Nuclear
envelope:
Membrane enclosing the nucleus
Protein-lined
pores allow material to move in and out
Chromatin:
DNA
plus associated
proteins
Nucleolus:
Condensed region where ribosomes are formed
Peroxisome:
Metabolizes waste
2 types of Endoplasmic reticulum:
Rough
and
Smooth
Plasma membrane:
Provides
protection
for a cell
Lysosome:
Digests food and waste materials
Golgi
apparatus:
Modifies proteins
Cytoplasm:
Responsible for cell shape, material transport, cellular respiration, and storage
Cell expansion, growth, and replication
Mitochondria
:
Produce energy
Vacuole:
Take in waste products and also get rid of waste products
The
nucleus
is the control centre of the cell, containing genetic material (
DNA
) that controls all activities within the cell.
Rough ER is a network of membrane-bound sacs that
synthesize
proteins and
transport
them to the Golgi apparatus
Rough ER
is associated with
ribosomes
; makes secretory and membrane
Smooth ER makes
lipids
Cytoskeleton for animal cells is composed of
microtubules
,
centrosome
,
intermediate filament
, and
microfilaments
Microtubules
forms the mitotic spindle and maintain cell shape
Centrosome
is a microtubule-organizing center
Intermediate
filaments
are fibrou proteins that hold organelles in place
Microfilaments
form the cellular cortex and are fibrous proteins
Cytoskeleton in plant cells are composed of
microtubules
,
intermediate filament
, and
microfilaments
