Cytoplasm and Organelles

Cytosol

A fluid cytoplasmic material where many organelles are suspended

Cytoplasm

Consists of cell contents between the nucleus and plasma membrane.it is the major site of most activities carried out by the cell.

Lysosomes

Contain acid hydrolases enzymes capable of digesting worn-out cell structures and foregoing substance that enter the cell.

Endoplasmic reticulum

Highly folded system of membranous tubules and cisterns(sacs) that extends throughout the cytoplasm.Continuous with the nuclear envelope forming systems of channels for the transport of cellular substances(primarily proteins) from on part of cell to another

Microfilaments

Important for cell mobility

Microtubules

Organize the cytoskeleton and form the spindle during cell divison.

Intermediate filaments

Proteinaceous Cytoskeletal elements that act as internal guy wires to resist pulling forces acting on cells.

Mitochondria

Provides the cells with bulk of its ATP (powerhouse of the cell)

Ribosomes

Rough spherical bodies composed of RNA and protein.they are the actually sites of protein synthesis

Organelles

Small organs.the metabolic cup machinery of the cell and they are highly organized to carry out the specific functions for the cell as a whole

Golgi Apparatus

Stack of flattened sacs with bulbous ends and associated membranous vesicles that is found close to nucleus.

Cytoskeletal elements

Supports and moved substances within the cell

Peroxisomes

Using oxygen, they detoxify a number of harmful substances,most importantly free radicals

Centrioles

cell structure composed mainly of a protein called tubulin that is found in most eukaryotic cells.

Smooth ER

doesn't participate in protein synthesis but is present in conspicuous amounts in cell that produce steroid-based hormones

Rough ER

studded with ribosomes.stores newly formed proteins and dispatch them to other areas of cell.
