CELL ORGANELLES AND

FUNCTION
April Joyce A. Acupan
SHS T – II
CELL

• Is the smallest unit that is capable of


performing life functions.
Typical Animal Cell
Plant Cell
NUCLEUS
• Houses the cell’s DNA
and directs the
synthesis of ribosome
subunits and proteins.

• The control center of


the cell
NUCLEAR ENVELOPE
• A double – membrane
structure that
constituents the
outermost portion of the
nucleus.

• Membrane enclosing the


nucleus; allows materials
protein-lined pores to
move in and out.
CHROMATIN

• Chromosomes – are
structures within the
nucleus that are made
up of DNA, the
hereditary material.
RIBOSOMES
• Are the cellular
organelles responsible
for protein synthesis
and are considered the
protein factories of the
cell.
MITOCHONDRIA
• “Powerhouse of the cell” because they are
responsible for making adenosine
triphosphate (ATP).
PEROXISOMES
• Are small, round organelles enclosed by single
membranes.

• They carry out oxidation reactions.

• They also detoxify many poisons that may


enter the body.
VESICLES AND VACUOLES
• Are membrane – bound
sacs that function in
storage and transport.

• Vacuoles – membrane-
bound sacs for storage,
digestion, and waste
removal
ENDOMEMBRANE SYSTEM
• Group of membranes in eukaryotic cells that
works together to modify, package, and
transport lipids and proteins.

• Includes nuclear envelope, lysosomes,


vesicles, endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi
Apparatus.
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
• Series of interconnected membranous sacs
and tubules that modifies proteins and
synthesizes lipids.

Two types
• Smooth: lacks ribosomes

• Rough type: ribosomes embedded in surface


SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC
RETICULUM
• No attached ribosomes
• Has enzymes that help build molecules
-Carbohydrates
-Lipids
ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC
RETICULUM
• Ribosomes attached to surface
- Manufacture proteins
- Not all ribosomes attached to rough ER
• May modify proteins from ribosomes
GOLGI
APPARATUS/BODIES
• Protein 'packaging
plant‘

• Move materials within


the cell

• Move materials out of


the cell
LYSOSOMES
• Use their hydrolytic
enzymes to destroy
pathogens that might
enter the cell.
• Contain digestive
enzymes
Functions
• Aid in cell renewal
• Break down old cell parts
• Digests invaders
CYTOSKELETON
• The network of protein filaments and
microtubules in the cytoplasm that controls
cell shape, maintains intracellular
organization, and is involved in cell
movement.

CENTROSOME
• Mictrobule–organizing
center found near the
nuclei of an animal
cells.

• Contains a pair of
centrioles.
CELL WALL
• Rigid covering that protects the cell, provides
structural support, and gives shape to the cell.
• Most commonly found in plant cells & bacteria
CHLOROPLASTS
• Are plant cell organelles that carry out
photosynthesis.
