Cell Functions
Biology
| Definition | Picture |
|---|---|
| Ribosome | A cell organelle where protein synthesis occurs. (Director of Activity) |
| Golgi Apparatus | A cell organelle that helps make and package materials to be transported out of the cell. (Packaging) |
| Vesicle | A fluid- or air-filled cavity or sac, in particular. (Maintenance and Storage) |
| Mitochondria | In Eukaryotic cells, the cell organelle that is surrounded by 2 membranes and that is the site of cellular respiration. (Energy Production) |
| Nucleus | the central and most important part of an object, movement, or group, forming the basis for its activity and growth. (Directors of Activity) |
| Cell Membrane | the semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell. (Frameworks) |
| Cytoplasm | the material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the nucleus. (Frameworks) |
| Lysosome | an organelle in the cytoplasm of Eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane. (Maintenance and Storage) |
| Chloroplasts | (in green plant cells) a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place. (Energy Production) |
| Nucleolus | a small dense spherical structure in the nucleus of a cell during interphase. (Directors of Activity) |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | No Ribosomes giving it the smooth look. Packages lipids (Packaging) |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | Had Ribosomes giving it the rough look. Packages Ribosomes (Packaging) |
