Why are Cells Small
Why are Cells Small
The Volume of a cell determines the amount of metabolic activity it carries out
The Surface Area of the cell determines the amount of
substances that are carried into the cell and the amount of waste

stacks of membranes forming flattened
sacs
process, package, store cell products to be
secreted (transported out of the cell)
Ribosomes ►RER ►SER ►Golgi ► Vacuole ► cell membrane ►release from cell

Exocytosis
Exocytosis – release of a substance outside – release of a substance outside of the cell membrane by the fusion of a

10. Vacuoles
10. Vacuoles
variety of functions:
1) food vacuoles
2) contractile vacuoles in freshwater protists pump out excess water (In action)
3) plant cells have a large central vacuole for water and nutrient storage
11. Mitochondria
11. Mitochondria
“powerhouse of the cell”
site of cellular aerobic respiration:
glucose + oxygen is converted to energy in the form of ATP
each cell contains between 300-800
mitochondria depending on activity level
has a double membrane

15. Cytoskeleton
15. Cytoskeleton
a network of fibers extending throughout the cytoplasm
is made up of microtubules and
microfilaments
functions:
Microfilaments are made up of a protein called actin.
The cytoskeleton can change the shape of a cell
– This allows cells like
amoebae to move
