Cells
Cell wall | Supports the cell membrane |
---|---|
Cell membrane | Separates cell from environment |
Nucleus | Control center, directs cells activites |
Nuclear membrane | Protects the nucleus |
Nucleolus | Dark round structure inside nucleus, produces ribosomes |
Chromosomes | Contain genetic material, contains instructions that directs functions of cell. |
Cytoplasm | Holds and moves the organelle |
Chloroplast | Captures Suns energy to produce sugar, sight of photosynthesis |
Mitochondrion | Contains the cells food into chemical energy, site of most energy production or power source |
Ribosomes | Synthesize for producing proteins |
Endoplasmic retculum | Assembles proteins and lipids and transports them thought the cell Rough er: houses ribosomes which produce proteins Smooth er: makes lipids; breaks down toxins. |
Golgi apparatus | Modifies salts, and packages proteins and lipids through the er. |
Vacuoles | Stores water, salts, proteins,food, and waste products. |
Vesicles | Store and move materials between organelles |
Lysosome | Breaks down old or damaged organelles, gets rid of waste materials |
Cytoskeleton | Give cell its shape and prevent cell from collapsing |
Centrioles | Helps organize cell division |
