• located around the cell •controls movement of materials •protective barrier that allows certain substances to pass |
|
Cytoplasm |
• surrounds organelles • contains nutrients by the cell to carry its life process • nutrients to be absorbed transported and protected |
|
nucleus |
• Center of the cell •surrounded by a nuclear envelope • control center organelle of the cell • controls activities in the cell • nickname is the control center |
|
Nucleolus |
• small dense area located in most nuclei •center of nucleus • involved in making of ribosomes. |
|
Mitochondria |
• located around the cell •converts chemical energy from from glucose sugar into cellular energy • cell source of energy •powerhouse of the cell |
|
Endoplasmic reticulum |
• Surrounding the nucleus • a series of canals called rough endoplasmic • small balloons that carry materials • transport materials throughout the cell • nickname transport canals |
|
Ribosomes |
• covering endoplasmic reticulum and nuclei • builds protein essential for the cell |
|
Golgi apparatus |
• located throughout cytoplasm • receives proteins from endoplasmic reticulum • stores packages releases proteins inside and outside the cell |
|
Lysosomes |
• floating around the cell formed near the golgi apparatus • digestion takes place • are filled with enzymes to break down bacteria • clean up system |
|
Vacuole |
• floating in the cell • saclike • filled with water, sugar, minerals and proteins • nickname is the storage unit |
|
Vacuole for plant cell |
• in a plant cell it is much larger • takes up the majority of cytoplasm • when full it pushes against the cell membrane and wall to keep the cell turgid • when empty becomes flaccid |
