|
Nucleus
|
Structure within cell that contains genetic information that controls the cell’s activities. This genetic information is stored on chromosomes
|
|
|
DNA
|
Deoxyribonucleic Acid. Substance that carries genetic information and controls cell activities. Found in nucleus in Eukaryotic cells
|
|
|
Ribosome
|
Makes/manufactures important substances for cell functions; eg. proteins
|
|
|
Plasma Membrane
|
Surrounds cell. Double layered; supports cell and is semi permeable.
|
|
|
Cytoplasm
|
All the semifluid material inside a cell.
|
|
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum
|
Network of branching tubes & pockets extending from the nucleus through the cytoplasm to the cell membrane. Transports materials (e.g. proteins) through the cell.
|
|
|
Mitochondria
|
Power house of the cell turns glucose to energy for the cell. |
|
|
Golgi
|
Collect & process materials to be removed from cell. Packages proteins like hormones in vesicles that can be moved out of cell.
|
|
|
Vacuoles
|
sacs that store or transport food, water or waste products in the cell
|
|
|
Lysosomes
|
Break down food and other cell material.
|
|
|
Cell Wall
|
Surrounds cell membrane. Plant cells only. Made of cellulose and provide structure to cell.
|
|
|
Chloroplasts
|
Plant cells only. Contain chlorophyll and gives green color. Absorb light energy for the process of photosynthesis.
|
|
|
Cytoskeleton
|
Made up of protein bundles, these structures help support and transport organelles around the cell
|
|
|
Flagella and Cilia
|
Attached to the outside of cells, these protein structures help in locomotion and moving food to cell.
