-
Cell Membrane
Surrounds all cells, regulates the passage of materials in and out of the cell.
-
Cell Wall
Found only in plants, it is a structure that surrounds and protects the plant cells-- supports and provides shape-- made of cellulose (polysaccharides)
-
Nucleus
Large, usually circular organelle that carries Chromosomes and controls cell division. Control center of cell.
-
Nuclear Membrane
Surrounds Nucleus-- controls movement of material in and out of Nucleus.
-
Nucleolus
Center of Nucleus. Makes Ribosomes.
-
Chromatin
Fine strands of DNA found in the Nucleus.
-
Chromosome
Chromatin that has thickened for cell reproduction.
-
Cytoplasm
A fluid that takes up space between organelles. Filled with microtubules and filaments that hold the structure for the cell. Jelly-like.
-
Vacuoles
Storage sacs of the cell-- hold water and food.
-
Ribosomes
Site where proteins are made (protein factory). Made of RNA. DNA instructs ribosomes which proteins to make.
-
Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Two types: Rough and smooth.
- Involved with the transport of proteins.
- Often called protein plumbing.
-
Golgi Bodies
- Takes/transports vesicles from the Endoplasmic Reticulum then moves them outside of cell.
- Layered trash sacs in cell-- waste and proteins.
-
Lysosomes
- Filled with enzymes-- break down proteins for digestion (breaks down proteins for cell structure)
- Suicide sacs-- if one bursts, it will digest itself.
-
Mitochondria
Takes fuel and turns it into energy for the cell. (Location for cellular respiration).
-
Cristae
Folded surfaces inside Mitochondria that increase work area in less space.
-
Plastids
Only found in plants. Stores pigments. Chloroplasts make plants green (chlorophyll)
-
Cilia
Hair-like projections on cell membrane that help it move.
-
Flagella
Long tail used in locomotion.
-
Centrioloes
Animal cells only: Used in cell reproduction.
