| cell membrane |
maintains homeostasis, controls movement in and out of the cell |
| cytoplasm |
watery substance which contains organelles, chem rxns take place here |
| Nucleus |
contol center of cells metabolism and reproduction |
| ribosome |
site of protein production found alone in cytoplasm or on ER |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum |
canals which serve as transport of materials for the cell, has large surface area for biochem rxn's |
| Mitochondria |
powerhouse of the cell, here biochemical rxn's occur and energy is released |
| Golgi Apparatus |
Processing, packaging and storage center for the cell |
| Vacuoles |
can be storage center, others can pump excess H20 from the cell |
| Centrioles |
made of microtubules, found near nucleus, involved in cell division |
| Lysosomes |
little sacs which contain digestive enzymes |
| Nucleolus |
found inside the nucleus, site of ribosome production |
| Microtubules & filaments |
makes up the cytoskeleton, gives shape and protection, and helps cell move |
| Cilia or microvilli |
made of microtubules, move like waves, move debris and other materials |
| Flagella |
long and whip like in shape, helps cell move around |
| Nuclear Membrane |
