Cell Membrane
Molecules and functions
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Nucleoplasm | contains everything nucleus needs |
| Peroxisome | catalyze metabolic reactions, and important in the breakdown of many organic molecules |
| Microtubles | make up centriole, supports cytoplasm, and helps move substances and organelles within the cytoplasm (big) |
| Nucleolus | site of ribosome production |
| Ribosome | synthesizes proteins |
| Nucleus | brain; controls protein synthesis |
| Centrosome | helps distribute chromosomes to new cells during cell division |
| Centrioles | distributes chromosomes; helps with mitosis |
| Chromatin | cellular information (DNA) for synthesizing proteins |
| Golgi Apparatus | packages protein molecules, then ships them out |
| Rough ER | transports proteins;moves materials within the cell |
| Smooth ER | transports lipids; no ribosomes attached |
| Vacuole | storage |
| Nuclear Envelope (membrane) | controls what goes in and out of the nucleus |
| Mitochondria | powerhouse of the cell (makes ATP energy); site of cellular resperation |
| Intermediate Filaments | holds microtubles and filaments together (medium) |
| Microfilaments | aides cell motility; support cytoplasm, and helps move substances and organelles within the cytoplasm (small) |
| Lysosomes | cleans up and breaks down worn out cellular parts/ substances |
| Cell Membrane | controls what goes in and out of the cell; made of phospholipids, proteins, and carbohydrates |
| Cytoplasm | gel with all the materials the cell needs |
