Eukaryotic Cells

• Eukaryotic cells are cells that have a nucleus and organelles with a membrane. • Eukaryotic cells differentiate depending on what job they do.

• Organelle – Little organ

• Structure in the cell with a special function and or job.

• Cell and Plasma membrane

• Surrounds the cell wall to keep materials in and or out selectively permeable

• Protects the cell

• Allows cells to communicate with other cells

• Allows the cell to move

• A phosopholipid bilayer

• Cytoplasm and Cytosol

• Jelly- like material that fills the cell and surrounds organelles

• Many cells processes happens here (glycolysis)

• Many molecules are stored here (amino acids)

• Nucleus

• The control center of the cell

• Holds DNA and protects it

• Surrounded by a membrane called the nuclear membrane

• Has pores to let material move in and out

• Most obvious organelle in the cell

• Nucleous

• Found in the nucleus

• Make ribosomes

• Chromatin (Loose DNA)

• Instructions for making proteins/traits

• Ribosome

• Made by the nucleus

• Make proteins

• Found free floating or attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum

• Rough endoplasmic reticulum

• Extension of the nuclear membrane

• Covered with ribosomes

• Transport proteins to the golgi bodies.

• Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum

• Extends to the cell membrane

• No ribosomes

• Make and transport lipids used to make the cell membrane.

• Golgi Bodies

• Stacked organelle

• Packages and modifies proteins from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to leave the cell.

• Makes lysosomes, secretory vesicle and peroxisome

• Mitochondria

• Does cellular respiration to break down glucose into energy.

• Lysosome

• Made by the golgi bodies

• Contains enzymes

• Does intercellular digestion- stomach of the cell

• Cytoskeleton

• Protects the cell
