Today we are going over the parts of a cell... here they are!!

Cell Wall- Keeps the cells shape and acts as protective barrier.

Cell Membrane- Lets certain things in and certain things out. It is like a filter. Every cell has a cell membrane.

Mitochondria- provides the energy that the cell needs to move, divide, and contract. Power center of the cell. Dividing means reproducing. Bacteria cells don't have mitochondria.

Ribosomes- Creates proteins for the cell. Does protein synthesis. Has RNA.

Chloroplasts- Are in plant cells and makes it green and has color. Uses energy from the sun to make food for the cell. Converts Carbon Dioxide in water to sugar. This could also be called hydrosynthesis.

The rough endoplasmic reticulum- transports proteins from the cell.

Vacuole- stores nutrients, waste products, and adds water. Also releases all of these things.

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum- breaks down of toxins.

Golgi apparatus- packets macromolecules and transports them into the cell. Tags the macromolecules. (Tells it were to go).

Nucleus- It is the most obvious organelle. Is were the DNA is stored. Supplies the cell with unique charecteristics.

Cytoplasm- Makes up the cell. It keeps the organelles in the same place.

Lysosomes- Contains enzymes for digesttion and kills viruses, bacteria, and breaks stuff down.

Synthesis- Synthesis means to create.

Dehydration Synthesis- to create something by loosing water.

Mr. Finley put blue dye into a cup of water. It is turning the water blue. Going slowly. Spreading. Going were there is less dye. Doesnt want to be so packed together.
This is what happens in a cell membrane.
