Cytoskeleton
|
Location:
Cytoplasm Function: Maintains cell shape, facilitates cell movement and movement of materials within a cell. |
|
Cytosol
|
Location:
Cytoplasm. Function: Protein-rich fluid in which organelles and cytoskeleton are immersed. |
|
Golgi Complex
|
Location:
Cytoplasm. Function: Processing,sorting, packaging,transporting of proteins and other cell products. |
|
Lysosomes (animal cells only)
|
Location:
Cytoplasm. Function: Digestion of imported materials and cell's own used materials. Sometimes called "suicide sacks". Membrane-enclosed circular structure. Responsible for Hydrolysis. Autophagy "self-eating". |
|
Mitochondria
|
Location:
Cytoplasm. Function: Transform energy from food. Has a double membrane. Site of ATP synthesis. Capable of self-replicating. Has DNA and ribosomes. Enzymes and other material needed are located in Matrix solution. Could have evolved through symbiosis |
|
Nucleolus
|
Location:
Nucleus. Function: Synthesis of ribosomal RNA. Formation of ribosomes. |
|
Nucleus
|
Location:
Inside nuclear envelope. Function: Site of most of the cell's DNA. |
|
Ribosomes
|
Location:
Rough ER, free-standing in Cytoplasm. Sites of protein synthesis. Not an organelle. Has no membrane. Made of RNA. "workbench". |
|
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
|
Location:
Cytoplasm. Function: Protein processing. Responsible for intracellular transport. Connected to the cell membrane. Proteins made are exported. Composed of interconnected flattened tubes. "Assembly Line" |
|
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
|
Location:
Cytoplasm. Function: Lipid synthesis, storage; detoxification of harmful substances. |
