function of peroxisomes
detoxification: detoxify harmful substances, converts hydrogen peroxide to water
Mitochondria
organelles with a double membrane, that Produce large amounts of ATP,  The powerhouse" of the cell."
Non-Membranous Organelles
Some organelles are in direct contact with the cytosol They are ribosomes, cytoskeleton, centrosomes, centrioles, cilia, flagella, microvilli, and inclusions
Ribosomes
very small, dense granules that are responsible for protein production (synthesis).
Each ________ has a small and a large subunit
ribosome
The Cytoskeleton
Filamentous proteins, which helps give the cell its shape and coordinates cellular movements.
The Cytoskeleton is comprised of 3 parts
microfilamentsintermediate filamentsmicrotubules
functions of the cyto skeleton
1. structural support of the cell2. cytosol streaming3. Cell motility4. movement of organelles and material through the cell5. movement of chromosomes during cell division.
the function of centrosomes and centrioles
1. microtubule organizing center in nondividing cells2. spindle formation center in dividing cells
Appendages extending from the surface of some cells.
Cilia and Flagella
Cilia
usually occur in large numbers; they work together to move materials or fluids along the surface of a cell
Flagella
longer than cilia, and usually occur as single appendages.
The Nucleus
the central core, or the control center, of cellular activities
The Nucleaus controls
protein synthesis and directs the functional and structural characteristics of the cell
largest structure within the cell and appears as a single spherical or oval structure
The Nucleus
Functions of the Nucleus
1. contains genetic material, which directs all cellular activity and regulates cellular structure.2.  Assembly of ribosomal subunits within nucleolus
double membrane structure that encloses the nucleus 
the nuclear envelope
Then nuclear envelope controls...
the entry and exit of materials between the nucleus and the cytoplasm
the nucleolus
one or more spherical, darkstaining bodies inside the nucleus. Responsible for making the small and large subunits of ribosomes.
DNA
the genetic material housed within the nucleus of the cell
a polymer of nucleotides (sugar, phosphate, nitrogen base) in the shape of a double helix
DNA
chromatin is formed by
Strands of DNA and histone proteins
the most organized level of genetic material
The chromosome
chromosome contains
a single, long molecule of DNA and associated proteins
when are chromosomes visible
when the cell is dividing
The life cycle of the cell is called the
cell cycle.
name the phases of the cell cycle
cytokinesis, G1 phase, S phase, G2 Phase, Mitosis
name the two tyoes of cell division
