Chloroplasts are specialized organelles
found in plant and algal cells, crucial for
(Module 7: The cell) photosynthesis
Chloroplast
(Module 7: The cell) Cilia Cilia are hair-like appendages extending
from eukaryotic cells, playing crucial
roles in both cell movement and sensory
reception
(Module 7: The cell) cytoplasm refers to the gel-like
Cytoplasm substance within a cell, excluding the
nucleus, that contains all of the cell's
components except the nucleus
(Module 7: The cell) The cytoskeleton is a network of protein
Cytoskeleton filaments that provides structure and
shape to cells, acting as the cell's
"skeleton". It's essential for maintaining
cell shape, structure and support
, a network of interconnected
membranes inside eukaryotic cells. It
plays a crucial role in protein and lipid
synthesis, calcium storage, and
detoxification
(Module 7: The cell)
-Rough ER (with ribosomes)
Endoplasmic reticulum
protein synthesis - Smooth ER
(ER)
(without ribosomes) lipid
synthesis
(Module 7: The cell) Cell the cell membrane, also known as the
membrane plasma membrane, is a thin, flexible
barrier that surrounds all cells,
separating their internal contents from
the external environment
The cell membrane is primarily
composed of a double layer of lipid
molecules, called a lipid bilayer.
These lipids have a hydrophilic
(water-attracting) head and
hydrophobic (waterrepelling) tails,
which naturally arrange themselves
into two layers with the tails facing
inward and the heads facing
outward
-Present in all cells (prokaryotic and
eukaryotic).
