Cell parts and Functions

Cytoplasm

• A Jelly-like fluid contained in the cell that holds the organelles. 
• Digest food particles and cell parts.(Garbage men) Protects cell by digesting foreign invaders (Police men)
• Power center of the cell. Provides the energy the cell needs to move, divide, etc. Is where cellular respiration occurs. 
• Involved in making fibers close to the nucleus in animal cells.
• Transportation system of cells. Rough ER-ribosomes attached. Smooth ER-no ribosomes

Mitochondria

• Power center of the cell. Provides the energy the cell needs to move, divide, etc. Is where cellular respiration occurs. 
• Involved in making fibers close to the nucleus in animal cells.
• Transportation system of cells. Rough ER-ribosomes attached. Smooth ER-no ribosomes 
• Stores water, food & wastes. 
• Outer layer of the cell and controls what exits and enters inside of the cell. (Bodyguard of the cell)

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

• Transportation system of cells. Rough ER-ribosomes attached. Smooth ER-no ribosomes 
• Stores water, food & wastes. 
• Outer layer of the cell and controls what exits and enters inside of the cell. (Bodyguard of the cell)
• The control center of the cell. Contains the cell’s DNA
• Helps keep the form and shape of the cell.

Vacuole 

• Stores water, food & wastes. 
• Outer layer of the cell and controls what exits and enters inside of the cell. (Bodyguard of the cell)
• The control center of the cell. Contains the cell’s DNA
• Helps keep the form and shape of the cell.
• Site where proteins are made. Cell parts are made of proteins.

Cell Membrane

• Outer layer of the cell and controls what exits and enters inside of the cell. (Bodyguard of the cell)
• The control center of the cell. Contains the cell’s DNA
• Helps keep the form and shape of the cell.
• Site where proteins are made. Cell parts are made of proteins. 
• The membrane that protects the nucleus.

Nucleus

• The control center of the cell. Contains the cell’s DNA
• Helps keep the form and shape of the cell.
• Site where proteins are made. Cell parts are made of proteins. 
• The membrane that protects the nucleus. 
• Packaging house of the cell. Packages, processes, and ships out the stuff the cell makes.

• Packaging house of the cell. Packages, processes, and ships out the stuff the cell makes. 
• Has lots of fluid enclosed inside of it’s bubble. 
• Where ribosomes are built.
