Cell Notes
Cells/Structure/Function
| Structure | Function |
|---|---|
| Cell wall | Animal cells don't have one. Plants made of cellulose.gives strength structure and rigidity to plant thru Turgor Pressure. |
| Cell Memebrane | outside covering,determines what goes in and out of cell,flexible but supports cells. |
| Vacuole | storage unit in cells that hold water,LARGE in plants 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 | powerhouse" of the cell. Produces energy by breaking down glucose |
| Cytoplasm | gelatinous "goo", semi-transparent fluid that fills the cells. Organelles are suspended in it. |
| Ribosome | Site of protein synthesis (makes protein) |
| Rough ER | covered in ribosomes, stores proteins |
| Smooth ER | transports cell products |
| Golgi Body | Packages cell products for transport(like UPS) |
| Chloroplast | captures radiant energy and converts it to chemical energy(C6H12O6). Has Chlorophyll - green pigment that absorbs light. |
