Structures and Organelles
Cytoplasm
semifluid material inside the cell's plasma membrane
it provides a medium for the organelles to remain suspended, acts as a buffer, protects the genetic material of the cell, and the cellular organelles from damage caused due to movement and collision with other cells.
it's composed of water, protein, lipids, nucleic acids, inorganic salt and polysaccharides.
Cytoskeleton
supporting network of protein fibers that provide a framework for the cell within the cytoplasm
it helps cells maintain their shape and internal organization, and it also provides mechanical support that enables cells to carry out essential functions like division and movement.
it is made up of microtubules, actin filaments, and
intermediate filaments.
Centriole
the organelle that plays a role in cell division and is made up of microtubules
are paired barrel-shaped organelles located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope.
Cilia
short, hair like projections that function in cell movement
Flagella
long, tail-like projections with whiplike or propeller motion that help a cell move
Cell wall
in plants, the rigid barrier that surrounds the outside of the plasma membrane; is made of cellulose and provides support and protection to the cell
Nucleolus
site of ribosome production within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells
Nucleus
directs the cell's processes and stores information called DNA
Mitochondria
membrane bound organelles that convert fuel into energy that is available to the rest of the cell
Chloroplast
double-membrane organelle that captures light energy and converts it to chemical energy through photosynthesis
Grana
one of the stacks of pigment-containing thylakoids in a plant's chloroplast
Thylakoid
in chloroplasts, one of the stacked, flattened, pigment-containing membranes in which light-dependent reactions occur
Stroma
fluid-filled space outside the grana in which light-dependent reactions take place
Pigments
light-absorbing colored molecules, such as chlorophyll and carotenoid, in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts
Ribosomes
simple cell organelle that helps manufacture proteins
Endoplasmic reticulum
highly folded membrane system in eukaryotic cells that is the site for protein and lipid synthesis
Golgi apparatus
flattened stack of tubular membranes that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins into vesicles and transports them to other organelles or out of the cell
Lysosomes
vesicle that uses enzymes to digest excess or worn-out cellular substances
Vacuole
membrane-bound vesicle for temporary storage of materials such as food, enzymes, and wastes
