Gel-like substance that fills the cell and holds organelles in place. It is the site of many cellular activities.
Cytoplasm:
Powerhouse of the cell; generates ATP through cellular respiration, involved in energy production.
Mitochondria
Think of "lysol"
lysosomes
the making of proteins with ribosomes attached.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Members only can come and go
cell membrane
Site of photosynthesis; converts light energy into chemical energy (glucose).
Chloroplasts
This organelle is responsible for making sugar (glucose)
chloroplasts
Makes lipids, cleans out toxins, and stores calcium
Smooth ER Function
Stores nutrients, waste products, pigments, and provides structural support.
Vacuoles (plants)
What are the two categories of cells?
eukaryote and prokaryote
Provide movement; flagella are usually longer and fewer in number, while cilia are shorter and more numerous.
Flagella and Cilia
What are three functions of the Cell Wall?
1. Provides structural support, 2. protection, and 3. maintains the shape of the cell.
Tiny strands inside the nucleus that contain the instructions for directing cell's functions
chromatin
This type of cell does not have any membranes around their organelles
bacterial cell
What do Ribosomes do?
make protiens and assemble amino acids
This organelle is sometimes called a "tiny nucleus"
nucleolus
Nucleus
Contains the cell's genetic material (DNA), controls cell activities, and directs cell reproduction.
Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for transport within or outside the cell.
Golgi Apparatus (Golgi Complex):
Contains enzymes that break down and recycle cellular waste, damaged organelles, and foreign substances.
Lysosomes
This is also called the brain of the cell
nucleus
Cell Membrane (Plasma Membrane):
Regulates the entry and exit of substances, provides protection and support to the cell.
Provides structural support, maintains cell shape, and facilitates cell movement.
Cytoskeleton
"I'm a brick wall"
cell wall
The organelle will "store anything"
vacuoles
