cell structures func
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Golgi body | finishes sorts ships lipids enzymes and proteins |
| lysosome | digests recycles materials |
| smooth endoplasmic reticulum | makes lipids,breaks down carbohydrates and fats, dis activates toxins |
| rough endoplasmic reticulum | modifies proteins made by ribosomes attached to it |
| ribosomes | site of protein synthesis |
| nucleus | site of DNA |
| nucleolus | makes ribosomes |
| nuclear envelope | double membrane that covers the outer boundary of a cell |
| cytoskeleton | moves cell |
| mitochondria | energy powerhouse; produces ATP by aerobic respiration |
| microtubules | play a role in cytoskeleton, plays a role in cellular movement consists of protein tublin |
| microfilaments | play a role in cytoskeleton, consists of protein actin |
| centrioles | produce and organize microtubules |
| plasma membrane | selectively controls amount of substances that come in and out of cell |
| cell wall | protects structurally supports cell |
| chloroplast | site of photosynthesis |
| central vacuole | increases cell surface area, stores metabolic wastes(plant cells) |
| vesicles | transport proteins |
| cilia | short movable structures that project from plasma membrane |
| vacuole | fluid filled, isolates or disposes of wastes |
| endomembrane system | Golgi body,RER,SER,vesicles/lysosomes;proteins are modified and lipids are built |
| chromatin granule | contains DNA and RNA |
