Transcription of The Cell City - Springfield Public Schools
1 the cell CityCell Structure: Plasma Membrane city Part: city Wall/Boundary Flexible, selectively permeable boundary that helps control what enters and leaves the cell Cell Structure: Cytoplasm city Part: Lakes, Streams & Rivers Semi-fluid material that organelles float in Cell Structure: Cytoskeleton city Part: Foundations Supporting network of long thin protein fibers that form a framework for the cell Provides an anchor for the organelles inside the cellCell Structure: Nucleus city Part: Mayor s Office/ city Hall Directs all cell processes Contains cell s DNA Center: Nucleolus (makes ribosomes)Cell Structure: Ribosome city Part: Factory Manufactures proteins Made of RNA & protein Cell Structure: Endoplasmic Reticulum city Part: Highway/Road System Responsible for production of proteins and lipids Transports materials Rough : contains ribosomes Smooth : no ribosomesCell Structure: Golgi Apparatus city Part: Post Office Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins into sacs called vesicles Cell Structure: Vacuole city Part: Storage Units Sac used to store food, enzymes, and other materials within the cytoplasm Cell Structure.
2 Lysosome city Part: Garbage Company Digests worn-out or extra organelles and food particles Cell Structure: Centrioles city Part: city Blocks Made of microtubules Aids in cell division Cell Structure: Mitochondria city Part: Power Plant Generates energy for the cell Converts fuel particles into usable energyCell Structure: Chloroplast city Part: Solar Power Plant Captures light energy and converts it into chemical energy through a process known as photosynthesis Plant cells only Cell Structure: Cilia & Flagella city Part: Taxi/Bus Service Aids in movement of the cell Cilia: short, hair-like projections Flagella: long, moves with a whiplike motio
