provides a selective barrier that regulates transport
Semi-permable
of substances into and out of the cell.
Clear liquid enclosed in the cell
Cytoplasm "Cytosol"
Includes: Vacuoles & Vesicle
Big "vesicle"
Store water & waste
Vacuole
Storage sacs
Helps regulate the amount of liquid in the cell
Small membrane sac
Storage & transport
Vesicles
Carrying protein & some material
Store various neurotransmitters
Largest, densest organelle
Production of:
DNA: cell's genetic information
Nucleus RNA: carries info from the DNA to sites of actual
protein synthesis in the cytoplasm
"Present in all cells except mature RBC and blood
platelets"
Contained in Nucleus
Nucleolus Nuclear body that assembles ribosomes
Produces rRNA & nucleotides
-Contains chromosomes
-Looks like diffuse stippling when cell is viewed at
Chromatin lower-power microscopically
-complex of DNA & protein
-function is packaging very long DNA
Nucleoplasm Fluid portion that contains important proteins
Nuclear envelope Doubled layered membrane
small holes in the nuclear envelope
Nuclear pores Allow transport of Rna & ribosomal proteins moving
from nucleus to cytoplasm
"Highway system"
Endoplasmic Reticulum Rough ER & Smooth ER
Contains ribosomes

"Protein Factories"
Ribosomes Composed of protein and RNA which synthesize
protein
"Processing & packaging center"
Golgi apparatus Fxn: sorts, condense, packages & delivers proteins
from RER
"Powerhouse of the cell"
Mitochondria Release energy from food molecules & transform
energy into ATP ( adenosine triphosphate)
"Sewer system"
Destroys worn cell parts
Lysosomes Produced by golgi apparatus
Contains hydrolytic & digestive enzymes capable of
digesting substance that enter cells
Give basic stability to the cell as a whole,
functioning like reinforced girders
Cytoskeleton Also compartmentalizes( sorts out) the cytoplasm,
creating preferred "freeways" for the movement of
molecules formed by cellular processes
Cell motility
Microfilaments Delicate, threadlike
Specialized protein, arranged in meshwork bundles
Thick & stiff hollow tubes that make up the cilia,
flagella, centrioles and spindle fibers.
Microtubules
Form cell's internal skeleton
Maintain the shape of the cell
Various type of thicker,threadlike .
intermediate filaments
Involved with intercellular junction & mitosis
Metabolically inert substances that are transient
over time in the cell.
Inclusions Consist of cellular products that remain in a cell only
temporarily.
*store lipids & melanin
Intercellular Junctions The connections between one cell and the other
