James Shared "Cells" - 9 Picmonics
With Picmonic, facts become pictures. We've taken what the science shows - image mnemonics work - but we've boosted the effectiveness by building and associating memorable characters, interesting audio stories, and built-in quizzing. Whether you're studying for your classes or getting ready for a big exam, we're here to help.

Cell Components
- Cell membrane separates inside and outside
- Nucleus stores DNA
- Rough ER has ribosomes making proteins
- Vesicles transport proteins to Golgi complex and out of the cell
- Golgi complex packages and transports molecules
- In animals, mitochondria produce ATP
- In plants chloroplasts create carbohydrates
- In Plants Mitochondria Consume Carbohydrates to Make ATP
- Smooth ER synthesizes lipids
- Lysosomes are used for recycling and apoptosis
- Vacuoles are used for storing waste and toxins
- Ribosomes produce protein

Cells and the Nucleus
- Cells are the smallest unit of life
- Cells are the building blocks of all life
- The nucleus is the "brain" of the cell
- The nucleus holds DNA
