ORGANELLES

Bacteria Attacks!!

CILIA/FLAGELLA

CILIA AND FLAGELLA FUNCTION? To move the cell around (flagella) Or move things around the cell (cilia)

CELL WALL

CELL WALL FUNCTION? To give the cell structure and to protect it

CELL MEMBRANE

FUNCTION? To control what goes in and out of the cell

LYSOSOME

FUNCTION? To digest things the cell doesn’t

want/need Old cell “parts” (organelles, etc) Intruding bacteria/viruses

Lysosomes are cellular organelles that contain acid hydrolase enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris. They can be described as the stomach of the cell. Lysosomes digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria.

MITOCHONDRIA

FUNCTION? To give the cell ENERGY!

Takes food and turns it into a useable form of energy

RIBOSOME

FUNCTION? To make proteins…

NOT for ENERGY!!! Proteins have functions in your body…you

only use proteins you EAT for energy…NOT ones your cells make for you!

ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM (ER)

FUNCTION? To modify and package materials

NUCLEUS

FUNCTION? Houses the DNA (protects it)

DNA

FUNCTION? To tell the cell how to make proteins

correctly

CHLOROPLAST

FUNCTION? Performs photosynthesis to turn sunlight

into glucose (The mitochondria then turns that glucose into

ATP – an energy source the cell can use)

VACUOLE

FUNCTION? To store things

Water, wastes, foods

GOLGI BODY

FUNCTION? To package things for export out of the

cell When a golgi vesicle is filled with digestive

enzymes, it can make a LYSOSOME!

CYTOPLASM

FUNCTION? The jelly-like material all the organelles

reside in…to give the cell support Contains all the macromolecules the cell

needs
