|
Cell Membrane |
Semi-permeable membrane selective barrier. allows for the transport of substances into and out of cells. |
|
|
Nucleus |
CONTROL CENTER OF THE CELL BECAUSE IT HAS DNA. DIRECTS THE ACTIVITIES. |
|
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum |
Transportation system in the cell and the site of chemical reactions. (can be rough with ribosomes or smooth without ribosomes). SMooth ER lipid synthesis and detoxification high in liver cell. |
|
|
Mitochondria |
Powerhouse of the cell because it s the site for cellular respiration which is a process where sugar is broken down to make ATP. |
|
|
Golgi Apparatus |
Modifies and packages proteins. |
|
|
Lysosomes |
Contains harmful digestive enzymes that can break down dead organelles and kill microorganisms. |
|
|
Animal Only: Centriole |
Produce the spindle fibers required to do cell division. |
|
|
Vacuoles/ Vesicles |
Membrane bound storage packages. Product or waste. |
|
|
Cytoskeleton |
Cell motility strength, holds organelles in place. |
|
|
Nucleolous |
Inside the nucleus. It is the site where ribosomes are made. |
|
|
Ribosomes |
Are the site for protein synthesis. Free ribosomes (not attached to the ER) produce protein that is to be used in the cell and for the cell itself. Attached ribosomes produce protein that is meant to leave the cell. |
|
|
Cytoplasm |
Liquid portion of the cell where organelles sit |
|
|
Plant Only: Chloroplast |
CONtains chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis |
|
|
Plant Only: Large Vacuole |
Stores nutrients and water provides a reason for water to rush in. |
