what are ribosomes?
|
hold RNA and proteins and are responsible for protein synthesis
|
|
|
what is the golgi apparatus?
|
synthesizes, packages, and delivers molecules through secretory vesicles

|
|
what is the mitochondria?
|
supplies the cell's energy source (ATP)
|
|
|
what are the lysosomes?
|
decompose molecules (like garbage disposal)
|
|
|

|
responsible for the division of animal cells
(only found in animal cells) |
|
|
what is the nucleus?
|
contains DNA and the nucleolus
|
|
|
what is the cell membrane?
|
contains lipids and proteins (lipid bilayer)
protects the cell through selective permeability |
|
|
what is the nucleolus?
|
contains ribosomes
|
|
|
what is the cytoplasm?
|
gel-like substance that holds all of the organelles

|
|
what are peroxisomes?
|
protects the cell form its own production of toxic hydrogen peroxide

|
|
what are the secretory vesicles?
|
contains molecules from the golgi and that are delivered to the cell membrane for release

|
|
what is the vacuole?
|
stores nutrients and waste products
|
|
|
what is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
|
responsible for synthesis of lipids, synthesis of hormones and breakdown of toxins in the liver
|
|
|
what is the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
|
proteins synthesized in ribosomes are collected in rough endoplasmic reticulum for transport
|
|
|
what is the cytoskeleton?
|
maintains cells shape and structure
