Games/Websites/Pictures

Hi in this entry i will showing you some websites, games, and picture that you can learn about the three cell organelles i talked about before. You are free to tell me of any websites that you think would be good for me to put on one of my entries. It can be of any kind of cell organelle.

Ok first i will be showing you some pics of the Mitochondria, Golgi body, and Vacuole.

Mitochondria:


Vacuole

Golgi Body:



Now i will be showing you some game websites.



Now i will give you some websites. If you know of any other webpage please comment.

Golgi body

Hello and today my entry will be about the Golgi body. The I call the golgi body the bubble gum of the cell because it looks like a bubble gum. Well the golgi body are found mostly on eukaryotic cells. The golgi body is composed of membrane bound stacks known as cisternae. The golgi bodyies basic function is to help or to modify cargo proteins that travel through them. You can also say that when proteins get to the golgi body they are packaged and sent to a required location.

The golgi body packages and sends protiens to lots of places in the cell like the cell membrane and the secretory vesicles, and it also provides the cell with proteins to stay healthy. The trans face of the golgi network is the face from which the vesicles leave the golgi. The golgi plays an important role in the synthesis of proteoglycans, which are molecules present in the extracellular matrix of animals.

Its also a major site of carbohydrate synthesis. Another important role of the golgi involves the sulfation of certain molecules passing through its lumen. Well know you know something about the golgi body i hope you leave comments and ideas for entries thank you.

Vacuole

Hello and on this entry i will be talking about the organelle called Vacuole. The vacuole is basically like the maid of the cell. It keeps all the bad material from affecting the cell and it also cleans the cell. The vacuole originated from the fusion between multiple membrane vesicles. The vacuole is just a bigger form of multiple vesicles. This organelles has no basic shape or size, its structure varies from the needs of the cell. So there could be a cell that needs the vacuole alot there for the vacuole must be big but when the cell doesn't need it a lot it will then be small.

The vacuole also plays a major role in autophagy which is maintaining the balance between biogenesis and degradation, of many substances and cell structure in a certain organism. like i mentioned before the aid i the destruction of invading bacteria. The large vacuoles are found in three genera of filamentous, the Thioploca, Beggiatoa, and Theomargarita. THe vacuole sometimes can occupy between 40-98% of the cell.

In the animal cell the vacuole perform mostly subordinate roles. Like assisting in larger processes of exocytosis and endocytosis. Exocytosis is the extrusion process of proteins and lipids from the cell. And endocytosis is the opposite of the exocytosis and can occur in a variaty of forms. Well thank you fro reading my entry.

Mitochondria

Hello and this will be my first entry about one of the cell organelles. This organelle is called the Mitochondria. I call this cell the Mity Mitochondria. Ok so the mitochondria is one of the main organelles in the cell structure. In this entry you will learn what the mitochondria is.

The Mitochondria is basically the organelle that provides energy for the cell. It once you eat the mitochondria takes the energy. You could also say that its like the power plant of the cell.what is really cool about the mitochondria is that on some cell there just might be one but on other cells there might be a thousand mitochondria's.

The mitochondria is usually found in all eukaryotes. They can vary in size or position in the cell depending on the cell. The mitochondria contains an outer and inner membrane. The two membranses though have different properties.  Because of the double membrane there are five compartments within the mitochondria. Thank you for reading.

Intro to my project

Hello I am Alan Arcos and i am doing a science school project about the cell organelles. My school is called Colegio Menor San Francisco de Quito. i was born in Quito, Ecuador which is in South America.This project was assigned to me by our teacher Kelly Shoemaker who is our science teach. We are doing this project not just of cell organelles but also to learn how to make a blog and how to use it for the first time

I also work for Disney channel which wants me to do a graph about which cell organelle is the one that wokrs the most in the cell . with this game i hope to teach you people about the cell organeñelles. Some of the organelles you will be reading about are the mitochondria, the vacuole, and few other ones.

Well i hope that you will like my entries from now one and that you will be putting comments thank you very much. If there are any subject that you would like em to discuss that is revelent to the cell please put a commnet thank you.
