The Cell Organelles
(Typical Animal Cell)
Cell Organelles are small structures
that help carry out life functions
Cell Membrane
Nucleus
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Ribosomes
Golgi Body
Lysosome
Mitochondria
Vacuoles
Cell Membrane
The cell membrane separates the cell
from its surrounding environment, The
membrane controls the movement of
materials into and out of the cell. This
makes it possible for the cell contents
to be chemically different from the
environment.
It is described as “selectively” or “semi” permeable because not all
things can go through

Lipid Bilayer
Enzyme
Protein Receptor
Protein Channel
Nucleus
The control center for metabolism
and reproduction. Houses the
genetic information
(chromosomes).

Nucleus
Real under
electron
Microscope
Endoplasmic Reticulum
System of fluid-filled canals, or channels,
enclosed by membranes. Serve as paths to
transfer materials throughout the cell.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
(Rough = with Ribosomes)
Ribosome
Endoplasmic Reticulum
RER or ER (without ribosomes)
The Real Thing
Ribosomes
The site of protein synthesis.
These Ribosomes
are colored
enhanced.
They can be found
on the ER or
floating in the
cytoplasm
Golgi bodies
Golgi bodies aid in the preparation and storage of
molecules to be secreted by the cell. Proteins made at
ribosomes are often packaged by the Golgi complex
R.ER
These two organelles
often work together
Golgi body
Golgi In Action
Outside Cell
Inside Cell
Lysosomes
Involved in the digestion of food with in the cell.
They contain enzymes - they
will eventually combine with
food vacuoles to digest food.
Sometimes they are opened
up and destroy worn-out cells
Mitochondria
Releases energy stored in food molecules (cellular
respiration).
Food = chemical bond energy = organic molecule
Cellular Respiration
Taking energy out of food
and converting it into a form
that can be used by the cell
(ATP)
Vacuole
Storage site for cell products (water, food, waste
products)
Plant Cell
Cell Wall
Lies just outside the cell membrane, and gives the cell
its shape and provides protection for the cell.
(Adds Structural Support)
Mainly made of the carbohydrate called cellulose
Large Vacuole
Plant cells have large vacuoles that are typically used
as a storage site for waste products.
Very Large
Chloroplast
The place where photosynthesis takes place. They are
green because they contain a green pigment called chlorophyll
The green
pigment captures
the light energy
