The Cellular Organelles include:
Cell Membrane: is like the skin that
surrounds and protects the contents of the
cell. The cell membrane controls the
movement of substances in and out of the
cell.
Cytoplasm- is the jelly-like center that helps
support other structures in the cell.
Nucleus- is a large dark and round and is
easily found. It contains Chromosomes,or
DNA. The nucleus is the brain of the cell.
Vacuoles- are balloon like spaces within the
cytoplasm which are used for food storage
and waste disposal.
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)- folded
membrane that forms a system of canals for
transport of substances throughout the cell.
Mitochondria- oval shaped organelles which
produce energy for the cell. Muscle cells
have more mitochondria as they need more
energy to function.
Plastids- are associated with the production
and storage of food in plants.
Chloroplasts- are plastids that contain the
green pigment chlorophyll. They specialize
in photosynthesis.
Chromoplasts are another type of plastid
that store the orange and yellow pigments
found in plants.
Colorless plastids are called amyloplasts and
are storehouses for starch.
Cell walls are non-living walls around the
cell membranes of plants. They are
composed of cellulose (fiber) and their main
function is to support the cell and give it its
rigid shape.
Some cells have only one primary cell wall,
while others need extra strength and have a
secondary cell wall.
Talk with your group: 1.What types of plant
cells may need a secondary cell wall? 2.Why
would you expect to find more amyloplasts
in a potato tuber (root) than a potato leaf.
Give me another example of where you
might find amyloplasts.
