|
Cell membrane |
the outer covering of the cell consisting of a lipid bi layer with proteins embedded in it |
|
|
Nucleus |
the control center of the cell |
|
|
cytoplasm |
it is the jelly-like in a cell that contains the cytosol, organelles, and inclusions, but not including the nucleus |
|
|
Vacuole |
a membrane-bound vesicle found in the cytoplasm of a cell whose function includes interacellualar secretion,excretion, storage, and digestion |
|
|
Lysosome |
Organelles containing a large range of digestive enzymes used primarily for digestion and removal of excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria |
|
|
Ribosome |
a molecule consisting of two subunits that fit together and work as one to build proteins according to the genetic sequences held within the messenger RNA (mRNA) |
|
|
Rough endoplasmic reticulum |
Has ribosomeynthesis an secretion |
|
|
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum |
Does not have ribosomes on its surface it is involved in intracellular transport such as the transport of the products of the RER to other cell parts like Golgi |
|
|
Golgi apparatus |
involved in carbohydrates to proteins, packaging of molecules like proteins into vesiclces for secretion transport of lipids around the cell and the creation of lysomes |
|
|
Chloroplast |
Green;site for photosynthesis |
|
|
Mitochondrion |
Powerhouse of the cell since they act as the site for the production of high-energy compounds (e.g. ATP), which are vital energy source for several cellular processes. |
|
|
Cell wall |
A membrane of the cell that forms external to the cell membrane whose main role is to gibe cells rigidity, strength and protection against mechanical stress. it is found in cells of plants, bacteria, archaea, fungi, and algae. animals and most protists do not have cell walls |
