|
Mitochondria |
cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use. |
|
|
Nucleus |
structure that contains the cells genetic material in the form of DNA |
|
|
Nuclear Membrane (Nuclear Envelope) |
dotted with thousands of nuclear pores, which allow material to move into and out of the nucleus |
|
|
Nucleolus |
the assembly of ribosomes begin |
|
|
Ribosome |
cell organelle consisting of RNA and protein found throughout the cytoplasm in a cell; the site of protein synthesis |
|
|
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum |
abundant in cells that produce large amounts of protein for export. Other cellular proteins are made on "free" ribosomes, which are not attached to membranes |
|
|
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum |
collections of enzymes that perform specialized task, including the synthesis of membrane lipids and the detoxification of drugs |
|
|
Golgi Apparatus |
organelle in cells that modifies, sort, and packages proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage in the cell or release outside the cell |
|
|
Lysosomes |
cell organelle that breaks down lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins into small molecules that can used by the rest of the cell |
|
|
Cytosol |
the aqueous component of the cytoplasm of a cell, within various organelle and particles are suspended |
|
|
Vesicle |
store and move materials between cell organelles, as well as to and from the cell surface |
|
|
Cell Membrane |
a thin flexible barrier that surrounds cells |
|
|
Microtubules |
hollow structures made up of proteins known as tubulins, they play critical roles in maintaining the cell shape, help build the projections from the cell surface |
