Welcome to the World of Cells!

• Cells make up all living things!
• They come in many shapes and sizes!
• They are the world of life science!

What is a Cell?

• A cell is the smallest unit of life.
• Your body is made up of trillions of cells with
  each one working hard to produce proteins.
  (Cells Main Job!)
• These proteins are used as building blocks for
  many different things. For example, your hair
  and nails are made up of a special protein made
  by cells.
• However, in order to carry out this important
  task, cells are made of tiny structures that work
  together. These tiny structures are called
  organelles. They work together just like a
  factory!

CELL MEMBRANE
Organelle Plant, Animal, or Both? Structure and Function This cell part is just like
Cell Membrane Both Surrounds the outside of the cell. Controls what substances can enter and exit the cell Security Guard
5
CELL WALL
Organelle Plant, Animal, or Both? Structure and Function This cell part is just like
Cell Wall Plant Surrounds the cell membrane It is a tough and rigid covering made of cellulose Gives a plant shape, support, and protection Cement between the bricks in a Brick Wall

CYTOPLASM (Cytosol)
Organelle Plant, Animal, or Both? Structure and Function This cell part is just like
Cytoplasm (cytosol) Both Jelly-like fluid in cell Holds all other organelles in place Jell-O

NUCLEUS
Organelle Plant, Animal, or Both? Structure and Function This cell part is just like
Nucleus Both Nucleus controls and directs all of the cells activities The nucleus also protects a cells genetic material called chromatin. Another word for chromatin is DNA. DNA contains all the instructions for what proteins it should make. Check out glowing mice and transparent frogs Mice - http//www.youtube.com/watch?vn0UzdYRnMtY Frogs - http//www.youtube.com/watch?vYZ4JmG-D9DM The nucleus is protected by a nuclear membrane. This membrane protects the nucleus allowing certain materials to enter and exit through pores. Brain

NUCLEOLUS
Organelle Plant, Animal, or Both? Structure and Function This cell part is just like
Nucleolus Both Dark region inside the nucleus The site where ribosomes are made Center of tootsie roll pop

RIBOSOMES
Organelle Plant, Animal, or Both? Structure and Function This cell part is just like
Ribosome Both Small, grain-like bodies floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the Endoplasmic Reticulum Responsible for making proteins Factory Worker
12
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Organelle Plant, Animal, or Both? Structure and Function This cell part is just like
ER Both A maze of tube-like membranes. Rough ER studded with ribosomes Acts as a passageway for protein material sending it to the Golgi body Smooth ER does not have ribosomes Acts as a passageway for non-protein material (fats and carbohydrates) Assembly Line Subway Tunnel

GOLGI BODY
Organelle Plant, Animal, or Both? Structure and Function This cell part is just like
Golgi body Both Flattened stacks of membrane (looks like pita bread) Works to package, tag, and ship a protein to its destination inside or outside of the cell. Mailroom

VESICLE
Organelle Plant, Animal, or Both? Structure and Function This cell part is just like
Vesicle Both Small membrane sacs Transports proteins from one part of the cell to another Factory Car Vesicle sounds like Vehicle

VACUOLE
Organelle Plant, Animal, or Both? Structure and Function This cell part is just like
Vacuole Both Plants Have 1 large vacuole filled with mostly water Animals Have many smaller vacuoles filled with food Plant Swimming Pool AnimalRefrigerator Vacuole sounds like Vaccuum

LYSOSOME
Organelle Plant, Animal, or Both? Structure and Function This cell part is just like
Lysosomes Both Small membrane sacs Contains special chemicals to digest food, old cell parts, or waste Garbage Disposal

MITOCHONDRIA
Organelle Plant, Animal, or Both? Structure and Function This cell part is just like
Mitochondria Both A jelly-bean shaped structure with an outer membrane and inner membrane which is folded. Produces usable energy for the cell by breaking down sugar called glucose (powerhouse of the cell) Battery
21
CHLOROPLAST
Organelle Plant, Animal, or Both? Structure and Function This cell part is just like
Chloroplast Plant Only A green, jelly-bean shaped structure with an outer and inner membrane Captures sunlight and uses it to produce food (glucose) for a plant cell Solar panel

The Inner Life of a Cell is Spectacular!

• Now that you know a cells job is to make
  proteins, watch these proteins in action as they
  work to make the inner life of a cell come alive.
  
• Harvard University selected XVIVO to develop an
  animation that would take their biology students
  on a journey through the microscopic world of a
  cell http//www.youtube.com/watch?vMszlckmc4Hw
