organelles & their jobs
this "bossy" organelle gives orders and contains a cell's DNA
what is the nucleus?
this structure gives plant cells their rigid, rectangular shape
what is the cell wall?
this jelly-like substance fills the cell and holds organelles in place
what is the cytoplasm?
it's trash day! this organelle acts like a friendly neighborhood garbage collector :)
what is the lysosome?
if the nucleus were your school principal, which organelle would be the assistant principal delivering announcements?
and why???
this organelle is the cell's "sun-powered chef," making food for plant cells
what is the chloroplast?
animal cells have these small organelles for storage, but in plants they are massive
what are vacuoles?
these organelles work together in plants: one creates food and the other turns it into usable energy?
what are the chloroplast and mitochondria?
what is the mitochondria?
if mitochondria ran out of energy, what's something funny the cell might say?
*joke*
this organelle breaks down waste and old cell parts using enzymes
what is the lysosome?
only animal cells have these recycling/waste-managing organelles
what are lysosomes?
the cell membrane is described as "semi-permeable." what does that mean?
the cell membrane allows some materials in and out, but not all of them; it is selective
i'm walking on sunshine! actually... i'm floating around in... this...
what is the cytoplasm?
if you were floating in cytoplasm, name one thing you'd bump into
and why???
this organelle is responsible for making lipids
what is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
both cell types have this outer layer that controls what enters and leaves the cell
what is the cell membrane?
why do all organelles rely on mitochondria?
mitochondria produces ATP, the energy that every organelle needs to function
oooh, i'm so smooth and i make oily and fatty molecules! ooh lala!
what is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
imagine all the lysosomes go on strike. what problem would the cell face?
what is a build-up of waste (old cell parts and broken molecules)
this "storage tank" organelle is huge in plant cells and helps them stand tall
what is the central vacuole?
explain why plants are sturdy and upright while animals are flexible
plants have a cell wall and large central vacuole that provide structure; animal cells lack a cell wall and do not have a rigid structure
what 3 organelles all work together to manufacture, sort, and package complex proteins?
what are ribosomes, the rough endoplasmic reticulum, and the golgi apparatus?
i'm a __________ ____l! i have CLASS! i keep my genetic material all folded up in my nucleus! >:( hmph!
what is eukaryotic cell?
if plants made a commercial for their chloroplasts, what would the slogan be? (your answers must describe their real function)
*give us a jingle*
