Cellcity

Before you can begin to think about the structure you would like to build you have to know about cells and the tiny structures inside them. ½ point each. I. [] [] []

 * Organelle (Name) || Location (Animal/Plant) || Function (What does it do) || Illustration (Draw a picture of what it looks like) ||
 * Nucleus || Animal, and plant || The nucleus is the control center of the cell. It is the largest organelle in the cell and it contains the DNA of the cell. The DNA of all cells is made up of chromosomes || [[image:http://askabiologist.asu.edu/research/buildingblocks/images/nucleus2.gif width="150" height="131"]] ||
 * **Plasma membrane** || animal ,and plant || The membrane enclosing a cell is made up of two lipid layers called a "bilipid" membrane. The lipids that are present in the plasma membrane are called "phospholipids." || [[image:http://askabiologist.asu.edu/research/buildingblocks/images/membrane3.gif width="101" height="197"]] ||
 * **Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)** || animla, and plant || It is a network of membranes throughout the cytoplasm of the cell. There are two types of ER. || [[image:http://askabiologist.asu.edu/research/buildingblocks/images/ER.gif width="135" height="162"]] ||
 * **Ribosomes** || animal, and plant || Organelles that help in the synthesis of proteins. Ribosomes are made up of two parts, called subunits. || [[image:http://askabiologist.asu.edu/research/buildingblocks/images/ribosomes_alone2.gif width="137" height="91" align="right" caption="large & small subunits along with a ribosome"]] ||
 * **Mitochondria** || animal, and plant || This is the cell’s powerhouse. This organelle packages the energy of the food into ATP molecules. || [[image:http://askabiologist.asu.edu/research/buildingblocks/images/mitochondria.gif width="80" height="130"]] ||
 * Organelle (Name) || Location (Animal/Plant) || Function (What does it do) || Illustration (Draw a picture of what it looks like) ||
 * **Chloroplast** || animal, and plant || The cell organelle in which photosynthesis takes place. In this organelle the light energy of the sun is converted into chemical energy. || [[image:http://askabiologist.asu.edu/research/buildingblocks/images/chloroplast.gif width="150" height="96"]] ||
 * **Vacuole** || animal, and plant || the vacuole contains large amounts of water and stores other important materials such as sugars, ions and pigments. || [[image:http://askabiologist.asu.edu/research/buildingblocks/images/vacuole.gif width="114" height="95" caption="vacule image with water and other materials inside"]] ||
 * **Cytoplasm** || animal, and plant || A term for all the contents of a cell other than the nucleus. Even though the cartoon drawings do not look like it, the cytoplasm contains mostly water. || [[image:http://askabiologist.asu.edu/research/buildingblocks/images/cytoplasm.gif width="150" height="150" caption="cytoplasm of a cell"]] ||
 * **Cell wall** || plants || In addition to cell membranes, plants have cell walls. Cell walls provide protection and support for plants. || [[image:http://askabiologist.asu.edu/research/buildingblocks/images/cellwall_plasdesmota.gif width="97" height="139"]] ||
 * **Chromosomes** || plant and animal || Long thread-like molecules made of the chemical called DNA and other proteins. || [[image:http://askabiologist.asu.edu/research/buildingblocks/images/dna.gif width="75" height="96" align="right"]] ||
