|
Cell membrane |
Made up of proteins, phosphoilipid bilayer and glycoproetins. Regulates the movement of substances into and out of the cell. Receptor molecules allow for it to respond to chemicals like hormones. Can be folded into microvilli to increase surface area for absorption. |
|
|
Nucleus |
Contains DNA in the form of chromatin providing the instruction of protein synthesis. Contains nucleoplasm. Contains nucleolus which coordinates the synthesis of ribosomes with rRNA and proteins. |
|
|
Mitochondria |
Double membrane bound organelle, inner membrane folded into the cristae that increases surface area. Contains the matrix that contains respiratory enzymes for use in aerobic respiration producing ATP. |
|
|
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum |
Large network of tubes for the transport and synthesis lipids. |
|
|
Golgi apparatus |
Flattened membrane sacs which sort, modify and package the proteins/lipids produced by the RER and SER |
|
|
Lysosome |
Membrane sacs/ vesicle produced by the Golgi containing lysozymes (hydrolytic enzyme) that can destroy unwanted structures and pathogens. |
|
|
Ribosome |
Made from rRNA and protein used for protein synthesis. |
|
|
Rough endoplasmic reticulum |
Large network of tubes often connects to the nuclear membrane, each membrane is call a cisternae which is covered in ribosomes for the transport and synthesis proteins. |
|
|
Cell wall |
Made up of cellulose (plants and algae), Murein (bacteria) and chitin (fungi). To provide strength and rigidity to the cell and to withstand pressure. |
|
|
Vacuole |
Contains cell sap, a weak solution of sugar and salts can be used for storage and maintain cell shape. |
|
|
Chloroplast |
Double membrane bound organelle, contains the stroma site of Light independent reaction. Thylakoid discs stacked into grana contain chlorophyll and is the site of Light dependent reaction of photosynthesis. |
|
|
Starch grain |
This is a large store of glucose produced from photosynthesis and doesn’t affect the water potential of the cell. |
|
|
Algal cells |
Cell wall & chloroplasts |
|
|
Fungi |
Cell wall |
|
|
Nucleolus |
coordinates the synthesis of ribosomes with rRNA and proteins. |
