Organells |
The structures in a cell that act like specialized organans |
|
|
|
Vacuoles |
Large, sac-like, membrane-enclosed structures that are used to store materials such as salts, proteins, carbohydrates |
Cells storage |
|
|
Lysosomes |
Small organelles filled with enzymes that break down substrates and organelles that have out lived their usefulness |
"junk" removers |
|
|
Cytoskeleton |
A network of filaments that are found in eukaryote cells that give the cell their shape and internal organization |
"skeleton" of the cell |
|
|
Centrioles |
Organelles Not found in plant cells that are located near the nucleus of a cell to help with cell division |
Help split the cell |
|
|
Ribosomes |
Small particles of RNA and protein found throughout the cytoplasm in all cells that produce proteins by following coded instructions that come from DNA |
|
|
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum |
Where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled, along with proteins and other materials that are exported from the cell. |
|
|
|
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough ER) |
The portion of the ER that is involved in the synthesis of proteins. |
It's covered with ribosomes |
|
|
Smooth ER |
The portion of the ER that contains a collection of enzymes that perform specialized tasks, including the synthesis of the membrane lipids and the detoxification of drugs. |
Part of ER with no ribosomes n o ribosomes attached |
|
|
Golgi Apparatus |
An organelles that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the ER for storage in the cellar release outside the cell. |
|
|
|
Chloroplasts |
Organelles that are contained in plants and some other organisms that capture energy from sunlight and convert it into food that contains chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis. |
"Solar panels" of eukaryote cells and some other organelles. |
|
|
Mitochondria |
Organelles, found in nearly all eukaryotic cells, that convert the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell use. |
"power plants" of the cell |
|
|
Cell Wall |
A thick barrier that surrounds the cell. Found in many prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell, except animal cells. |
Thick barrier |
|
|
Lipid Bilayer |
The double layer of the cell Membrane which regulates what enters and leaves the cell. It also gives the cell membranes a flexible structure that forms a strong barrier which protects and supports the cell. |
Structure of the cell Membrane |
