Systems In Living Things

Animal Cells

Parts of a Cell• Organelles-• Organelles are the structures in every living

cell that perform the specialized functions for living.

• A typical animal cell. Within the cytoplasm, the major organelles and cellular structures include: (1) nucleolus (2) nucleus (3) ribosome (4) vesicle (5) rough endoplasmic reticulum (6) Golgi apparatus (7) cytoskeleton (8) smooth endoplasmic reticulum (9) mitochondria (10) vacuole (11) cytosol (12) lysosome (13) centriole

Cell Membrane• The Cell

membrane is the covering that holds the cell together and regulates materials that pass in and out.

Nucleus

• The nucleus of the cell contains its genetic information, DNA. It may be considered the “brain” of the cell.

Cytoplasm

• The cell is filled with fluid called Cytoplasm. It holds the Organelles and contains dissolved minerals the cell needs.

Endoplasmic Reticulum

• The Endoplasmic Reticulum is a complex network that plays a role in producing and transporting cell products.

Golgi Apparatus• The Golgi

Apparatus is a system of sacks that sort, package, and transport products inside the cell or discard them outside.

Lysosomes• Lysosomes are

where food particles are digested.

Mitochondria• Mitochondria are

little power plants where cellular respiration takes place to release energy stored in foods. The energy that keeps life going.
