|
Plasma membrane |
made up from proteins, a phospholipid bilayer and glycoproteins. It regulates the movement of substances in and out the cell. |
Gate of the cell |
|
|
Microvilli |
Folded parts of the cell membrane that increase surface area for absorption |
|
|
|
Nucleus |
contains DNA in the form of chromatin which contain the instructions for protein synthesis. Also contains nucleoplasm and a nucleolus which controls the synthesis of Ribosomes with rRna and proteins |
|
|
|
Mitochondria |
The inner membrane is folded into cristae to increase surface area and inside is the matrix which contains respiratory enzymes which cause aerobic respiration which produces ATP. |
powerhouse of the cell |
|
|
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum |
large network of tubes responsive for the transport and synthesis of lipids |
|
|
|
Rough endoplasmic reticulum |
large network of tubes that usually connects to the nuclear membrane. each membrane is called a cisternae which is covered in ribosomes for the transport and synthesis of proteins |
|
|
|
Golgi Apparatus |
flattened membrane sacs which sort,modify and package the lipids and proteins produced by the RER and SER. also produces lysosomes |
post office of the cell |
|
|
Lysosome |
membrane vesicle produced by the golgi. they contain hydrolytic enzymes called lysozymes that destroy unwanted cells and pathogens |
|
|
|
Ribosome |
made from rRNA and proteins and is responsible for protein synthesis |
|
|
|
Cell wall |
made of cellulose in plants and algae and chitin in fungi. it provides strength and rigidity to the cell so it can withstand pressure |
|
|
|
Vacuole |
contains cell sap, a weak solution of sugar and salts, and can be used for storage of waste products and to maintain a cells shape |
|
|
|
Chloroplast |
Contains the stroma which is the site of light independent reactions and thylakoid discs which contain chlorophyll for light dependent reactions like photosynthesis. |
|
|
|
Starch Grain |
a large store of glucose produced from photosynthesis that doesn’t affect a cells water potential |
|
|
|
Algal Cells |
contain flagella so they can move in water towards light contain a large chloroplast for photosynthesis have a cellulose cell wall can be multicellular or unicellular |
|
|
|
Fungal Cells |
Can be multicellular or unicellular Have a chitin cell wall have no chloroplasts Made of long thin strands called hyphae which increase their surface area for water absorption Perform Extracellular Digestion by releasing digestive enzymes |
|
