Cell Structure
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Microvilli | Short extensions that absorbs material into the cell |
| Nucleolus | Assembles ribosomes |
| Nucleus | Contains DNA and proteins |
| Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) | Synthesizes lipids |
| Plasma membrane | Bilayer of phospholipids |
| Centrioles | Separates chromosomes during cell division |
| Cytosol | Liquid portion of cytoplasm |
| Lysosomes | Degrades waste products |
| Rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) | Series of membranes studded with ribosomes; sorts proteins and forms them into more complex compounds |
| Secretory Vesicles | Store materials and move materials into or out of the cell in bulk (your cell's PODS container) |
| Ribosomes | Assembles amino acids into proteins |
| Peroxisomes | Breaks down free radicals in the cell |
| Cilia | Hair-like projections that move the fluids around the cell |
| Mitochondrion (bean shaped) | Generates ATP |
| Golgi apparatus | Packages proteins for export |
| Nuclear membrane | Encloses nucleus |
