Cells
Organelles
Plasma Membrane
- A phospholipid bilayer that separates internal content of the cell from the surrounding area
- Regulates passage of substances to come in and out of the cell
Cytoplasm
- A gel-like substance that fills up the empty space within the cell
Ribosomes
- A cellular structure that is responsible for synthesizing proteins
- Practically found in every cell
-
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Synthesis of carbohydrates and lipids (including phospholipids), and steroid hormones
- Detoxication of medication, poison and alcohol
- Storages calcium ions
- Has few or no ribosomes attach to its surface
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Produces proteins and membranes
- Lots of ribosomes attach to its surface
Golgi Apparatus
- Sorting, tagging, packaging and disturbing lipids or proteins
- In plants cells, it also synthesis polysaccharide which can be incorporated with the cell wall or other organelles
Lysosome
- "Garbage Disposal"
- digestive enzymes that aid the breakdown of proteins, etc.
- Hydrolytic enzymes that destroys disease-causing organism (ex: white blood cell)
Mitochondria
- Often referred as the "powerhouse" or "energy factory"
- Responsible for making ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
Cytoskeleton
- A network of protein fibers that help maintain the shape of the cell
- Secure certain positions for organelles
- Allows cytoplasm and vesicles to move within the cell
- 3 types of fibers: microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules
Cell Wall
- Maintain cell's shape
- Ridged covering that protects the cell
Central Vacuole
- Membrane bound sac that function as a storage and transport
Chloroplast
- Site of photosynthesis
- Used to make glucose and oxygen
-
-
Eukaryotic
What is a Eukaryote?
- A cell that has a cell membrane bound nucleus and having other cell membrane bound organelle
-
