Cell Notes
cell structures and functions
structures | functions |
---|---|
Cell Wall | *Animal cells dont have one *plants:made of cellulose |
Cell Membrane | *outside covering *determines what goes in/out of cell *flexible but supports cells |
Vacuole | *storage unit in cells that hold water *LARGE in plant, small in animal cells |
Nucleus | *control center of cell *houses DNA *controls cell growth and makes ribosome |
Lysosome | *contains digestive enzymes to break things down in cell |
Mitochondria | *"power house of the cell" *produces energy (breaks down glucose) *C6H12O6+O2 CO2+ H20+energy |
Cytoplasm | *Gelatinous, semi-transparent fluid that fills the cells *organelles are suspended in cytoplasm |
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | *covered in ribosomes,stores proteins |
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | * (no ribosomes) transports cell products |
Ribosome | * site of protein Synthesis |
Golgi Body | * Packages cell products for transport (like UPS) |
Chloroplast | *Site of Photosynthesis: captures radiant energy and converts it to chemical energy (C6H12O6) * has Chlorophyll - green pigment that absorbs light |
