ANIMAL CELL PARTS AND FUNCTIONS
Pinocytotic vesicle - The extracellular fluid enters the cell through the pinocytotic
vesicles.
Lysosome - Lysosomes serve as the cell's digestive system, breaking down material
taken in from the outside and breaking down unused parts of the cell.
Golgi Vesicles - Golgi vesicles are frequently described as the cell's "traffic police."
They are essential for classifying and directing many of the proteins and membrane
components of the cell to their correct locations.
Rough ER (endoplasmic reticulum) - In general, the endoplasmic reticulum's job is to
produce proteins so that the rest of the cell can function. It can be smooth or rough.
Ribosomes, which are tiny, elongated organelles with a round shape, are found on
the rough endoplasmic reticulum and are responsible for producing those proteins.
Smooth ER (no ribosomes) - Numerous metabolic processes involve the smooth
endoplasmic reticulum. It produces steroids, phospholipids like those found in
plasma membranes, and lipids. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is overproduced in
cells that secrete these substances, such as cells in the testes, ovaries, and skin oil
glands.
Cell (plasma) Membrane - A cell is protected by its cell membrane, also known as
the plasma membrane. Additionally, it offers a stable environment inside the cell.
And that membrane serves a variety of purposes. One is to move substances out of
the cell that are toxic as well as nutrients into the cell.
Ribosome - a ribosome works as a tiny device that produces proteins. special
proteins and nucleic acids make up ribosomes. the process of making proteins is
centered on the translation of knowledge and the linking of amino acids.
Cytoplasm - The gel-like substance that fills a cell is called cytoplasm. It serves as a
catalyst for chemical reactions. It offers a foundation for other organelles to function
within the cell. A cell's cytoplasm is where all of the processes for cell division,
growth, and replication take place.
Microtubules - Microtubules serve a variety of purposes. For instance, they are
crucial parts of cilia and flagella and provide the organized, rigid components of the
cytoskeleton that give shape to many cells (cellular locomotory projections). During
cell division, they take part in the formation of the spindle (mitosis).
Centrioles - Animal cells' cytoplasm contains a pair of barrel-shaped organelles
called centrioles that are close to the nuclear envelope. The skeletal framework of
the cell, the microtubules, are organized by centrioles. They aid in pinpointing
where the cell's nucleus and other organelles are located.

Nucleus - The largest organelle in animal cells is the nucleus. Cell activity is
controlled by the nucleus. It also includes the chromosomes of the cell. The genetic
material (DNA) that makes you who you are is contained in the chromosomes.
Nucleolus - The nucleolus' main job is to facilitate ribosome biogenesis by
assembling and processing rRNA into pre-ribosomal particles.
Golgi Apparatus - Proteins received from the ER are further processed and sorted in
the Golgi apparatus, or Golgi complex, where they are eventually transported to
lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion.
Mitochondrion - The majority of the chemical energy required to drive a cell's
biochemical reactions is produced by mitochondria, which are membrane-bound
cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular). Adenosine triphosphate, a small
molecule, serves as a storage container for the chemical energy generated by the
mitochondria (ATP).
