Endoplasmic Reticulum(ER)- is an organelle. It is almost like a packaging system. The Endoplasmic Reticulum works with the Ribosomes and the Golgi Apparatus. The Endoplasmic Reticulum could be soft or rough depending on the function. (They both have the same type of membrane inside, but can be different shapes.) They both look and could feel how they sound. Steroids are a type of ringed organic molecule. Steroids are created and stored inside the ER. The ER has a flat area that is used for organization in chemical reactions or synthesis. To sum it up, the Endoplasmic Reticulum sends chemicals in the cell to make the cell function. It stores ions for the cell to use. __Structure__ Sheets of unit membrane with ribosomes on the outer area. It forms a tubular network throughout the cell. By: Maggie Sember

Ribosomes- make protien in the cell. They are protien builders. They are found either attached to the Endoplasmic Reticulum or floating around in the cytoplasm. If Ribosomes and the Endoplasmic Reticulum are attached they would look bumpy in a microscope. That could be called rough. Ribosomes could be like construction workers, they connect amino acid at a time and build long chains. . Ribosomes are non- membraneous.

Chloroplast- are the food producers in a cell. They are not found in animals cells but are found in plant cells. The Thylakoid and the Stromal Lamellae are the Chloroplasts that protect it so it doesn't get ruined. The Stromal is an area inside the chloroplast that sugars and starch occur. The whole purpose of the chloroplast is to create sugar and starch inside of the cell. They use a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS to get the job done. The photosynthesis is a process of a plant taking energy from the sun and creating sugars.

Mitochondria- Structure- made with double unit membrane. The inner membrane is folded to form cristae. The inside of it is called the matrix. Function- changes light energy into food. Mitochondrion are known as the powerhouses of the cell. Mitochondria are very small organelles. You might find cells with several thousand mitochondrion. If the cell feels it is not getting enough energy to survive, more mitochondria can be made. Sometimes they can grow, move, and combine with other mitochondria.

Golgi Apparatusl Structure- It has stacks of flattened sacks of unit membrane.Golgi apparatus has a structure that is made up of cisternael.

Function- The main function of the Golgi apparatus is to be in charge for handling the macromolecules that are required for proper cell functioning.

Cytoplasm- It is a jelly like material that is made of 80% water and usually is clear in color. Cytoplasm means cell substance. Cytoplasm is found in the cell membrane and fills most of the cell. Cytoplasm used to be called protoplasm. Cytoplasm is the home of the cytoskeleton, a network of cytoplasmic filaments. In cytoplasm you will find enzymes, fatty acids, sugars, and amino acids that are used to keep the cell working. By: Michael Mancuso

Cell Membrane- The cell membrane acts like a wall to contain the fluid in the cell. It also keeps all of the cell pieces inside. The cell membrane keeps good things in and the bad things out.

Structure-the cell membrane is mostly made up of fat & protein. The protein helps the cell move in and out.

Lysosome-are kinda like a vessel that holds a variety of enzymes. Lysosomes are single membrane organelles. The function of the Lysosome is to break down food and break down the cell when it dies. Lysosomes are found in the cytoplasm until they are needed.

When the cell membrane is very hungry, Lysosome goes to work when the cell has no food. They will eat the cell organelles for food and nutrients.

(Plant Cell) Cell wall- function -The cell wall helps from physical injury. It's a rigid layer surrounding the plasma membran of plant cells .It protects the cell and gives it a shape. structre-contains openings that let anything go throw it. It supports and protects the cell The structure that forms the tough outer covering just outside the cell membrane in plant cells. By;Johnny Bonker

Vacoules- have storage bubbles found in cells. They are found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant cells. Vacuoles might store food or any variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive.

Function- it is a bubble-like structure surrounded by membrances which store water, food and waste products.

Structure- takes up most of the space inside a plant cell. It is a membranous sac that crowds the cytoplasm and organelles to an edge of the cell.

- Nick Kolouszek

Nuculeus- The nuculeus contains the nuculear envelope,nucleolus,chromatin,and nucleoplasm. It contains all the information a cell needs to function. The information is translated by ribosomes. The nuculeus is a double membrane .It also has large holes through which materials pass back and forth. By:Johnny Bonker

Ya, Maggie here talking all about cells. They have a texture sort of like gel. Cells do more than you think. They make up your body, yep. WINK! They can be in plants or animals. They even can be on your moles...Eww! Different places and stuff to do. You can step on them with your shoe. Now about that Cell Wall. That's C-E-double L W-A-L-L ..Aw!! They guard the cell from injuries and they don't let in any fleas. It supports the cell with it's structure. Come on now, you have to be louder! Now to Ribosomes and what they do. They make the protein in the cell. Get the clue? They're on the ER and can be found in the Cytoplasm. Oh Ah. Or about the Chloroplast. They make sure there is a blast. They create sugar and some starch. You may see them in the March. They are food Producers but, are not found in roosters. Photosynthesis gets the job done. There's not just only one. Or about the Endo..huh..plasmic..huh...Re..tic..u..lum.. That's E-N-D-O--P-L-A-S-M-I-C R-E-T-I-C-U-L-U-M! The ER is the packaging system in the cell. They have tubes with no smell. It works with Ribosomes like a tube. The Golgi Apparatus is so near that they can barely move Whoo! It can be soft or rough but it's the function that's really tough. They help the Ribosomes travel through the cell even though it's on the outer shell. How about Mitocondria? It changes light energy into food. Now your really, really in the mood! The inside is called Matrix and it's name will never be fixed. It's important in the cell. It's oxygen with no smell. The (Cytoplasm is jelly like. They have a lot of place to hike. It is 80% water and is a real space hogger. Cytoplasm is the home of the Cyto- Skeleton. It doesn't really weigh a ton..nah!) Vacuoles are the important cells. They are larger in plant cells. ONE, ONE, ONE! Vacuoles store the food. Now your really, really in the mood. It's a hog when it comes up to space. They take it up in the plant cell. Lace, Lace, Lace! The Plant cell is really fun. Let's list these inside now. GO! Cell Wall, Mitocondria, Chloroplast, Ribosomes, Vesticle, Golgi Apparatus, Nucleus, Central Vacuole, Cell Membrane. That's all for now. Hope you learned how. WORD!

Cytoplasm was not included in the song so you can just skip it and go on to vacuoles.
