|
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) |
The ER the first part of the transportation function in the cell. It transfers proteins and lipids to the Golgi complex so it can get to the places it has to in the cell. |
|
|
Golgi Complex |
The golgi complex is the second part of the transportation system in the cell.The golgi complex take proteins and lipids from the ER, packages them and sends them where they are needed in the cell. |
|
|
Ribosome |
The ribosome is the smallest organelle inside a cell. They make proteins which build, support or repair the cells and tissues. They can either be free in the cytoplasm or attached to the ER. |
|
|
Vacuoles |
The vacuoles are the storage compartments in the cell. They can store food water, and waste. |
|
|
Lysosomes |
The lysosome is only found in animal cells. It breaks down large food molecules into smaller food molecules. It also can break down waste and invaders. |
|
|
Cell Wall |
The cell wall is only found in the plant cell. It is a rigid structure that holds the shape of the cell. It also serves as extra protection and support. |
|
|
Chloroplasts |
The chloroplasts are only found in plant cells. They capture sunlight, and use water and carbon dioxide to produce food in the process of photosynthesis. |
|
