Study Notes

  • Each organelle carries a specific function necessary for the cell to survive.
  • Organelles might represent companies, places or parts of the city because they each have their similar jobs.
  • Organelles need to work together for it to function smoothly.

Cell Membrane

  • Controls what goes in and out of cell.

Nucleus

  • Contains Cells and DNA.
  • Tells the cell what to do.

Ribosomes

  • Involved in the process of making membrane protein synthesis.
  • Makes protein and genetic info.

  • All cells have a membrane, cytoplasm, DNA (chromosome), and ribosomes.

  • Plant and fungal cells are boxy.

  • Animal cells have irregular shapes.

Cellular respiration

  • Light to glucose to energy.
  • Chloroplast to mitochondria.
  • Cytosol is the liquid inside.

Vacuole

  • Fuel from glucose and stores usable energy.
  • Breaks down things.
  • Animals each food to get glucose, then the mitochondria break it down
