| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Plasma membrane | Structure surrounding the cell (the skin of the cell), determines what enters and leaves the cell. Induces cells to stick together.Primary components are lipids and proteins. |
| Cytoplasm | All the material that is contained within the cell membrane outside of the nucleus. Workhorse of the cell. Synthesizes proteins. Comprised of small structures = Organelles. |
| Endoplasmic reticulum | Organelle comprised of canals or channels within the cytoplasm, works as a packaging system. With ribosomes, it metabolizes fat and builds proteins. Carries proteins from one part of cell to another. |
| Nucleus | Control center that contains the cell’s DNA. Controls organelles in the cytoplasm. Plays a role in active transport, metabolism, growth and heredity. |
| Ribosome | Organelle that with the endoplasmic reticulum, they metabolize fat and build proteins. Tiny, bi-lobed dark bodies. Made of proteins & RNA |
| Lysosome | Organelle that contains enzymes that aid in digestion within the cell. Abundant in white blood cells that engulf bacteria and other harmful substances. |
| Mitochondrion | Organelle that creates energy for the cell. It is known as the cell’s power plant. Sausage-shaped, double membrane. Forms ATP molecules which provide energy for all cellular activity. |
