THE CELL

PART I

THE NUCLEOLUS AND NUCLEUS.

THE NUCLEOLUS IS...

  • A small, typically round granular body composed of protein and RNA.
  • Found in the middle of the nucleus.
  • usually associated with and involved in ribosomal RNA synthesis.
  • A non-membrane bound structure
  • A thing that contains proteins and nucleic acids found within the nucleus.

THE NUCLEUS IS...

  • The positively charged central core of an atom or cell.
  • A core that consist of protons and neutrons and containing nearly all its mass.
  • The core or the central part around which other parts are grouped or gathered.
  • controller of cellular activities such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction by regulating gene expression.
  • controller of the movement of molecules between the nucleoplasm and the cytoplasm.

PART II





Smooth ER, Rough ER, Golgi Body

SMOOTH ER IS...

  • A part of the endoplasmic reticulum that is in a tubular type of form.
  • A organelle that lacks ribosomes.
  • A organelle whos functions include calcium concentration, drug detoxification, and attachment of receptors.
  • seen connected to the nuclear envelope.
  • A organelle that consists of tubules and vesicles that branch forming a network to increase surface area.

GOLGI BODY IS...

  • Also known as The Golgi apparatus, the Golgi complex,or simply the Golgi.
  • Named for its discoverer, nineteenth century Italian scientist Camillo Golgi.
  • like a stack of pancakes, the Golgi body is made of stacked, sacs.
  • the only organelle that attaches adreses to each macromolecule it receives.
  • Usually confused with rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

ROUGH ER IS...

  • an interlinked network of cisternae (membrane disks), vesicles and tubules inside a cell.
  • first observed by Ernest Fullam, Keith Porter and Albert Claude, in the year 1945.
  • held together by the cell's cytoskeleton. This cytoskeleton is the cell's skeleton.
  • Called rough because of ribosomes. Millions of ribosomes cover its surface and make it seem bumpy.
  • connected with the outer envelope of the cell nucleus.

PART III

MITCHOCHONDRION, RIBOSOMES, LYSOSOMES, CENTRIOLES

LYSOSOMES ARE...

  • Organelles containing a large range of digestive enzymes.
  • Used fordigestion and removal of worn-out organelles, food particles, and viruses or bacteria.
  • discovered by the Belgian cytologist Christian de Duve in 1949.
  • named from the Greek words lysis, which means dissolution, and soma, which means body.
  • Controllers of digestion of macromolecules from phagocytosis and endocytosis.

RIBOSOMES ARE...

  • cell organelles that consist of RNA and proteins.
  • responsible for assembling the proteins of the cell.
  • Tiny. Depending on the protein production level of a cell, ribosomes may be in millions.
  • typically composed of two subunits: a large and a small subunit.
  • Important. They make proteins that are exported from the cell or included in the cell's membranes.

CENTRIOLES ARE...

  • cylindrical structures that are composed of groupings of microtubules.
  • found in animal cells and help to organize the groups of microtubules during cell division.
  • arranged in a 9 + 3 pattern.
  • a ring of nine microtubule "triplets" that are arranged at right angles to one another.
  • supposed to organize the assembly of microtubules.

MITCHOCHONDRION ARE...

  • rod-shaped organelles that are considered the power generators of the cell.
  • Always converting oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
  • the reason animals breathe oxygen.
  • found in nearly all eukaryotes, including plants, animals, fungi, and protists.
  • large enough to be observed with a light microscope and were first discovered in the 1800s.

PART IV

NUCLEAR MEMBRANE, SMALL VACULE, CELL MEMBRANE.

A NUCLEAR MEMBRANE IS...

  • made up of two layers, each composed of a lipid bilayer.
  • Lined with holes, called nuclear pores, to facilitate/regulate the exchange of materials.
  • Also known as a nuclear envelope, or a nucleolemma karyotheca.
  • associated with a network of intermediate filaments called nuclear lamina.
  • a shield-like membrane for the nucleus.

VACUOLES ARE...

  • storage bubbles found in cells.
  • found in both animal and plant cells, but are much larger in plant cells.
  • fairly simple. There is a membrane that surrounds a mass of fluid.
  • closely related to objects called vesicles that are found throughout the cell.
  • storers of waste products so the rest of the cell is protected from sickness.

THE CELL MEMBRANE/WALL IS...

  • a thin semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosing its contents.
  • Protect the inside of the cell by allowing certain substances into the cell, while keeping other substances out.
  • a base of attachment for the cytoskeleton in some organisms and the cell wall in others.
  • the cell's chemical climate and assist in the transfer of molecules across the membrane.
  • a lipid bilayer in which their hydrophillic (attracted to water) head areas spontaneously arrange to the face.

PART V

REFLECTION AND BIBLOAGRAPHY

REFLECTION:
We feel that the turn out of our project was exceptional, considering the amount of time given to complete the project. The building of the cell was not difficult, but the biggest challenge we had was creating the PowerPoint. It was lots of work. We each put in high amounts of effort, and completed this project to the best of our ability. We are both happy to learn new things about cells and organelles!
