Cellular Organelles
…a “division of labour”
Animal Cell
Guess the organelle! Tiny & oval shaped… Provide body with needed energy
in a process called “respiration” whereby sugar molecules are combined with oxygen to form carbon dioxide & water…as the products are formed, energy is released.
“power plant” of cell
Mitochondrion
Guess the organelle! Cell growth & reproduction require
the constant synthesis of proteins… Proteins are the molecules that
make up cell structure… Measure just 20 nm in length… Which organelles are responsible
for the synthesis of proteins?
Guess the organelle! Series of canals that carry materials
throughout the cytoplasm… The membranes can appear either
rough or smooth… rER is highly developed in cells of the
pancreas that secrete digestive enzymes
sER is free of ribosomes & is the area in which fats or lipids are synthesized
Guess the organelle! The “pancake-like” structures are
actually membranous sacs piled up on top of each other…
Protein molecules from the rER are stored within this apparatus…
The packaged protein membranes move towards the cell membrane & fuse with the membrane to be released as vesicles (exocytosis)
Division of Labor example... Proteins reach the end of the ER A sac forms around the proteins Now called a vesicle Vesicle breaks away from the ER
and moves towards the nearest sac of the Golgi body
Vesicle fuses & empties protein molecules into the Golgi body
Division of Labor example... Proteins pass from one sac to
another in vesicles formed from the Golgi complex (“mail must be sorted when it comes into the post office”)
Many membranes present in cells are interchangeable…they can be recycled from one part of the cell to another (same basic structure)
Guess the organelle! Formed by the Golgi bodies Sac-like structures that contain digestive
enzymes which break down large molecules & cell parts within the cytoplasm…
The swelling & pain associated with arthritis have been linked to the seepage of this organelle…cortisone is thought to strengthen this organelles membrane.
Guess the organelle! Tiny threadlike fibers that
transport materials throughout the cytoplasm…
Made of protein 2 types One is smaller than the other…
Special Structure of Plants! The organelles discussed to this point
are found in BOTH plant & animal cells Plant cells differ in that they can
produce their own food using specialized organelles called PLASTIDS
The vacuole is a fluid-filled space that occupies much of the cytoplasm. It is a storage space for sugars, minerals, & proteins.
Special Structure of Plants!
Most plant cells are surrounded by a nonliving cell wall made of cellulose.
Protects & supports the plant cell.
A loss of turgor pressure results in wilting plants
Plastids
Chloroplasts specialize in photosynthesis; green pigment chlorophyll
Chromoplasts store the orange & yellow pigments found in numerous plants.
Plastids Amyloplasts
are storehouses for starch (potato tubers & seeds)
Colorless plastids
