Cell Organelles

This document provides information about cell organelles. It discusses the nucleus, which contains DNA; the cytoplasm, which holds organelles in place; the cell membrane, which provides support and protection; the endoplasmic reticulum, which acts as a highway; the mitochondria, which are the powerhouse of the cell; the Golgi apparatus, which packages and stores energy; and lysosomes, which clean up cell waste. It includes diagrams of organelles and metaphors comparing organelles to parts of a school. Students are assigned to create their own cell model or metaphor.

Cell Organelles

Lesson 1
A Taste of What is to Follow... 

Ponder This!: How is a cell like a school?


Our Objectives
 Upon completing this lesson you will:
 Know the names of the basic parts, or organelles, of a cell
 Know the functions of all the basic organelles
 Draw or write out your own model or metaphor to
demonstrate the parts of a cell
Think Back to Last Class
 A cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all living
things
 Eukaryotic & Prokaryotic
 Animal & Plant

 How cells fit into the rest of the body’s organization

Cell Tissue Organ


Organ System Organism
Cell Membrane
 Provides support and protection
 Functions as cell and
 Think of our school’s doors and intercom system
Cytoplasm
 Jelly-like material that fills the cell
 Contains water and food for cell
 Holds organelles in place
 Think of the air that fills up this entire school
Nucleus
 Contains DNA, which makes you who you are
 Directs the activity of the cell – for example, when it

gro ws and d i v i d e s
 Think of the principal’s office as the nucleus and the
student files in the office as DNA
Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R.)
 The “highway” of the cell that moves materials around to
other parts
 Some parts of the E.R. contain ribosomes, which create
proteins
 Think of the school hallways where students and teachers
transport ideas to other parts of the school

If you drive too


fast, you’ll end
up in the E.R.!
Golgi Apparatus
 Packages, stores, and secretes energy for the
cell
 Think of the lunch faculty who bring cafeteria
food into the school, then pack and store it in
the kitchen for later use
Mitochondria
 Break down food and release energy to cell – the
“Powerhouse” of the cell
 Think of lunch time at school – food is taken out
of packages, cooked, and then provided to
students and teachers to power them for the rest of
the day
Lysosomes
 Clean up the cell waste products (Lysosomes
clean just like Lysol!)
 Think of the janitors who clean up any waste
in the school at the end of the day
Any questions?
Question One: Did we look at a
plant or animal cell today?

A) Plant
B) Animal
Question Two: What is an
organelle?
A) The part of the cell that stores, packages,
and secretes energy
B) A part of a cell that performs a specific
function
C) A small organ inside the body, like one of
your kidneys
Question Three: Which organelle is
the highway of the cell?

A) Mitochondria

B) Nucleus

C) Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R.)


Question Four: What is the cell
membrane’s function?
A) Allows materials to enter/exit cell

B) Contains the DNA

C) Cleans up cell waste


Question Five: Which organelle is
the “powerhouse”?
A) Lysosomes

B) Mitochondria

C) Golgi Apparatus
Question Six: The nucleus contains
_____, which makes you who you are
genetically

A) Ribosomes

B) Lysosomes

C) DNA
Question Seven: What is the function
of the Golgi Apparatus?
A) Packages, stores, and secretes energy

B) Controls basic cell processes


C) Controls what enters/exits cell
Question Eight: What do lysosomes
do?
A) Deliver materials to other parts of the cell

B) Clean up cell waste


C) Store food and water
Question Nine: Think hard – which
organelle has not been an answer so far?
(Hint: it holds the other organelles in
place!)

A) Golgi Apparatus

B) Cytoplasm

C) Mitochondria
Question Ten: The drawing of the
cell organelles used in this lesson is
an example of a :

A) Model

B) Reflective Picture

C) Timeline
Homework
 Visit one or both of these interactive cell
models online:

 http://www.cellsalive.com/cells/cell_model.htm
 Come up with your own cell model or
metaphor (either draw/create a picture of a
cell or come up with a metaphor that includes
the organelles we have studied today)
