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 |
