Mrs. Kamienski Cells
Kamienski Animal Cell Structure and Function
| Organelle | Function |
|---|---|
| cell membrane | maintains homeostasis, controls movement in and out of the cell |
| cytoplasm | watery substance which contains organelles, chem rxns take place here |
| Nucleus | contol center of cells metabolism and reproduction |
| ribosome | site of protein production found alone in cytoplasm or on ER |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | canals which serve as transport of materials for the cell, has large surface area for biochem rxn's |
| Mitochondria | powerhouse of the cell, here biochemical rxn's occur and energy is released |
| Golgi Apparatus | Processing, packaging and storage center for the cell |
| Vacuoles | can be storage center, others can pump excess H20 from the cell |
| Centrioles | made of microtubules, found near nucleus, involved in cell division |
| Lysosomes | little sacs which contain digestive enzymes |
| Nucleolus | found inside the nucleus, site of ribosome production |
| Microtubules & filaments | makes up the cytoskeleton, gives shape and protection, and helps cell move |
| Cilia or microvilli | made of microtubules, move like waves, move debris and other materials |
| Flagella | long and whip like in shape, helps cell move around |
| Nuclear Membrane | porous membrane which controls what comes in or out of the nucleus |
