CELL MEMBRANE
• Layers that cover the cells
surface, acts as a barrier
between inside and outside of
cell.
• To control the passage of
material into and out of cells.
• Covers the outside of the cell.
• The cell membrane is like the
skin of an apple.
CYTOPLASM
• Jelly like material found in the
cell
• Made up of water and
chemicals
NUCLEUS
•Contains the DNA, serves as a
control center, membrane covered
organelles.
•Holds the DNA, the nucleus
contains kinds of DNA.
•In the center of the cell.
•Looks like the core of an apple.
MITOCHONDRIA
• Function: (Powerhouse of the cell)
–Produce ATP from cellular respiration.
• Location: Near Endoplasmic Reticulum
• How they Look:(Made of two membranes)
–Outer surrounds the organelle
–Inner provides lots of surface area for
chemical reactions to take place.
–Shaped like a kidney bean.

RIBOSOMES
• Functions: They make protein and
DNA.
• Location in cell: Near the nucleus,
nuclear membrane, and on or around
endoplasmic reticulum.
• How they look: They look like an
orange maze, very small, and
shaped like a bird foot.

ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
(ER)
• Function:
–Makes proteins, lipids, and other
materials
• Location:
–Near Nucleus
• Looks like:
–Coral in the ocean

Golgi Apparatus
LYSOSOMES
 Functions
 Destroys worn out or
damaged organelles
 Get rid of waste materials
 Protect the cell from
foreign invaders
 Location
 Dots throughout the cell
 Looks
 Little blue bubbles

VACUOLE
• Function:
–storage tank for the cell (food, water,&
waste)
–central vacuoles help build stalks and
stems.
• Location:
–drift through the cytoplasm
• Look Like:
–Water balloons

CELL WALL
• Function:
–Provides structure and protection.
• Location:
–Outside of the cell
• Looks like:
–A cast for a broken bone.
CHLOROPLAST
• Function – make food using
the energy of sunlight.
• Location – near the cell
membrane.
• How It Looks – green ,half of
a sphere

CHROMOSOMES
• Function: Holds the
DNA and proteins of
cells.
• Location: In the
nucleus.
• Look : Looks like
colorful gummy
worms.
Vesicles
• Function - Helps transport
materials through the cell and out
of the cells.
• Location – in the cell.
• How it looks – circular.
