provides additional support and protection.

C. Cell Wall is not selective, it allows molecules to enter
Nucleus and Cell Control
A. The nucleus is the control center of a eukaryotic cell.
1. The nucleus contains all the directions to make a protein. (DNA)
B. DNA - is the set of directions for making proteins.
C. Chromatin – the strands of DNA
1. When a cell divides, the chromatin condenses to form chromosomes.
D. Nucleolus – is found inside the nucleus and makes ribosomes.

F. Ribosomes – the sites where cells produce proteins based of the directions contained in DNA
1. Ribosomes are made of RNA. They are not bound by a membrane.
G. Cytoplasm – clear, gelatinous fluid in the cells that is the site of numerous chemical reactions, it suspends the organelles.
Assembly, Transport & Storage
*
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
folded membranes that are the site of cellular
chemical reactions. Proteins and lipids are manufactured here. It is also a network of tubules that contributes to protein distribution.
a. Rough ER – location where ribosome attach to the ER to carry out
protein synthesis
b. Smooth ER - ER that has no ribosomes, involved in storage and formation of lipids.
Golgi Apparatus
Sorts proteins into packages and sends them to the appropriate vesicles
to be distributed.
Vacuole
membrane bound sac used for temporary storage in the cell.

Vacuoles store food, enzymes and other materials the cell may need.
Lysosomes
Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes.

Lysosomes digest excess/worn out organelles, food particles, and engulfed bacteria/virus.
Chloroplasts and Energy
Chloroplasts and Energy

1.Chloroplasts – organelles that capture light energy to convert into chemical energy.
Chloroplasts are part of a group of plastids.
2. Plastids- are plant organelles that are used for storage.
3. Chlorophyll – the pigment that gives plants their green color and traps light energy.

Mitochondria and Energy
1. Mitochondria – transform sugar molecules into energy for the cell. They are found in plant and animal cells.
2. In the mitochondria the energy is stored in the bonds of a special molecule called ATP that can be accessed easily when the cell needs energy.

In the mitochondria the energy is stored in the bonds of a special molecule called __________ that can be accessed easily when the cell needs energy.
ATP
Cytoskeleton
1. Cytoskeleton – is the support structure of the cell.

The cytoskeleton is made up of rods called microtubules and filaments.

2. Microtubules – are hollow tubes of protein.

Microtubules aid in support like scaffolding or the poles of a tent.
What is the cytoskeleton and what does it do?

What do you know about Cilia & Flagella?
Cilia & Flagella

Cilia and flagella are both organelles that are made of microtubules and aid
in feeding or locomotion.
1. Cilia – Short, numerous, and look like hair. They move in a rowing motion.
2. Flagella – Long, and have a whip-like motion.
