Vergel 8-HookeNucleus j
- Large Oval body near the centre of the cell.
- The control centre for all activity. jjjjjjjjjjjjnded by a nuclear membrane.
Nucleus Directs all cell activities "Brain or Control Center of cell"
Nuclear Envelope (Membrane) Controls what passes in and out of the nucleus
Cytoplasm
Jelly-like substance found inside cell that acts as a medium
for chemical reactions within the cell
Golgi Body (Apparatus)
Packages the proteins made by the ribosomes so they can be
sent out of the cell. The UPS store of the cell
Mitochondrion
"powerhouse of the cell" breaks down sugar molecules to
release energy, site of cellular respiration, double membrane,
self-replicating, contains own DNA, cristae
Vacuole "Storage tanks" Can hold food, water or waste for the cell
Ribosome
Makes proteins for the cell, can be found attached to the
endoplasmic reticulum or free in the cytoplasm
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Transportation network for the cell, moves materials around
in the cell
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)- endoplasmic reticulum
that has ribosomes attached.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)- does not have
ribosomes attached
Lysosome
"Stomach of the cell" Helps the cell digest food, waste and
worn out cell parts
Nucleolus Produces ribosomes and rRNA( stuff ribosomes are made of)
Cell Membrane (plasma membrane)
"Gatekeeper" Separates the cell from the rest of the
environment and helps control what passes in and out of the
cell. Semi-permeable: allows some materials to pass through
but not all
Chloroplast
A special plastid that contains chlorophyll a pigment that
captures the sun's energy to produce glucose in a process
called photosynthesis
Cell Wall
Rigid outer layer made of cellulose that supports and
protects the cell (plant, fungi, and bacterial cells)
Vesicle
Stores and Transports substances from the Golgi Body to the
cell membrane for export. "The UPS truck of the cell"
Cytoskeleton gives support and shape to the cell, made of proteins
Centriole
Organizes special parts of the cytoskeleton called
microtubules for cell division, migrates to opposite ends
(poles) of the cell to assist with cell division
