CELLS AND

TISSUES
Science Presentation
What is a Cell?
A cell is the basic unit of life.
CELL MEMBRANE

The cell membrane is a thin but tough wall


surrounding the cell. It allows useful
substances to enter the cell. But it blocks
the entry of harmful substances. The
membrane also forces out waste products.
CYTOPLASM

The cytoplasm is composed mainly of water,


with some solids. Most of the cell’s constant
work of keeping alive is performed in the
cytoplasm.
NUCLEUS

The nucleus is one of the organelles in the


cell. It is located near the center of the
cell. It acts as the control center of the
cell.
ENDOPLASMIC
RETICULUM

functions as a manufacturing and


packaging system.
GOLGI BODY

When the cell signals that certain


proteins are needed, the latter are
“packaged” by the Golgi for export.
VACUOLES

Vacuoles are storage Bubbles that


usually carry food molecules or
wastes in solution.
CELL WALL

a rigid structure that surrounds


the cell membrane.
MYTHOCONDRIA

Often called the powerhouses of the cell,


the sausage-shaped mitochondria produce
the energy needed by the cell to function.
CHLOROPLASTS

Often called the powerhouses for plant


cells.
(Photosintesis)
CENTRIOLE

The centrioles are found in pairs


and move towards the poles
(opposite ends) of the nucleus when
it is time for cell division.
