3. Cell Parts and Functions
Cell Membrane – Controls what goes in and out of the cell.
Nucleus – Controls the whole cell and is where the Genetic Material is stored.
Cytoplasm – The gel like substance where most of the cells activity happens.
Endoplasmic Reticulum – Pathway through the cell where proteins are made.
Ribosome – They are the the part that produces the cells proteins.
Golgi Apparatus - This is the where the proteins go before heading into the
cytoplasm.
Lysosome – This is the cell part that disposes unwanted things in the cell.
Vacuole – This is where the extra food is stored until it needs to be used in the cell.
Mitochondria – This where most of the cells energy is generated.
Genetic Material - This is the instructions for the cells activity.
Nucleolus – The most inner part of the Nucleus and it makes the Ribosomes.
Nuclear Pores – They allow substances in the cell to get into the Nucleus.
Nuclear Membrane – The outer wall or Membrane that protects and surrounds the
Nucleus .
4. Cell Membrane
• The Cell Membrane is the part of the cell which controls
what enters and leaves the cell. The Cell Membrane is
just like security for the protection of the players on the
team. Security protects the players from anyone who
wants to go to the locker room or on the playing surface.
5. Nucleus
• The Nucleus controls the whole cells and is where the
Genetic Material is kept. The Nucleus is like a coach in
sports. A coach tells the team what to do like the Genetic
Material and controls the dynamics of the team.
6. Cytoplasm
• The Cytoplasm is the area in which most of the activity in
the cell takes place. The cell is like a court ,rink or field.
Just how the cell parts do their work in the cell so do
players playing for a team. This there work space where
they do most of the playing and training.
7. Endoplasmic Reticulum
• The Endoplasmic Reticulum is the pathway through the
cell where the proteins are made and it take the proteins
to the Cytoplasm. It is just like when the teams come out
of the locker room they have to walk down a pathway to
the ice or court.
8. Ribosome
• The Ribosome is the part of the cell that produces
proteins. Ribosomes are like the players in the cell. They
help produce something whether its proteins or a win in a
game. They if not one of the most important aspects of a
team and in a cell.
9. Golgi Apparatus
• The Golgi Apparatus is the last place the Ribosomes go
before getting transported in the Cytoplasm. It is the place
that make sure it is the right protein. The Golgi Apparatus
is like the locker room. This is the last place the players
go before getting on the court or ice for the game.
10. lysosome
• This is the part of the cell that disposes anything
unwanted in the cell. It is like the clean up crew at an
arena. They are the ones to dispose of all garbage left
there and remove it.
11. Vacuole
• The Vacuole is the place where the extra food is stored for
the cells later use. This is like the concessions stands at a
game. The concession stand is where food is kept until a
customer is ready to consume the food.
12. Mitochondria
• The Mitochondria is like the fans at a game. The
Mitochondria is the one who generates the energy for the
cells. The fans are the one who make the atmosphere and
energy louder in the arena.
13. Genetic Material
• The Genetic Material is the instructions for the cell. It tells
the cell when to do it and how to do it. It is just like the
rules in a sports game. It explains how to play and helps
make sure that the game and cell are under control and
run smoothly.
14. Nuclear Pores
• Nuclear Pores are holes in the Nuclear membrane that
allow substances to enter and exit the area around the
Nucleus. The Nuclear Membrane is like a basketball
hoop. The hole on top allows it to enter and the hole on
the bottom allows it to leave.
15. Nuclear Membrane
• The Nuclear Membrane is the most outer wall or
membrane around the Nucleus. It’s job is to protect the
Nucleus and the Genetic Material. The Nuclear
Membrane is like boards on the sides of a hockey rink.
The job of the hockey boards it to protect the fans.
16. Nucleolus
• The Nucleolus is the inner most part of the Nucleus. The
Nucleolus makes the ribosomes. Just like in sports the
General Managers make the team so does the Nucleolus
make his team of Ribosomes for the cell.
