|
Nucleus |
Control Center of the cell contains DNA, chromosomes, chromatin and nucleolus |
|
|
DNA |
Found in Nucleus, contains genetic instructions |
|
|
Chromosomes |
Wound up DNA found in Nucleus |
|
|
Chromatin |
Unwound DNA found in Nucleus |
|
|
Nucleolus |
Found in Nucleus produces ribosomes |
|
|
Nuclear Envelope |
Double membrane that had pores to control what enters and leaves the nucleus |
|
|
Ribosomes |
Use the instructions from the nucleus, written in RNA, to make proteins. |
|
|
Free Ribosomes |
Suspended in cytoplasm |
|
|
Bound Ribosomes |
Attached to the outside of the endoplasmic reticulum or nuclear envelope |
|
|
Vesicles |
Connects organelles together |
|
|
Endomembrane System |
Composed of membranes that divide the cell into functional and structural compartments, or organelles |
|
|
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum |
Lacks Ribosomes... makes lipids |
|
|
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum |
Makes Proteins through attached Ribosomes |
|
|
Golgi Apparatus |
Modifies, sorts and ships cell products. Works with the smooth and rough ER |
|
|
Lysosomes |
Membrane enclosed sac of digestive enzymes which only is found in animal cells. Digests food... acts as a decomposer inside of the cell |
|
|
Vacuoles |
Large vesicles with perform a variety of functions. animal cells have small many small ones Plant cells have 1 large one |
|
|
Mitochondria |
Carries out cellular respiration to convert chemical energy of food to ATP |
|
|
Chloroplast |
Organelle only found in plant cells that makes photosynthesis possible. Converts light energy from the sun into sugar molecules. |
|
|
Cytoskeleton |
Network of protein fibers that provide structural support as well as movement |
|
|
Centrosomes |
Pair of centrioles made of microtubles Used in animal cells for cell division |
|
|
Cilia and Flagella |
Made of microtubles that extend to the outside of the cell |
|
|
External Matrix |
External Layer in animal cells that helps hold cells together |
|
|
Cell Wall |
Outermost layer only found in plant cells |
