Parts of a Cell

Most of a cell is made of...

• Lipids

• Carbohydrates

• Water

• Macromolecules

The cell membrane has two jobs

• Protect the inside of the cell from the outside and eat other cells

• Protect the inside of the cell from the outside and transport substances through the cell membrane

• Transport substances through the cell membrane and keep away from other cells

• Eat other cells and keep away from other cells

The cell wall...

• provides structure and protects the cell

• is found in animal cells

• is not found in plant cells

• Makes the cell floppy and protects the cell

Cytoplasm functions like the...

• pool floaties in water and the organelles are the water.

• structure of the pool and the organelles are the water inside it.

• Deck of the pool and the organelles are the structure of the pool.

• water of a pool and the organelles float in it.

The nucleus...

• contains DNA and acts like the "brain" of the cell.

• Contains Cytoplasm and acts like the "brain" of the cell.

• Contains DNA and acts like the "heart" of the cell.

• Contains Cytoplasm and acts like the "heart" of the cell.

What does the mitochondria do?

• Breaks down food and makes sugar.

• Breaks down food and makes energy (ATP).

• Captures light energy and makes sugar and energy (ATP).

• Captures light energy and makes waste products.

What does the chloroplast do?

• Breaks down food and makes sugar.

• Breaks down food and makes energy (ATP).

• Captures light energy and makes sugar and energy (ATP).

• Captures light energy and makes waste products.

What do the ribosomes do?

• Make ATP

• Make cytoplasm

• Make proteins

• Make water

The vesicles are like the...

• Road of a cell because they transport materials.

• Fire truck of the cell because they respond to stimuli.

• City Hall of the cell because they direct the organization of a cell.

• Power plant of a cell because they make energy.

Vacuoles could be considered the...

• Garbage truck of the cell because they remove waste.

• Copy machine of a cell because they make new parts of a cell.

• Cement truck of a cell since they repair parts of a cell.

• Warehouse of a cell since they store materials.
