PLANT CELL
SMART PHONE
All phones that use mobile,
cellular (cell) phones. All cell
phonessmartphones and
feature phoneshave the
same components as any
computer: a processor,
memory, and input and
output devices. Each cell is a
geographic area centered on
a base transceiver station.
NUCLEOLUS
nucleolus - an organelle within the nucleus - it is where ribosomal RNA is
produced.

Smartphones use a CPU and an interface so powerful that they can take
on many of the same tasks as much more expensive computers:
videoconferencing, recording and editing high-definition (HD) video, and
broadcasting live-streaming video.
CELL WALL
cell wall - a thick, rigid membrane that surrounds a plant cell. This layer
of cellulose fiber gives the cell most of its support and structure. The cell
wall also bonds with other cell walls to form the structure of the plant.
The primary input devices for a smartphone are its microphone and touch
pad. Some phones, such as the BlackBerry Porsche, offer both a touch
screen and a built-in keyboard.
NUCLEUS
nucleus - spherical body containing many organelles, including the
nucleolus. The nucleus controls many of the functions of the cell (by
controlling protein synthesis) and contains DNA (in chromosomes). The
nucleus is surrounded by the nuclear membrane
battery life is your most important requirement towards a smartphone.
battery capacity that are at the top of their endurance game, but
rather phones that are a good mix of sufficient battery capacity, well-
managed processor throttling, and - most of all - power-sipping
screens, which means you won't see only phones with high-res
displays in the top of the pops.
VACUOLE
vacuole - a large, membrane-bound space within a plant cell that is
filled with fluid. Most plant cells have a single vacuole that takes up
much of the cell. It helps maintain the shape of the cell.

Your phones memory stores all the phones information and programs.
The OS is stored in read-only memory (ROM), the phones permanent
memory, because the phone would be useless without that key piece
of software.
CHLOROPLAST
chloroplast - an elongated or disc-
shaped organelle containing
chlorophyll. Photosynthesis (in
which energy from sunlight is
converted into chemical energy -
food) takes place in the
chloroplasts.
CYTOPLASM
cytoplasm - the jellylike material outside the cell nucleus in which the
organelles are located.

Cell-phone output devices include a liquid crystal display (LCD). Higher-
end models include full-color, high-resolution LCD screen.
MITOCHONDRIA
mitochondrion - spherical to
rod-shaped organelles with
a double membrane. The
inner membrane is infolded
many times, forming a series
of projections (called
cristae). The mitochondrion
converts the energy stored
in glucose into ATP for the
cell.
Sound enters the microphone as a
sound wave. Because these sound
waves need to be digitized into a
sequence of 1s and 0s that the cell
phones processor can understand.
