- NUCLEUS
- controls all cell activity.
- PLASMA MEMBRANE
- Regulates what enters or leaves the cell
- MITOCHONDRIA
- These are the sites where cellular respiration occurs
- GOLGI
- These modify store and route proteins and other chemical products to their next destination.
- SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
- Has built in enzymes and in some cells produces steroids and in other cells regulates calcium levels or builds lipid molecules
- ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM-
- Ribosomes are attached to this and provide a surface along which the process of protein assembly can occur. The proteins are then exported or secreted.
- NUCLEOLUS-
- Manufactures ribosomes and contains the parts
- RIBOSOMES-
- Structures in which proteins are assembled using DNA as instructions
- CYTOSKELETON-
- Maintains the cell’s shape and can be used to move the cell membrane.
- LARGE CENTRAL VACUOLE-
- Stores chemicals such as salts and contributes to plant growth by absorbing water and causing cells to expand.
- LYSOSOMES-
- Membrane bound sac containing digestive enzymes that can break down proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides.
- CHROMOSOMES-
- Condensed threads of genetic material formed from chromatin as a cell prepares to divide. FOUND IN THE NUCLEUS
- CELL WALL
- Supports and protects the cell
- CHLOROPLASTS
- An organelle found in some plant cells and certain unicellular organisms where photosynthesis takes place. This is turning one form of energy into another.
- CYTOPLASM-activity.
- This is everything between the cell membrane and nucleus. This is the site of the most cell
- CYTOPLASM
-
This is everything between the cell membrane and nucleus. This is the site of the most cell activity.
