Cell Organelle Project by Tiffany Pham https://padlet.com/phamt665/wc1434zwa33k2vgw By: Tiffany Pham Human A&P / Block 7 en-us 2020-10-07 16:54:55 UTC 2026-04-16 07:11:36 UTC hello@padlet.com Mitochondria phamt665 https://padlet.com/phamt665/wc1434zwa33k2vgw/wish/811125113 Function: Generates most of the chemical energy (ATP) used by the cell and body.
Analogy: Acts as the electric company of the cell. Producing energy for the rest of the body on a regular basis.]]> 2020-10-07 17:10:42 UTC https://padlet.com/phamt665/wc1434zwa33k2vgw/wish/811125113 Cell Membrane phamt665 https://padlet.com/phamt665/wc1434zwa33k2vgw/wish/811125512 Function: Protects the cell from outside virus and invaders. Serves as an outer layering.
Analogy: Acts as the security guard of the cell. Keeps invaders outside of the cell and protects what is within.]]> 2020-10-07 17:10:49 UTC https://padlet.com/phamt665/wc1434zwa33k2vgw/wish/811125512 Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum phamt665 https://padlet.com/phamt665/wc1434zwa33k2vgw/wish/811126375 Function: Produces proteins to help the cell function properly.  Without this organelle, repairs, chemical reactions, and many other vital operations couldn't be accomplished.
Analogy: Acts as the factory workers of the cell.  Producing proteins that will be used throughout the cell/body.  The "factory workers" work day and night.

Analogy: Acts as the headquarters of the cell. Contains information needed by the rest of the cell, and helps keep the cell in operation.]]> 2020-10-07 17:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/phamt665/wc1434zwa33k2vgw/wish/811129071 Ribosomes phamt665 https://padlet.com/phamt665/wc1434zwa33k2vgw/wish/811129394 Function: Plays a strong role in synthesizing proteins and creating peptide bonds. These proteins are sent throughout the cell after.
Analogy: Acts as the matchmaker of the cell. Created peptide bonds by matching correct peptides to one another. Without the "matchmaker", we would have trouble with repairs and protein creation.]]> 2020-10-07 17:11:44 UTC https://padlet.com/phamt665/wc1434zwa33k2vgw/wish/811129394 Vacuole phamt665 https://padlet.com/phamt665/wc1434zwa33k2vgw/wish/811130376 Function: Transports products within and throughout the cell.  It's important the vacuole perform its job for the safety of the cell and the transportation process.
Analogy: Acts as cars/vehicles of the cell.  Protecting the cell from invaders and any waste within.  ]]> 2020-10-07 17:11:58 UTC https://padlet.com/phamt665/wc1434zwa33k2vgw/wish/811130376 phamt665 https://padlet.com/phamt665/wc1434zwa33k2vgw/wish/811134459 2020-10-07 17:12:59 UTC https://padlet.com/phamt665/wc1434zwa33k2vgw/wish/811134459 One of the Top Sites of the Century.. or Since the Beginning of Time phamt665 https://padlet.com/phamt665/wc1434zwa33k2vgw/wish/811145812 2020-10-07 17:15:48 UTC https://padlet.com/phamt665/wc1434zwa33k2vgw/wish/811145812 Cytoplasm phamt665 https://padlet.com/phamt665/wc1434zwa33k2vgw/wish/811269712 Function: Protects cell organelles during collisions and/or sudden movement.  Glycolysis - the first step of cellular respiration - takes place here.
Analogy: Acts as a protective blanket for the cell and its organelles.  The "blanket" cushions any sudden blows that might occur to the cell.

Prepares proteins to be sent to various places inside or outside the cell.
Analogy: Acts as the packaging company of the cell. Seals products (proteins) into boxes and packaging (vacuoles). - preparing everything for shipping.

Analogy: Acts as the maid of the cell.  Cleaning up the cell's unneeded parts left-and-right.]]> 2020-10-09 02:26:11 UTC https://padlet.com/phamt665/wc1434zwa33k2vgw/wish/815851574 phamt665 https://padlet.com/phamt665/wc1434zwa33k2vgw/wish/815852872 2020-10-09 02:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/phamt665/wc1434zwa33k2vgw/wish/815852872 Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum phamt665 https://padlet.com/phamt665/wc1434zwa33k2vgw/wish/815853242 Function: Synthesizes lipids, steroids, hormones, and deals with the metabolism.  Has close relations with detoxification.
Analogy: Acts as the highways of the cell.  Transports different molecules around the cell.
