Nucleus |
Largest of organelles, contains genetic information |
|
|
Chromosomes |
Threadlike structures made of DNA. |
|
|
Nuclear envelope |
Double membrane that encases the nucleus. |
|
|
Chromatin |
Genetic material before shortening and condensing of cell division |
|
|
Nucleoplasm |
Found in nuclear envelope with chromatin. |
|
|
Nuclear pores |
Openings in nuclear envelope where communication between the nucleus and cytoplasm occur. |
|
|
Nucleolus |
Specialized region on nucleus. Produces specialized RNA |
|
|
Ribosomes |
Primary role is synthesis of polypeptides and proteins. Spherical structures accounting for 25% of dry weight for a cell. |
|
|
Endoplasmic reticulum |
Network of tubules vesicles and sacs that interconnect with plasma membrane and other organelles. |
|
|
Rough Endoplasmic reticulum |
Portion of Endoplasmic reticulum with ribosomes |
|
|
Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum |
Portion of Endoplasmic reticulum without ribosomes. Stores enzymes like calcium. |
|
|
Golgi apparatus |
Organelle that processes protein for the cell membrane and other organelles. Protein processing and packaging. |
|
|
Cisternae |
Transport vesicles from Endoplasmic reticulum. Takes protein to Golgi apparatus. |
|
|
Lysosomes |
Garage disposal system of cells. Uses phagocytosis |
|
|
Vacuoles |
Membrane bound organelles used for temporary storage or transport of substances such as food. |
|
|
Mitochondria |
Provide energy needed for cells biochemical processes, powerhouse of cell. |
|
|
Cilia |
Hairlike structures that move in a back and forth motion. |
|
|
Flagella |
Like cilia, move in an undulating, wavelike manner. Moves sperm. |
|
|
Cellular respiration |
Metabolic process with a cell that converts nutrients to energy in the form of ATP. And releases waste. |
