Cell (plasma) membrane |
Provides form to cell and controls passage of materials into and out of cell |
|
Cytoplasm |
Suspends organelles; a matrix in which chemical reactions occur |
|
Endoplasmic reticulum |
Facilitates cell transport of proteins; smooth ER produces lipids, rough ER produces proteins |
|
Ribosomes |
Synthesize proteins; located on rough endoplasmic reticulum |
|
Mitochondria |
Production of ATP in aerobic respiration |
|
Golgi complex |
Modifies, sorts, packages, and transports proteins from rough ER; forms secretory membrane and transport vesicles |
|
Lysosomes |
Digest foreign molecules and worn cells |
|
Centrosome |
Organizes spindle fibers and assists mitosis |
|
Vessicles |
Store and excrete substances within the cytoplasm |
|
Cytoskeleton |
Support cytoplasm and transport materials |
|
Cilia and flagella |
Movement of particles along cell surface or move cell |
|
Nucleus |
Directs cell activity; forms ribosomes |
|
Interstitial fluid |
Bathes tissue, is located between tissues |
|
Extra Cellular Fluid |
Any fluid outside the cell (Ex. Blood plasma, spinal fluid, ISF, CSF) |
|
Cytosol |
Intracellular fluid |
|
Phospholipids Bilayer |
Creates cell membrane, gives form to cell and controls entry and exiting |
|
Cell Wall |
Provides plant cells with structural support and protection |
|
Cholesterol |
Makes hormones and vitamin D; helps to digest food |
|
Glycoproteins |
Proteins with sugar attached. Help with immune and reproductive system, as well as communication with other cells |
|
Glycolipids |
Lipids with attached carbohydrate, help with cell recognition and provide energy |
|
Channel Protein |
Protein that allows transportation across cell membrane |
|
Tight junction |
Two adjacent animal cell membranes with no space between them |
|
Gap junction |
Intercellular connections between animal cell types that connect the cytoplasm, allowing molecules, ions and electrical impulses to pass through a regulated gate |
|
Desmosomes |
Attachment of two adjacent cells |
