|
cell membrane |
the outer covering of the cell consisting of a lipid bilayer with proteins embedded in it |
|
|
nucleus |
the control center of a cell |
|
|
cytoplasma |
is the jelly like substance in a cell that contains the cytosol organelles and inclusion but not including the nucleus |
|
|
Vacuole |
a membrane bound vesicle found in the cytoplasm of a cell whose function includes intracelluar secretion excretion storage and digestion |
|
|
Lysosome |
organelles containing a large range of digestion and removal of excess or worn out organelles food particles and engulfed viruses or bacteria |
|
|
Ribosome |
A molecule consisting of two subunits that fit together and work as one to build proteins according to the genetic sequence heldwithin the messenger RNA |
|
|
Rough endoplasmic reticulum |
Has ribosomes attached to its surface is therefore involved in protein synthesis and secretion |
|
|
smooth endoplasmic reticulum |
does not have ribosomes on its surface it is involved in intercellular transport such as the transport of the products of the RER to other cell parts like Golgi apparatus |
|
|
Golgi apparatus |
involved in carbohydrates to proteins packaging of molecules like proteins in to vesicles for secretion transport of lipids around the cell |
|
|
chloroplast |
green site for photosynthesis |
|
|
mitochondrion |
Powerhouse of the cell since they act as the site for the production of high energy compounds which are vital energy source for several cellular processes |
|
|
Cell wall |
A membrane of the cell that forms external to the cell membrane whose main role is to give cells rigidity strength and protection against mechanical stress it is found in cells of plants bacteria archaea fungi algae animals and most protists do not have cell walls |
