Cell Membrane
|
aka plasma
made of phospholipids plus some proteins and cholesterol. regulates what enters and leaves the cell. |
|
Cytoplasm
|
aka cytosol
nonorganelle part of the cell, mixture of many chemicals, can transport and dissolve chemicals |
|
Cell Wall
|
absent in animals
in plants made of cellulose, a polysaccharide, in bacteria made of complex structures, in fungi made of chitin, a polysaccharide, in protists cell wall structure varies |
|
Mitochondrion
|
where cell releases most of the energy as ATP, has some of its own DNA, site of cellular respiration except for glycolysis
|
|
Plastids (3 parts)
|
found in plants.
a. Chloroplasts-site of photosynthesis, transforms solar energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose sugar, also has own DNA b. Leucoplasts- store starch or lipids c.Chromoplasts-give color to plants |
|
Nucleus
|
Contains nuclear membrane, nucleolus, nucleoplasm, and chromatin (DNA) (chromosomes when chromatin is condensed), -control center where DNA is copied and RNA is made.
|
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
|
where proteins and other chemicals are made.
Rough ER- has ribosomes and makes proteins Smooth ER-lacks ribosomes and makes lipids and detoxifies chemicals |
|
Smooth ER
|
lacks ribosomes and makes lipids and detoxifies chemicals
|
|
Rough ER
|
has ribosomes and makes proteins
|
|
Golgi Apparatus (GA)
|
packages and processes chemicals made elsewhere
|
|
Vesicles
|
Tiny membraned bags that contain chemicals released from ER, GA, or elsewhere. Can be realeased from cell or sent elsewhere in the cell. (releasing called exocytosis)
|
|
Vacuole
|
large to very large bag that contains chemicals food or regulates cell osmotic pressure. Food vacuole formed by phagocytosis
|
|
Lysosome
|
"suicide bag" that contains digestive enzymes for intracellular digestion.
|
|
Ribosomes
|
made of two subunits of RNA and protein which are used to make new proteins
|
|
Cell Wall
|
gives support and protects cell. in plants is made of cellulose, in fungi is made of chitin, in bacteria is made of several chemicals
