Comparing Organelles to Body Systems

1
Comparing Organelles to Body Systems
2
Cell Wall

• A stiff wall surrounding the cell membrane of a
  plant cell needed for protection
• Responsible for the shape/support of the cell

Body System? Skeletal Protects organs and gives
organism its shape/support
3
Cell Membrane

• A protective barrier between the cytoplasm and
  outside of the cell
• Controls what enters and leaves the cell

Body Systems? Integumentary System
(Skin) Protects against invaders and also
controls what enters and leaves an organisms
system.
4
Cytoplasm

• Gel-like fluid in which organelles are supported
• Transports materials within the cell

Body Systems? Circulatory transports materials
around the body
5
Nucleus

• The control center of the cell and directs all
  cell activities

Body Systems? Brain and Central Nervous
System Controls most body functions
6
Mitochondria

• Mitochondria breaks down nutrients to release
  energy using oxygen (cellular respiration)

Body Systems? Digestive Breaks down food into
molecules used by an organism for energy release
7
Golgi Body

• Packages and sends out proteins

Body System? Digestive Breaks down food and
repackages it into tiny molecules for body cells
8
Ribosomes

• Manufactures proteins and sends them to the parts
  of the cell where they are needed

Body System? Digestive Takes in food and
converts it into needed molecules
9
Lysosomes and Vacuoles

• Lysosomes break down cell parts and remove wastes
• Vacuoles Store waste and necessary materials

Body System? Excretory Removes waste from body
cells
10
Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Transports material from one part of the cell to
  another

Body System? Circulatory Transports material
around the entire body
