nucleus
cytoplasm
nucleolus
Specialized structures within a
living cell

Parts of the cell that act like
specialized “organs”

Description: outer
layer of the cell

 Mainly
composed of
lipids & proteins
 Lipid bi-layer &
embedded proteins
Function: regulates
what enters and
leaves the cell

Description: fluid like
substance that fills the area of
the cell outside the nucleus

Function: site of many cellular
activities; surrounds organelles


Function: control all activities of
the cell (acts like a brain)
 Chromatin
= coiled up DNA in nucleus

 Nuclear
Envelope = surrounds and
protests the nucleus
 Nucleolus
= dark spot in the middle
of the nucleus that helps make
ribosomes
nucleus
cytoplasm
nucleolus
Description: Particles
made up of RNA &
proteins. Found either:

 Free in the cytoplasm


Attached to other
organelles.
Function: make proteins
ribosomes
nucleus
cytoplasm
nucleolus
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)



Nickname: “Roads”
Function: The internal delivery system of the cell
(main transport system of the cell).

2 Types:
1.
Rough ER:
Rough appearance because it has ribosomes
 Function: helps make proteins, that’s why
it has ribosomes

2.
Smooth ER:
NO ribosomes
 Function: makes fats or lipids



Function: packages, modifies, and
transports materials to different
location inside/outside of the cell
Appearance: stack of pancakes
ribosomes
Smooth ER
Rough ER
nucleus
cytoplasm
nucleolus
Golgi apparatus
Description: small sacs of
digestive enzymes
 Function: breakdown
macromolecules & digest old
organelles (“clean up crew or
janitors”)


 You
are in charge of developing a tattoo to
allow the world to know about one of the
discussed organelles.
1. The centerpiece of the tattoo must be a slogan
representing the organelle.
2. The surrounding artwork (minimum of 3 colors)
must represent the organelle’s function
3. The artwork must be suitable for all ages and
appropriate for viewing in all social situations.
4. 5-7 complete sentence explanation of how the
artwork represents the organelle AND the best
location for the tattoo on the body
