|
Nucleus |
Controls all the functions of the cell; cell growth, differentiation, reproduction, function |
|
|
Nuclear Membrane |
Double phospholipid bilayer with pores that surrounds the nucleus |
|
|
Nucleoplasm |
Cytoplasm found within the nucleus |
|
|
Chromosomes |
Tightly wound DNA with proteins |
|
|
Chromatin |
Unwound DNA in the nucleus |
|
|
Nucleolus |
Dense region within the nucleus that is responsible for rRNA (and therefore ribosome) production. |
|
|
Cytoplasm |
Gelatinous fluid which fills the central portion of the cell. |
|
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ROUGH) |
Attached to the membranes of the nucleus; site of ribosomes and therefore protein synthesis. Channels store products as well as serve as passages. |
|
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum (SMOOTH) |
Site of lipid production and drug detoxification. Channels store products as well as serve as passages. |
|
|
Golgi Apparatus/Golgi Body |
Flattened saccuoles which received products synthesized by the cell and modify, assemble, label, package, store and ship them to parts of the cell or the cell membrane for export. |
|
|
Vesicles |
Transport packets made up of membrane which carry things around the cell. |
|
|
Vacuoles |
Storage spaces made up of membrane which store things that will be needed later or things that could be harmful if left to float around the cell. |
|
|
Lysosomes |
Vesicles filled with digestive enzymes that destroy the contents through hydrolysis. |
|
|
Cilia/Flagella |
function in cellular movement. |
|
|
Chloroplast |
Perform photosynthesis with the aid of chlorophyll; PLANTS & BACTERIA ONLY |
|
|
Mitochondria |
Perform cellular respiration that creates cellular energy which is used to power the entire cell |
|
|
Cell wall |
Made of cellulose, found on the outside of the plasma membrane and is semi-permeable; PLANTS & BACTERIA ONLY |
|
|
Plasma membrane/cellular membrane |
Made of phospholipids, proteins, steroids and carbohydrates; is selectively permeable and surrounds and encloses cells. |
|
|
Centrioles |
Found in Animal cells ONLY, aids in the cell division. |
