The document describes the roles and functions of various organelles that are running for the position of mayor of Cellville in the fall 2013 election. The nucleus protects the cell's DNA. The endoplasmic reticulum helps fold and assemble proteins and produces lipids. The ribosome bonds amino acids to form proteins. The Golgi body sorts, packages, and ships molecules out of the cell. The mitochondrion converts sugar and oxygen to water, carbon dioxide, and ATP during cellular respiration. The cell membrane regulates materials entering and exiting the cell. The lysosome digests useless cell parts and toxins. The peroxisome breaks down hydrogen peroxide in animal cells. The chloroplast performs photosynthesis in plant cells. The cell wall

1. Your organelle is
running for the
fall 2013 MaYoral
Position!!
--Nucleus-As the nucleus you protect the cell’s most
valuable genetic instructions, DNA.

2. Your organelle is
running for the
fall 2013 MaYoral
Position!!
--Endoplasmic
Reticulum-As the endoplasmic reticulum you help to fold,
assemble and package proteins by working with
ribosomes, and also with lipid production.

3. Your organelle is
running for the
fall 2013 MaYoral
Position!!
--Ribosome-As the ribosome you bond the amino acids
together to form all of the cell’s necessary
proteins.

4. Your organelle is
running for the
fall 2013 MaYoral
Position!!
--Golgi Body-As the golgi body you sort, package and ship all
molecules made in the cell out. You are sort of
like the UPS of the cell .

5. Your organelle is
running for the
fall 2013 MaYoral
Position!!
--Mitochondrion-As the mitochondrion you complete cellular
respiration. During this process you convert

6. sugar and oxygen into water, carbon dioxide
and ATP.
Your organelle is
running for the
fall 2013 MaYoral
Position!!
--Cell Membrane-As the cell membrane you regulate all materials
as they enter and exit the cell.

7. Your organelle is
running for the
fall 2013 MaYoral
Position!!
--Lysosome-As the lysosome you engulf and digest any
useless cell parts and toxins.

8. Your organelle is
running for the
fall 2013 MaYoral
Position!!
--Peroxisome-As the peroxisome you break down harmful
hydrogen peroxide within animal cells.

9. Your organelle is
running for the
fall 2013 MaYoral
Position!!
--Chloroplast-As the chloroplast you do photosynthesis for
plant cells. During photosynthesis you convert

10. sunlight, carbon dioxide and water, into sugar
and oxygen gas!
Your organelle is
running for the
fall 2013 MaYoral
Position!!
--Cell Wall--

11. As the cell wall you are made of extremely tough
cellulose, necessary to give plant cells extra
strength—protection—and structure.
Your organelle is
running for the
fall 2013 MaYoral
Position!!

12. --Enlarged
Vacuole-As the enlarged vacuole you store extra water so
that plant cells can do photosynthesis, but also
to provide additional structure from within the
plant cell.

13. You have been assigned to:
- Create a piece of propaganda to promote your organelle.
- Make the community aware of how important your organelle is
and all that it does for its citizens.
You must:
-
Create a colorful and organized campaign poster.
Make sure to note that this is for Mayor of Cellville (Fall 2013).
Make sure the organelle’s name is large, clear, and easy to read.
Draw a picture of your organelle so the citizens will recognize them.
List out their function/s (this should also be as large as possible, clear, and easy to read).
Present to the class:
o Poster
o Organelle Name
o Organelle Function
o Organelle Picture
Due Dates:
- Poster must be completed by the start of class
Wednesday 10-16-2013.
- Presentation will be completed in class Wednesday 10-16-2013.
Get to work
&
wIN thIs race!!
