Cell Organelles & Their Function

On page 39 in your unit 6 notes, complete the missing vocabulary definitions by going through the Quizziz slides and answer the questions along the way.
Yes this Quizziz Notes is WORTH A COMPLETION GRADE.

The Nucleus: Blueprint for Proteins

• Nucleus: "The Brain" of a Eukaryotic cell, coordinates cell activities and stores genetic information (DNA)

• DNA: Found in nucleus, blueprint for proteins

• Ribosome: "Protein Facory" Receives DNA instructions from nucleus to create proteins

• Proteins: Essential for cell functions and structure

Multiple Choice

Which organelle receives DNA instructions to create proteins?

• Nucleus

• DNA

• Ribosome

• Proteins

The World of Cell Organelles

• Cell Membrane: Surrounds the cell, acts as a protective barrier, and maintains cell integrity.

• Cytoplasm: "Cell Fluid" Gives the cell its shape, allows materials to pass between organelles, and contains important molecules like enzymes, glucose, and amino acids.

Multiple Choice

Which organelle is responsible for maintaining the structure of the cell and allows certain objects in and out of the cell?

• Cell Membrane

• Cytoplasm

• Hormones

• Antibiotics and Enzymes

The World of Cell Organelles

• Cell Wall: Found in plant and fungal cells, it provides structure, protection, and prevents water loss.
• Chloroplasts: Found in plant cells, they enable photosynthesis, allowing plants to produce sugar from sunlight.
• Lysosomes: Break down old cell parts and aid in digestion.

Multiple Choice

Which organelle breaks down old cell parts and aids in digestion?

• Cell Wall

• Chloroplasts

• Lysosomes

• Mitochondria

Lysosomes:

Lysosomes are organelles that break down old cell parts and aid in digestion. They contain enzymes that help break down waste materials and cellular debris. Lysosomes are like the recycling centers of the cell, ensuring that the cell stays clean and functional. Without lysosomes, cells would accumulate waste and become inefficient.

The Amazing World of Cell Organelles

• Lysosomes: Single membrane organelles filled with digestive enzymes that break down complex molecules, including sugars and proteins.
• Mitochondria: Known as the PowerHouse of the cell, it is a major site of ATP production, which is the cell's energy source.
• ATP: Used by protein pumps in the cell membrane for active transport of materials in and out of the cell.

Multiple Choice

Which organelle is known as the PowerHouse of the cell?

• Lysosomes

• Mitochondria

• ATP

• Protein pumps

Mitochondria:

The Powerhouse of the Cell Did you know that mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP? They are often called the 'powerhouse of the cell' because they generate most of the cell's supply of ATP through cellular respiration. Without mitochondria, our cells wouldn't have enough energy to function properly. Talk about an essential organelle!

Vacuole:

Storage within the Cell:

Used to store nutrients, and water. In animals cells; Vacuoles are small but abundant. In Plant Cells; there is 1 central Vacuole that is much larger than animal cells.

Microfilaments & Microtubules:

Provide structure and support for cells. Responsible for splitting chromosomes (DNA) during the process of cell division

More Organelles

Cilia and Flagella: Help cells move or aid in the movement of particles surrounding cells "Cell Tail"
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): can be either rough or smooth. Function is the production and secretion of steroid hormones. helps metabolise carbs.
Golgi Apparatus: Receives proteins & Lipids, sorts / modifies them into useful forms and ships them to other parts of the cell

Multiple Choice

Which Organelle Stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, & carbohydrates.

• Ribosomes

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Lysosomes

• Vacuoles

Multiple Choice

Which organelle receives proteins and materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them?

• Lysosomes

• Ribosomes

• Golgi Apparatus

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

Multiple Choice

jello-like material, fills the space between cell organelles, is where many chemical reactions occur

• Cell membrane

• Chloroplasts

• Chromosome

• Cytoplasm
