Cell Organelles and Function with Labels
Eukaryote cell
Has nucleus, many organelles. examples are: animals and plants; larger than Prokaryote cells
Nucleolus
The organelle where ribosomes are made, synthesized and partially assembled, located in the nucleus
Smooth ER
The site of lipid synthesis and responsible for breaking down toxic substances. (no ribosomes)
Endoplasmic reticulum
a cell structure that transports proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another.
Cytoplasm
a jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are allowed to move around freely
Chromosome
a structure in the nucleus that contains hereditary material
Chloroplast
a structure of plant cells that captures energy from sunlight and uses it to produce food; site of photosynthesis
Organelle
a tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell
Vacuole
an organelle that stores food, water, and other materials needed by the cell; plant- large; animal- many small;
Cell
basic unit of all living things
Mitochondrion
bean shaped organelle that breaks down stored food molecules and then "burns energy" by cellular respiration
Cell membrane
controls what enters and exits the cell; helps hold the cytoplasm and organelles in the cell
Prokaryote cell
lacking a membrane-bounded nucleus and organelles; the cell type also known as bacteria; smaller than Eukaryote cell
Flagella
long, whiplike structures that aid in locomotion and feeding and are less numerous than cilia; present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes
Nucleus
organelle that controls all the activities of a cell and contains chromosomes; site where mitosis occurs (cell reproduction)
Cilia
short, hair-like structures that enable movement of cells or aid in the movement of other materials; present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes
Cell wall
strong wall outside a plant cell's cell membrane that protects the cell and maintains its shape; also present in some bacteria
Ribosome
an organelle that is resposible for protein synthesis; Ribosomes together with RNA- make the proteins
Golgi body
receives proteins; sorts, modifies, packages, and distributes them to other parts of the cell or exit the cell.
Rough ER
A network of interconnected membranous sacs covered with ribosomes that make membrane proteins and secrete proteins.
Pili
short projections that help attach prokaryotes to surfaces for reproduction
