Cell organelles - Coggle Diagram
Cell organelles
Vesicles & vacuoles
vacuoles sometimes present in animal cells
unicellular organisms have contractile vacuoles for expelling water
vacuoles in plant cells are large for storing water and food
vesicles are small lipid sacs used for transport
Mitochondrion
The "power house" of the cell
Has a smooth outer membrane and a folded inner membrane
Where aerobic respiration occurs
Chloroplast
it is where photosynthesis happens
present in plant cells and eukaryotic algae
contain thylakoids
Centrioles and Microtubules
Centrioles are cylindrical structures that are made up of protein tubes called microtubules.
Centrioles play a role in organizing microtubules that serve as the cell's skeletal system
Nine groups of three microtubules, known as triplet microtubules, are linked together to make the walls of the cylinder.
Nucleus
contains DNA
largest organelle in the cell
has a double layer membrane
Golgi apparatus
Is a flattened stack of membranes
Responsable for packaging and delivery of proteins
Endoplasmic reticulum
Produces proteins for the rest of the cell to function
A collection of tubes that make, package, and transport proteins and fats.
Ribosomes
Cellular particle made of RNA and protein
The site for protein synthesis in the cell
Lysosomes
simple, membrane-bound
contains enzymes which digest bacteria and viruses
