Parts of a Cell

• Ribosomes - help in the assembly of proteins and are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum
• Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) forms a cisterna (network of interconnected sacs)
• Rough ER - has ribosomes and produces protein
• Smooth ER - has no ribosomes and produces lipids
• Golgi Bodies - a complex structure of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm
• Lysosome - "suicides bag" of the cell that has hydrolytic enzymes that break down waste products of cells
• Indigested food - remains in the lysosomes
• Hydrolytic Enzymes - proteins that use water to break down substances
• Phagosomes - contain phagocytosed particle enclosed within a part of the cell membrane
• Digested food - enters cytosol to begin oxidation
• Mitochondrion - power house of the cell that produces ATP
• Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) - complex organic compound that provides energy to the cell
• Flagella and Cilia - appendages responsible for the locomotion of the cell
• Flagellum - moves in a whip-like manner
• Cilium - moves in power and recovery strokes
• Axoneme - central core of the flagella and cilia
