Tour of the Cell 3
AP Biology
2007-2008
Cells gotta work to live!
 What jobs do cells have to do?

make proteins
 proteins control every
cell function

make energy
 for daily life
 for growth

make more cells
 growth
 repair
 renewal
AP Biology
Making New Cells
AP Biology

Cytoskeleton
 Function

structural support
 maintains shape of cell
 provides anchorage for organelles
 protein fibers


microfilaments, intermediate filaments, microtubules
motility
 cell locomotion
 cilia, flagella, etc.

regulation
 organizes structures
& activities of cell
