What is a cell

• A cell is a block of life• Functional unit of all living organisms

ER

• ER surrounds the nucleus• ER Makes half of the membrane• Ribosomes with RNA attach with the ER and

produce proteins

Cytoskeletons

• Cytoskeletons functions springy skeletons • Gives the cells shape• Functions roads of transport cargo by motor

proteins

Nucleus

• Protects the DNA’s Blueprint from interference • Proteins work together to copy of DNA into

RNA in a process called transcription

Mitochondria

• Generates the cells energy using sugar, oxygen and protein

• They have their own set of proteins enabling them to participate in activities

Plants and Animals

• Animals do not have chloroplasts. Plants do• Animals have one or more vacuoles• Plants have one central vacuoles which take

up 90% of the cell
