Function of Cell Structure/Organelle
outer part of the cell which protects internal parts of the cell and
regulates what enters and leaves the cell (THE GATEKEEPER)
a jelly-like substance which holds the organelles in place, allows
substances to move from one place to another, and located outside the
nucleus
the control center of the cell which contains the DNA (THE CONTROL
CENTER)
covers the nucleus and is composed of a double layer of lipids and
proteins
area within the nucleus where the ribosomes are made (little nucleus)
tiny organelles which generate energy from organic compounds to ATP
(THE POWERHOUSE)
the primary site for protein synthesis (making) in the cell; found in the
RER near the nucleus and free-floating in the cytoplasm
extends from the nucleus and is covered with ribosomes; responsible for
helping with the synthesis, packaging, and transporting of proteins in
within the cell
has no ribosomes; acts as a storage area for protein that will later be
exported out of the cell and where lipids and ions can be stored for later
use
looks like flattened sacs located in the cytoplasm; responsible for
further sorting of, packaging of, and delivery of proteins and lipids
throughout the cell; put products into vesicles for transport out of the
cell
membrane-enclosed vesicles that form in the Golgi apparatus; contain
enzymes which digest and destroy large molecules, help white blood
cells destroy viruses and bacteria, or help to recycle old or damaged
organelles
internal framework of the cytoplasm that allows the cell to keep its
shape, support organelles, and provide a means for intracellular
transport of substances
paired (two) organelles located close to the nucleus that allow the cell to
divide by creating the mitotic spindle
Short hair-like structures which extend from cell’s surface; they allow
for movement (locomotion) Paramecium
Long, whip-like structures which extend from a cell’s surface; it
allows for movement (locomotion) Human Sperm
an extra layer surrounding the cell membrane in a plant cell which
allows the cell to retain its shape and provides support
organelle which allows plant to capture sunlight in order to perform
photosynthesis
a large, fluid-filled organelle that stores water, enzymes, metabolic
wastes, and other materials
