cell f unction activity

Cell Function ActivityTry to figure out the name that goes with the function before the answer appears

Transport Proteins•are used to move needed substances or waste material through the plasma membrane

A True Nucleus• Found in the center of every

eukaryotic cell• contains the DNA • Manages cellular functions

Chromatin Long strands of genetic

material (DNA) found in the nucleus, contain the master set of proteins, found in plant and animal cells

Chromosomes

•When a cell divides, the chromatin condenses to form these DNA strands

Nucleolus•are found in the nucleus and make the ribosomes

RibosomesThe sites where the cell produces proteins according to the DNA

Translated RNA

•are the blueprints containing DNA

Nuclear Envelopea structure that separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm

Cytoplasm is the clear, gelatinous fluid inside a cell

suspends the cell’s organelles

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

•Only found in eukaryotic cells•The site where cellular chemical reactions occur

Golgi apparatus• Only found in eukaryotic cells• Flattened stack of tubular

membranes that modify the proteins• Sorts proteins into packages and

packs them

Vesicles• Sends the protein packages

from Golgi Apparatus to the proper destinations (like the post office sorts the mail)

VacuolesOnly found in eukaryotic cells

Compartments that temporary store materials.

Some store food, while others store waste, enzymes, and other materials

Lysosomes Only found in some

eukaryotic cells Contain digestive enzymes They digest excess and

worn organelles, food particles, and engulf viruses or bacteria

Chloroplast• found in green plant cells

and some protists• are like the nucleus, has a

double membrane

Thylakoid membranes

The inner membrane system of chloroplast

Function is to caught the energy from the sun

GranaResemble a stack of coins in the chloroplast

Stroma

The fluid that surrounds the stacks of grana

Plastids•A group of plant organelles in the chloroplast • which are used for storage

Chlorophyll•Green Chloroplast pigment

MitochondriaOnly found in eukaryotic cells

Power house

Cytoskeleton•Only found in eukaryotic

cells• forms the framework of

the cell (like the skeleton inside us)

Microtubules•thin cylinder rods made of proteins

Microfilaments

are smaller than microtubules

solid protein filaments

Centrioles-

organelles found in the cells of animals and most protists

They occur in pairs and are made up of microtubules

play a role in cell division

Cilia•are numerous short hair-like projections

•long projections that have a whip-like motion

Flagella
