Break down food, cell waste and worn out cell parts
Pebbled with ribosomes; transport molecules to other parts of cell
Controls movement of substances (water and Ca, Na, K, Cl) in and out of cell
Create and store large molecules (eg steroids, ions)
In animal cell –storage of water and waste products (small role)
In plant cells – store water and provides rigidity (turgor pressure)
Only in animal cells; create spindle fibers for use during cell division
Water and chemical ‘soup’ inside cell membrane that contains all organelles of the cell
Nucleus
Nucleolus
Cytosol – Cytoplasm
Centrosome – centriole
Golgi apparatus
Lysosome
Cell membrane
Mitochondrion
Vacuole
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Ribosomes
Cytoskeleton
