Transcript The Case Of The Damaged Cell

The Case Of The
Damaged Cell
The Story Of A Cell That Needs Fixing
Two Problems To Solve
1. The cell has a small worn out section
in the membrane.
 2. It also has very worn out
mitochondria.

Nutrients Necessary For Operation:
Save Cell
AMINO ACIDS from the breakdown of
proteins
 FATTY ACIDS from the breakdown of fats
 GLUCOSE from the breakdown of
carbohydrates

AMINO ACID
GLUCOSE
FATTY ACID
Operation: Save Cell
Phase: 1

The glucose would go to the mitochondria to
produce the high-energy molecule ATP. ATP
will provide enough energy for the actions
needed for the repair of the cell.
GLUCOSE SAVES THE DAY!
Operation: Save Cell
Phase: 2

The badly damaged mitochondria cannot be repaired.
Therefore, LYSOSOMES need to be called in. The
lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes that
destroy worn out or damaged organelles. The damaged
mitochondria is enclosed in a vesicle. The lysosmes bump
into these vesicles and pour enzymes into them. Useful
amino acids and fatty acids are returned to the cytoplasm
and waste particles are removed from the cell. Lysosomes
also digest food particles, and foreign invaders. The cell
can make new organelles, like mitochondria.
Operation: Save Cell
Phase: 3

Now, we repair the hole in the cell membrane. The membrane is
made of lipids with protein channels.
The NUCLEUS is a large organelle that is responsible for controlling
all the activities of the cell. It contains DNA, a very big molecule
that cannot got out of the nucleus. The DNA holds all the
‘blueprints’ for all the activities. DNA can’t give away the
blueprints so it makes a copy of a blueprint to leave the nucleus.
The nucleolus is the organelle that begins the formation of the
ribosome. Ribosome are the smallest organelles. They are not
membrane bound. Ribosome are either floating free or attached to
the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. Ribosome make proteins. The
ribosome that float make fat. The cell membrane needs proteins and
fats to repair its broken part. The blueprint is carried out of the
nucleus. The ribosome on the ER make the protein, fats, and other
materials. The message moves by the ER. The cell is now ready to
continue the normal functions of the cell.
OPERATION: SAVE CELL
STATUS: COMPLETE

END
WE SAVED THE CELL!
