Most
Energetic!
Hobbies: I like to capture
light energy and conserve it
in the form of ATP. I also
like to reduce NADP to
NADPH through this fun
game called photosynthesis
Favorite Hang-Out Spot: I do not
have a specific hang out spot, I am
pretty social. The kind organelle that
roams around the entire cell
My family and I at
home
Siblings: I have
about 10 – 100
members in my
family!
Extra Curricular Activities: I’m not a dog person, or a cat person…or any kind of
animal person, you will only fine me in a plant cell.

Golgi Apparatus
Hobbies: Modifies and packages proteins and lipids
into vesicles then transports them to where they’re
needed in the cell
Fav. Hangout spot: Inside the cell
floating in the cytoplasm close to
the E.R.
Extracurricular Activities: They’re found universally in plant and animal cells
Siblings: The number of 'Golgi apparatus' within a cell is variable.
Animal cells tend to have fewer and larger Golgi apparatus usually
between 10 and 20. Plant cells can contain as many as several
hundred smaller versions.
Atharva Bhave pd.7
Ribosomes
My Favorite Hang-out: I'm normally
found outside the Nucleus more toward the
outside of the cell.
Hobbies:
-I am made of RNA(a protein), I assemble the
proteins in a cell.
Extra-curricular Activities:
- I am found in eukaryotic cells.
-I am in both animal and plant cells.
-It is essential for all cells to have me there.

Vesicle
Hang out spots
Hobbies
•
•
•
•
• The main hobby of a vesicle is
transporting nutrients from
various cells
• They also digest cellular
products
Vesicles tend to be located in cells
Another spot where Vesicles tend to be is in proteins
Also the can even be found in organelles
Even though they are in many places they tend to
transport and not stay in one spot for a long period of
time
Activities
• The vesicle can be located in any
organism such as people or
animals
• But the organism would have to
have cells and organelles in order
to have the vesicle
Siblings
•
•
•
•
The vesicle has vacuoles
Lysosomes
Transport vesicles
Secretary vesicles
Nucleoplasm
Siblings
-It is all by lonesome, enveloped as one whole substance outside
The nucleoli
-Related to Cytosol, which takes 70% of the cell’s volume. It is
Similar in form and function
Extracurricular Activities
-Specifically found only in Eukaryotic Cells, thus
It is found in fungi, protists, plants and animal cells
Where can you find it?
-Found in the Nucleus of a cell
-Outside of the Nucleolus, within the Cell Wall
What does it do?
-”Suspension Medium” for
Organelles, it holds them together
-Maintains Nuclear shape and structure
-Transport of ions, molecules, and other
Substances
-Protects Nucleolus
Joo-Ho Kim – Period 7
Nuclear
Membrane
I hang out inside the cell, right
outside the nucleus!
I am most known for holding the
nucleus together, and
transporting materials in and out
of the nucleus. I’m kind of like
the security system for the
nucleus.
I am in eukaryotic cells, plants
and animal. So I’m in any cell with
a nucleus.
I’m an only child, There is only
one cell membrane in each cell, I
am one of a kind, at least in my
Nuclear
membrane
Annie Gawroniak 7
Cell Membrane
(Most likely to become
a Police Officer)
Due to security reasons, I
cannot be captured in a
picture in case the enemy
sees me and knows what to
evolve into
Favorite Hang-Out? I’m wrapped all over
the border; everywhere in the border.
Hobbies? Like a good officer, I always make
sure to let friends into our cell. If they’re
suspicious, I kick ‘em out and send for the
antibody FBI after them to ensure safety
Siblings? I’m an only child. You only need
one me to get everything in and out
Extracurriculars? I’m in every single cell. A
cell without me is a house with no walls
Danielle Han p7
Smooth Endoplasmic
Reticulum
Favorite Hang out –
I live in Cytoplasm ( through out
the cell) mostly in Liver / Brain
Found specifically in cells
producing lipids and steroids
Siblings –
My siblings depends on what
cell it is.

HobbiesLiver- to detoxify certain
compounds
Brain- To synthesize with
hormones
The Smooth ER is long and stringy
to help transport things throughout
the cell.
Extracurricular Activities –
I am found in both animal and
plant cells, a greater amount in
brain and liver ones
I am not found in muscle cells
The smooth ER detoxifies and
synthesizes lipids and
carbohydrates. Cells that are in
livers tend to have a greater smooth
ER concentration compared to a
skin cell.
My working buddies are Golgi
body and the ribosomes. The
ribosomes make proteins, the Golgi
body packages the proteins and the
smooth ER helps to transport them
throughout the cell.

Microtubule:
• Microtubules Hang out all
through out the inside of the
cell. Microtubules are long
hollow rods.
• They help form the structure of
the cell. Also they provide a
network for substances to move
around the cell.
• Found in all Eukaryotic cells.

