Major Cell Parts and
Organelles
Plasma membrane (a.k.a. cell
membrane)
 Surrounds
cell - keeps contents separated
from surroundings
 Has protein channels & pores which let
things in and out
Cell Wall

Outermost structure
of a plant



Cellulose
Dead
Gives support and
shape
Cytoplasm
(cell - jelly like substance)

Holds all the
organelles
 Maintains internal
environment
 (reminder - all cells
have this)
Cytoskeleton

Network of fibers
giving:



Shape
Support
Place where
movement of cell parts
can occur within cell
Nucleus

Information center of
cell
 Stores genes (as
chromosomes)
Yeast cell
nucleus

pores
NUCLEUS
Two membranes
of nuclear
envelope
Chromatin
Nucleolus
Pore
ROUGH
ENDOPLASMIC
RETICULUM
Ribosomes
Figure 4.6
Chromosomes
 Contain
30,000 - 40,000 genes
 Genes code for traits (eye color,
height, etc.)
Mitochondria

Changes food
(glucose) into usable
energy (ATP)
Endoplasmic Reticulum

Channels of
membranes used for
transporting materials

2 Types:
Rough - ribosomes
attached
1)
Ø
2)
Proteins for export
Smooth - no ribosomes
attached
Ø
Lipids and carbohydrates
Rough ER

ROUGH ER
Nucleolus
 Produces
Ribosomes
 Found within nucleus
• NucleOLus
QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
Ribosomes
 Initiates
or begins the synthesis of proteins
• If free - protein stays in cell
• If attached to ER - protein leaves cell
Golgi Apparatus

Packaging and
distribution center


Into a membrane
bound package called
a vesicle…..
Modifies, sorts, and
ships products

Especially proteins

0%
Vesicle
Lysosomes
(to burst or destroy bodies)
 Sac
of digestive
enzymes
 Digests used cell
parts and invaders
 Recycles parts of
destroyed “things”
Rough ER
Transport vesicle
(containing inactive
hydrolytic enzymes)

“Food”
LYSOSOMES

Digestion
Central Vacuole
 WATER
and
salts storage
 Large in plants
 Helps give
plants support

Chloroplasts

In plants only
 Converts energy from
sun into food
(glucose)
