These 2 organelles are found in plant cells and NOT in animal cells.
cell wall and chloroplasts
This organelle moves the proteins around the cell.
Be Specific!
Rough endoplasmic reticulum/ Rough ER
This type of cell has a more rectangular or boxy shape
Plant
This organelle is responsible for the packaging and shipping of substances throughout the cell and across the membrane.
Golgi body
List 2 organ systems that are working together:
A dog, Skipper, is roaming around his neighborhood. Skipper chases a boy and then passes one of his favorite spots and he lifts his leg to urinate on a fire hydrant.
Muscular, Excretory, Respiratory, Circulatory
A group of epithelial cells working together to perform a specific function. Be specific!
