Cell Organelles (Anatomy & Physiology)
transport protein
allows small, polar molecules through
nucleus
control center of the cell; contains DNA
cell membrane
controls what comes in & out of cells; found in plant & animal cells
peroxisomes
detoxify harmful substances
microtubles/microfilaments
fibers for structure & movement
nucleolus
found inside the nucleus; produces ribosomes
cytoplasm
gel-like fluid where organelles are found
ribosomes
has passageways that carry proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to the other
marker protein
have carb. ID tags that identify the type of cell and owner of cell
smooth ER
makes hormones & lipids
mitochondria
produces the energy a cell needs to carry out functions
receptor protein
receive chemical message molecules from other cells
golgi apparatus
receives proteins & materials from the ER, packages them, & distributes them
vesicles
sacs that carry materials through the cell
rough ER
studded with ribosomes; packages proteins
lysosomes
uses chemicals to break down food & worn out cell parts
