- Front
- Back
|
Plasma Membrane
|
contains receptors for communication; forms intercellular connections; acts as physical barriers to enclose cell contents, regulates material movement into and out of the cell
|
|
|
Cytoplasm
|
site of metabolic processes of the cell; stores nutrients and dissolved solutes
|
|
|
Nucleus
|
acts as a cell control center, controls all genetic information (DNA), site of ribosome subunit assembly
|
|
|
Mitochondria
|
synthesizes most ATP during cellular respiration, powerhouses of the cell
|
|
|
Endoplasmicreticulum (ER)
both smooth and rough |
Smooth: synthesizes lipids, metabolizes carbohydrates, detoxifies drugs and alcohol
Rough: synthesizes proteins for secretion, new proteins for the plasma membrane and lysosome enzymes, transports and stores molecules |
|
|
Golgi Apparatus
|
modifies, packages, and sorts newly synthesized proteins for secretion, inclusion in new plasma membrane or lysosomal enzyme synthesis
|
|
|
Cytoskeleton
|
provides structural support, facilitates cytoplasmic streaming organelle and cellular motility, transport of materials and chromosomal movement in cell division
|
|
|
Lysosomes
|
digest materials or microbes ingested by the cell; remove old/damaged organelles -- then self destruct