Chromosome
Favorite Hang-Out Spot: In the nucleus which is in the middle of
the cell.
Hobbies: Carrying hereditary materials across generations and
it is made up of densely coiled up chromatin.
Extracurricular Activities: Found in all animal and plant cells and
any plant/animal cell that has a nucleus has chromosomes
Siblings: In Eukaryotes found in the nucleus there are normally
46 chromosomes in animals and less than 40 in plant cells.

Centriole
Favorite Hang-Out Spot:
You can find me in near the center of
a cell, right outside the nucleus in
the centrosome.
Hobbies:
In my free time, I like to help cells divide
and reproduce. Mitosis is my life. I make
reproducing a more efficient and less
error-prone process.
Siblings:
I am usually a twin. However, during
the division of a cell my twin and I
separate and grow apart, moving to
opposite sides of the cell. Then when
the cell divides, so do me and my twin!
But in the new cell I get a new twin.
Extracurricular Activities:
You can find me in some eukaryotic cells. I
am in all animal cells, however I do not
like to be in plant or fungi cells.
Favorite Hang-Out Spot
The RER likes to hang near the center of things
[the nucleus], and closes the space between it
and the other organelles.
The
“RER”
Rough
Endoplasmic
Reticulum
Extracurricular Activities
Found in all eukaryotic cells except
mammals’ red blood cells, the RER is
one of the most well-rounded and
popular organelles of them all!
Hobbies
The RER aids in the production
and processing of proteins by
folding them into threedimensional structures
(secondary, tertiary, and
quaternary protein structures). It
is also what allows proteins to
travel from the ribosomes
(harbored inside it) to the other
parts of the cell.
Siblings
The RER has no siblings- it’s an only
child!- but it varies in size from cell to
cell and periods during a cell’s life. On
the other hand, the RER has a cousin:
the SER, or Smooth Endoplasmic
Reticulum.

Mitochondrion
• Favorite Hang-out Spot: anywhere in the
cytoplasm
• Hobbies: providing energy for cell to perform its
tasks (without the mitochondria, the cell
wouldn’t run!)
• Extracurricular Activities: it is not present in all
cells such as prokaryotes and RBC but it is in all
eukaryotes
• Siblings: the numbers vary from one to several
thousand (mom and dad lost count!)

MICrofIlament
• One of my favorite places to hang out is Cytoskeleton Corner
but I can also be found anywhere within Cytoplasm City.
• My hobbies include providing structural support, helping
with certain movements and resisting tension.
• Currently my main extracurricular activity is being involved
with the Association of Eukaryotic Cells.
• Lots of people like to call me Actin filament.
• I have so many siblings that it’s hard to count.
• Shout out to my bestie Microtubule! XOXO
Serena Jia Pd 7
Our favorite hang-out spot is in
the cytoplasm, but we try to stick
to the nucleus.
When we’re together, our
hobbies are:
A) Making microtubules that
help make cytoskeleton,
B) Acting as a signal to start
cytokinesis, it can’t happen
without us!
C) Signaling to daughter cells to
start duplicating their
chromosomes in the S Phase
D) Helping organize the baby
mRNA. We need to make sure
that they go home with the
right daughter cell.
E) Organizing the primary cilium.
F) In some developing neurons,
wherever we are is where the
axon will grow out of.
We do extracurricular
volunteering at Animal Cell.
We actually have a close
cousin who’s not a twin
(doesn’t have centrioles)
and he volunteers at Plant
Cell. He does mostly the
same things we do.
Centrosome

Romell Khan Period 7
Nuclear Pore
•My favorite spot to hangout is
totally the Nuclear Envelope!
•I love allowing the transport of
water-soluble molecules across
the Nuclear Envelope
•I have about 2000 siblings
•I am in every Eukaryotic Cell
Whenever I ask the ribosomes and
RNA ‘what’s up?’ they always reply
‘Just passing through!’
Gabi Tagliaferro pd. 7
Intermediate Filament-de la Rosa
The Intermediate Filament is located all over the cell; four of five types of IF are
found in the cytoplasm of the cell, 1 of 5 is found in the nucleus.
The IF job is that they keep the cell’s shape, and maintains the cell and
organelle’s motility.
IF is found in all animal cells, but not plant cells.
Kristen de la Rosa
Period 7
Nucleolus
Favorite Hang-Out Spot: I'm found in the center
of the inside of a cell
Hobbies: I directs the assembly of proteins
within the cell nucleus
Extracurricular Activities: Eukaryotic cells often
contain a single nucleolus, but several are also
possible. The exact number of nucleoli is fixed
among members of the same species.
Siblings: Nucleus
VACUOLE
voted “largest organelle” in the plant cell category
Hey, I’m Vacuole!
You may have seen me hanging out opposite the
nucleus in the plant cell, around the smooth
endoplasmic reticulum and the chloroplast.
I especially enjoy helping out my friend Cell Wall
building and stalks and stems! My other hobbies
include helping single-celled organisms regulate
their water content; storing up organic
molecules, water, and waste, as well as disposing
of waste.
You may know a couple of my siblings, too, but
they only hang out in animal cells, not plants cells.
Extracurricular activities: Animal and Plant Cells
