Download Cytoplasm: Within cells, the cytoplasm is made up of a jelly

Cytoplasm: Within cells, the cytoplasm is made up of a jelly-like fluid (called the cytosol), all the
organelles are located here.
Cytoskeleton is a network of protein filaments that support & give shape to cell. It helps parts move or it
can form structures that help the whole organism move.
Ribosomes are organelles that process the cell’s genetic instructions to create proteins. These organelles
can float freely in the cytoplasm or be connected to the endoplasmic reticulum.
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER): This organelle may be smooth (makes lipids & breaks down toxins) or
rough with ribosomes attached. The ER assists in production, processing, & transport of proteins and
makes up about ½ the cell size.
Golgi Complex packages & distributes proteins. Molecules from ER are tagged with labels that
transport proteins will use to deliver to different parts of the cell.
Lysosomes: These organelles are the recycling center of the cell. They digest foreign bacteria that invade
the cell, rid the cell of toxic substances, and recycle worn-out cell components.
Mitochondria: Complex organelles that convert energy from food into a form that the cell can use. They
have their own genetic material, separate from the DNA in the nucleus, and can make copies of
themselves. Take O2 + C6H12O6 and make protein complexes.
Nucleus: Brains/blueprints. DNA located here on 46 compact units called chromosomes. Transcription
occurs when proteins copy segments of DNA onto mRNA! DNA is so awesome it never leaves nucleus.
