CENTROSOME |
The main purpose of a centrosome is to organize microtubules and provide structure for the cell, as well as work to pull chromatids apart during cell division. |
|
CELIA & FLAGELLA |
Cilia and flagella move liquid past the surface of the cell. |
|
VESICLES |
Vesicles are cellular organelles that are composed of a lipid bilayer. You can think of vesicles as cellular envelopes that are used to transport materials from one place to another. Vesicles also function in metabolism and enzyme storage as well. |
|
NUCLEAR ENVELOPE |
nuclear envelope is the membrane that encloses the nucleus. |
|
NUCLEOLUS |
Its main function is to rewrite ribosomal RNA |
|
CHROMATIN |
function of chromatin is to efficiently package DNA into a small volume to fit into the nucleus of a cell and protect the DNA structure and sequence. |
|
MICROTUBULES |
move vesicles, granules, organelles like mitochondria, and chromosomes via special attachment proteins. |
|
MICROFILAMENTS |
Provide support for cell |
|
Peroxisomes |
breakdown of very long chain fatty acids through beta-oxidation. |
|
LYSOSOMES |
Organelle that contains digestive enzymes |
|
MITOCHONDRIA |
The powerhouse |
|
GOLGI APPARATUS |
Organelle that prepares cellular products for secretion. |
|
RIBOSOME |
Organelle composed of RNA & protein that is a structural support for protein synthesis. |
|
endoplasmic reticulum |
organelle composed of a system of connected membranous tubules and vesicles along which protein is synthesized |
|
smooth E.R |
make cellular products like hormones and lipids |
|
Rough E R |
responsible for the assembly of many proteins |
