Basic Animal Cell MODEL STEPS

FORM and FUNCTION of the ORGANELLES

Suggested Links To Get Started:

1. Start with Drawing States of Matter here.

2. Sing along with Matter music videos here.

Check out the matter videos by teacher and rappers from our school community.

4.Golgi Body

form: 

-5-8 cup-like compartments stacked into each other

function: 

-changes, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids made by the E.R.

5.Vacuoles

form: 

-bubble of bilipid membrane

function: 

-carries/transports lipids and proteins released from the golgi body

6.Mitochondrion

form: 

-oval shaped with two layers

-inner layer folded many times

function: 

-convert food to energy

-break down glucose into ATP

7.Lysosome

form: 

-bilipid membrane bubble containing strong acid

function: 

-like a chemical toilet, breaks down waste and cellular debris

                                                                         
1. NUCLEUS

form: 

-in the center, with a membrane that has holes

-filled with chromosomes of twisted DNA

function: 

-controls cell by making proteins

2. rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (rough E.R.)                                                    

 form: 

-curvy, bilipid membrane

-lots of surface area

-covered in ribosome dots

function: 

-creates proteins

3. Smooth E.R.        
form: 

-curvy, bilipid membrane

-lots of surface area

function: 

-creates lipids and fats
