Mitochondria

Cell Membrane

Sydney Johnson Cell Project

The Mitochondria also refverred to as the "powerhouse" of the cell has a very important role. The Mitochondria synthesizes/creates the energy using a process known as ATP. Electrons are transferred around the cell starting at the Mitochondria. At the end of this process the plant can get the glucose it needs to survive.

Exploring a Eucaryotic (Plant) Cell

The cell membarne is located inside the cell wall and is composed of fats as well as proteins. The cell membrane's job is to monitor which materials are aloud inside the cell and which ones cannot enter. This keeps harmful chemicals from traveling inside the cell. This is important because toxic materials will be unable to build up inside the cell.

Chloroplast

Cell Wall

Nucleus

The chloroplast has a distict green pigment causing plants to be the color green. The chloroplast is the site where Photosythesis occurs. Photosythesis is the unique process that plants do to produce their own nutrients, specifically glucose.

Cytoskeleton

The cell wall is the hard protective layer surrounding the cell on the edge. The main purpose of the Cell Wall is to reinforce the structure of the cell, while also keeping track of materials coming in and out of the cell. It is made up of cellulose working with Enzymes.

The Cytoskeleton is inside the cell and it keeps the structure stable. It is in internal skelleton which also protects the cell from breaking its shape.

The Nucleus in a plant cell is a storage site for DNA. Not only does the nucleus store DNA, it also monitors it putting DNA into their spirals. These sprials are called Chromatin. There are proteins that work with the DNA called Histones which re also found in the Nucleus.

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Golgi Apparatus

Ribosomes

The Golgi Appartus is responcible for distinguishing lipids and proteins. After it sorts the lipids and proteins it transfers them to other working organelles. After they are transferred they can be sythesized and put to use.

The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) has an important job. The main function is to monitor levels of minerals in the cell, like calcium for example. The ER also monitors the lipids and proteins being transported.

Ribosomes focus more on proteins and transforming them into other complex substances. They filter through and seperate mRNA molecules into two groupings. One small catagory and one large catagory. When these are seperated they can then message the genetic coding elsewhere.

Plastids

Vacuole

Work Cited

The Vacuole is an importamt organelle taking up roughly 30% of the space inside the cell. The Vacuole includes a membrane called the Vacuole Membrane that surrounds the Vacuole. The Vacuole is important because it is the main source of storage in the cell. It primarly stores salts, enzymes, and water.

Plastids are found within the cytoplasm. There are two types of plastids found inside a plant cell. There are Leucoplasts, and Chloroplasts. The Leucoplasts contain primary nutrients required to sustain the cell. (Such as lipids and starches) The Chloroplasts sythesize Carbon Dioxide and water into Glucose. The Chloroplasts contain Chlorophyll which is nessasary for Photosythesis to take place.
