- Front
- Back
|
Cytoplasm |
includes cytosol and all of the organelles and cell parts suspended in the cytosol |
|
|
Cell membrane |
- encloses the cell and protects its contents - made of phospholipids - controls what enters and exits the cell |
|
|
Cilia |
Hair like projections on the cell membrane. It allows the cell to move around and sense other cell movement as well. |
|
|
Mitochandria |
involved in cellular respiration to make energy for the cell |
|
|
Vacuole |
membrane bound storage vessels, for food water, wastes etc. |
|
|
Nucleus |
The main control area of the cell which contains the DNA |
|
|
Nuclear membrane |
surrounds and protects the components of the nucleus. |
|
|
Nucleolus |
Produces ribosomes |
|
|
DNA |
hold the genetic information for cell which is used to control cell by coding for proteins |
|
|
Chromosomes |
Thread-like structures in the nucleus, which contains the genetic information of a cell. |
|
|
Ribosomes |
Assemble amino acids into polypeptides in a process called protein synthesis Can be free floating in the cytosol or attached to the RER |
|
|
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) |
Makes lipids/steroids Breaks down toxins in the liver Stores and releases calcium |
|
|
rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) |
Helps in forming proteins and transports them to to other parts of the cell |
|
|
Vesicles |
Small membrane bound storage and tubular structure for transport |
|
|
Golgi body |
modify package and transport proteins to where they are needed |
|
|
Lysosomes (found in animal cells only) |
Membrane bound sacs which contain enzymes that can - break down old cell parts - help in digestion of food in some cells -can be used to kill bacteria in some white blood cells |
|
|
Chloroplasts |
carry out photosynthesis to produce glucose |
|
|
cytoskeleton |
a network of fiber which gives the cell shape, can help with cell movement and can also be used for transport of certain materials within cell. |
|
|
cytosol |
jelly like fluid inside cell many chemical reactions take place here. |
