|
Cell Wall
|
Protects, shapes, and and supports the cell. It also contains peptidogycan.
|
|
|
Cell Membrane
|
It regulates the movement of molecules in and out of the cell.
|
|
|
Cytoplasm
|
It allows movement through the cell (diffusion). Contains DNA, ribosomes, and organic compounds. It helps give the cell shape and structure. Made out of mostly water.
|
|
|
Nucleoid region
|
The area containing genetic information/DNA which contains essential information for life and reproduction.
|
|
|
Ribisome
|
It's the site for protien synthesis.
|
|
|
Plasmid
|
It's a single ring of DNA which replicates independently. It doesn't contain essential genetic information.
|
|
|
Capsule
|
It's a protective layer on the bacteria. It allows attachment in some cases.
|
|
|
Endospore
|
It's the resistant coating/wall which protects the cell against harsh conditions.
|
|
|
Pillus
|
It assists in attaching to surfaces(?) and aids genetic recombination during conjugation.
|
|
|
Flagellum
|
It's a tail-like organ that makes a whipping motion that causes movement.
|
|
|
Chromatin
|
Contains DNA and proteins found in the non-dividing cells (uncoiled chromosome)
|
|
|
Rough ER
|
Holds ribosomes that produce proteins and stores and transports protein within the cell
|
|
|
Smooth ER
|
Lacks ribosomes, produces sex hormones in the gonads (ovaries and testes) and detoxifies alcohol and drugs in the liver
|
|
|
Golgi bosy
|
Modifies, sorts, and packages molecules produced in the ER (protein and lipids). It is also involved in the transport of lipids around the creation of lysosomes.
|
|
|
Lysosome
|
Carries out digestion of food and worn out cells (w/ enzymes). Can also cause cell destruction ie. cell suicide
|
|
|
Mitochondria
|
Site of cellular respiration, produces the cells energy.
|
|
|
Vesicles
|
Small sacs for the transport and storage of molecules. Come off Golgi Body.
|
|
|
Vacuoles
|
Story enzymes, nutrients, water and wastes
|
|
|
Cytoskeleton
|
Make up the cell's skeleton for support and movement of organelles and substances within the cytoplasm
|
