Looking Inside Cells
Organelles in the Cytoplasm
Mitochondria
Powerhouse of the cell
Converts food to energy
Endoplasmic Reticulm
Passageways for proteins
Ribosomes
They produce protein and send it to the Golgi bodies
Golgi Bodies
They receive protein protect it and carry it to different parts of the cell
Chloroplasts
Capture energy and produce food for the cell
Vacuoles
Storage area
They store food and other substances
Lysosomes
Contains chemicals that break down other substances
Sail on to the Nucleus
Nuclear Enevelope
Membrane surrounding the nucleus
Materials pass through pores in it to the nucleus
Chromatin
Little strands in front of the nucleus
They contain genetic material
They also help carry information for the cell
Nucleolus
Small pieces of a cell that makes ribosomes
ribosomes are organelles that make proteins
Proteins are important chemicals
Nucleus
Cells control center
Enter the Cell
Cell Wall
Helps to protect and support the cell
Rigid layer surrounding the cell
Cell Membrane
Controls what goes in and out of a cell
Located just within the cell wall
A cell membrane is like a window screen
Specialized Cells
Cells are different so they can perform different functions
Cells are usually organized into tissues and organs
