|
Nucleus-Plants and animals |
Contains the DNA of cell |
|
|
Chromatin-Plants, and Animals |
Condenses to form the chromosomes |
|
|
Nucleolus-Plants and animals |
Center; produces ribosomes (rRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA) |
|
|
Nuclear Membrane- Plants and animals |
Double membrane with pores; allows for transport of RNA into and out of the nucleus. |
|
|
Cytosol-Plants and animals |
"Soup" within which all cell organelles reside. Mostly water and proteins. Cytoplasm=cytosol + Organelles |
|
|
Ribosome-plant, animals, prokaryotes |
Site of protein synthesis "amino acids are assembled into protein based on instruction given by mRNA" (RED DOTS) |
|
|
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum-Plants and animals |
-studded with Ribosome (rough appearance texture) -Helps to assemble proteins (presence of ribosome) -Takes in proteins and helps prepare for transport throughout cell. |
|
|
Golgi Apparatus-Plants and animals |
Receives, sorts, modifies and packages macromolecules to different parts of cell |
|
|
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Animal and plants |
several functions based on specific cell... synthesis lipids (phospholipids and steroids) -Detoxify liver cell -Stores calcium ions in muscle cells. |
|
|
Central Vacuole-Plants |
Store water, nutrients, and waste products, plays a role in intracellular digestion, regulates tugar/ water pressure. (Gives plants its ability to stand upright) |
|
|
Food Vacuole-Plants and animals |
Small; stores water and nutrients temporarily |
|
|
Secretory/ Transport Vesicle- Plants and animals |
-package for transporting, materials around the cell. -transport macromolecules to and from golgi apparatus |
|
|
Lysosomes-Animal |
-"Intracellular digestion" -Contain hydrolytic ENZYMES that are involved in breaking down waste, old organelles, bacteria and Virus. |
|
|
Centriole-Animals |
Fused Microtubules -Helps to organize cell division (Creates spindle fibers used in cell division) |
|
|
Cytoskeleton-Prokaryotes, plants, and animals 1)Microfilament 2)Microtubules 3)Intermediate Filaments |
-Helps maintain cell shape -Helps in cell motility (internal Movement of cell organelles) |
|
|
Mitochondria-Animals and Plants |
-Site of cellular respiration -convert chemical energy stored in food into compannas that are more convent for the cell to use (ATP) |
|
|
Chloroplasts- Plants |
-Site of photosynthesis -capture energy from the sunlight and convert it into food that contains chemical energy |
|
|
Cell Wall-Plants, prokaryotes |
-composed of cellulose -RIGID protective barrier that provides and helps maintain cell shape. |
|
|
Cellular (Plasma) Membrane- Prokaryotes, Plants, and animals |
-Phospholipid bilayer -FLEXIBLE protective barrier that regulates what enters and leaves the cell. |
