Golgi Apparatus The Golgi apparatus is a network of connected flattened tubes or sacs stacked on top of one another. Function of the Golgi Apparatus • To sort and package proteins from the ER. • These protein vesicles are either secreted or used internally. • Color the Golgi apparatus now! Function of Vacuoles • In the restaurant kitchen, the vegetables and meats are stored in bins and containers. Cells have spaces called vacuoles for temporary storage of materials. Vacuoles often store food, waste and enzymes needed by the cell. Vacuoles • Color the vacuole now! Function of Lysosomes • Lysosomes are enzymes that digest excess or worn out cell parts. They can dispense their contents into vacuoles to digest whatever is being stored. Lysosomes Lysosomes are vesicles filled with enzymes that have pinched off the Golgi apparatus. • Color the lysosomes now! “THE POWER HOUSE” The mitochondria is similar to the restaurant’s electricity source. All functions—the stove, lights, music, refrigerator—depend on energy from the electrical outlets located in the restaurant. The mitochondria provides the same source for the cell. ENERGY TRANSFORMERS!! Functions of the Mitochondria • Site of ATP (Adenosine Tri Phosphate) production from respiration. • This is where food molecules are broken down to release energy! • Color the mitochondria now!
