Cytoplasm |
Location; Between the nucleus and the cell membrane. What is it made of; Water, gas, and waste. Description; Thick substance. Function; Flows within cell. "holds" organelles. |
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum Smooth |
Location; Found through out the cell but the density is higher near the nucleus and the Golgi apparatus. What is is made of; Ribosomes Description; Looks like a system of canals. Double membrane that lies parallel to one another Function; Provides a surface for the ribosomes to attach to. Has a system of canals, for material to pass through the cytoplasm. |
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum Rough |
Location; Found through out the cell but the density is higher near the nucleus and the Golgi apparatus. What is it made of; Ribosomes. Description; System of canals. Function; Responsible for the assembly of many proteins. |
|
Ribosomes |
Location; Attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. What is it made of; Contains large amounts of R.N.A (ribonucleic acid) Description; Granular in appearance. Function; Contain enzymes that control protein synthesis. |
|
Mitochondria |
Location; Mitochondria is located in the cytoplasm in the animal cell. What is it made of; 2 membranes- each layer contains protein and fat. Description; Rod shape. Function; Releases this energy that supports all cell activities. Helps control amount of water in cytoplasm. Involved in the break down of sugars, fatty acids, and amino acids. |
|
Lysosome |
Location; Located in the cytoplasm. What is it made of; Enzymes. Description; Simple, single membrane. "suicide sac" -- "stomach of the cell" . Function; Contains enzymes that cause the digestion(breaking down) of proteins. When a cell takes in a large molecule the lysosome breaks it up. Enzymes are very concentrated- if ruptured the enzymes would destroy the cell. |
|
Golgi apparatus |
Location; Located close to the endoplasmic reticulum. What is it made of; Cells with clearly defined nuclei that is made up of a series of flattened, stacked pouches called cisternae. Description; Looks like a stack of flattened sacs. Separated by membranes. Function; Receives molecules of protein from endoplasmic reticulum. Acts as a protein packaging factory. It wraps up a large number of protein molecules into a single bundle, this bundle goes to the cell membrane to be exported. This is how hormones, enzymes, and other types of protein are secreted. |
|
Vacuole |
Location; It is located In the cytoplasm. What is it made of; It may contain food or waste. Fluids-- mainly water. Description; Filled with fluids. Very large in plants. Function; The vacuolar membrane controls movement of molecules from vacuole and into cell. |
|
Chloroplast |
Location; Located in the cytoplasm of a plant. What is it made of; It is made of chlorophyll Description; Green pigment, looks like a stack of pancakes. Function; Photosynthesis occurs and converts the suns energy into carbohydrates.
|
|
Cell Wall |
Location; The outer most layer of the cell. What is it made of; It is made of cellulose and protein. Description; Middle lamella-- jelly like. Non-living. Function; It protects and supports. |
|
Nucleus |
Location; Center of cell What is it made of; DNA & RNA Description; Round, 2 layers Function; Control center for all cell activities
|
|
Nuclear Membrane |
Location; The outer most layer of the nucleus What is it made of; Has and an underlying meshwork of filaments called the nuclear lamina. The lamina is made of proteins called lamins Description; Thin double membrane Function; Allows certain substances to pass from the nucleus to the cytoplasm |
|
Nucleoplasm |
Location; Between the nucleolus and the nuclear membrane What is it made of; It is rich in protein Description; Thick fluid substance Function; Hold the nucleus in place |
|
Nucleolus |
Location; Center of the cell What is it made of; Description; Round Function; Produces ribosomes. Takes part in protein synthesis |
|
Chromosome |
Location; In the nucleus of the cell What is it made of; Made of genes(DNA & protein). DNA= deoxyribonucleic acid Description; Granular material Function; Controls the activities of the cell, info on heredity, structure, and function. During reproduction chromatin shortens, and thickens into rods called chromosomes. |
|
Cell Membrane |
Location; The outer layer of a cell What is it made of; Protein and lipids Description; Not solid, pores, and selectively permeable membrane Function; Pores allow certain substances into and/or out of the cell. |
