Cell Membrane

Pores of the membrane allow materials in and out of the cell; a double layer of lipid bilayer (phospholipids); heads of bilayer are
hydrophilic (water loving); tails of bilayer are hydrophobic (water fearing)

Cytoplasm
Liquid that carries organelles; the cytosol and the organelles in the cytosol
Vacuole

Membrane bound sac; holds nutrients, water, and waste; plant cells have one large vacuole; animal cells have many small
vacuoles; help increase cell size during growth

Mitochondrion (plural mitochondria)

Power center of the cell; membrane bound organelles; have a double membrane

Golgi Complex
Package macromolecules for transport to other places in cell; has one membrane; membrane bound structure

Lysosome
Digest food particles, waste, and foreign invaders; common in animal cells; important in intracellular digestion

Nucleus
Power center of the cell; enclosed in double membrane; communicates with cytosol via nuclear pores

Nuclear Membrane
Double membrane that surrounds nucleus
Chromosomes (DNA, Genes)
DNA determines the unique characteristics of a cell; DNA is in the nucleus

Nucleolus
produces ribosomes; nucleolus is the prominent structure in the nucleus

Cytosol
where most of cellular metabolism occurs; mostly water; full of proteins that control cell metabolism; all other cell organelles
reside in cytosol
Centrosome
area in cell where microtubles are produced

Centriole
Only animal cells have centrioles; ring of nine groups of fused microtubles; three microtubles in each group; part of the
cytoskeleton

Peroxisome
protect the cell from its own production of toxic hydrogen peroxide

Secretory Vesicle
cell secretions are packaged here; then secretory vesicles are transported to cell surface for release

Cell Wall
Protects cell and gives them their shape; only plant cells have cell walls; made up of polysaccharides

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

plays different functions depending on specific cell type including: lipid and steroid hormone synthesis, breakdown of lipid-soluble
toxins in liver cell, and control of calcium release in muscle cell contraction

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

has ribosomes on its surface; proteins synthesized on the ribosomes collect in the ER for transport throughout the cell

Ribosomes
Assist in the development of amino acids; packets of RNA and proteins that play crucial role in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells;
site of protein synthesis; has two parts:large subunit, and small subunit

Cytoskeleton
helps maintain cell shape; internal movement of cell organelles, cell locomotion, and muscle fiber contraction couldn't happen
without cytoskeleton; organized network of microtubles, actin filaments, and intermediate fibers

Chloroplast
Only plant cells have chloroplasts; where chlorophyll are found; make food; have double outer membrane

Chlorophyll Makes plants green Organelles Tiny organs;

A unicellular organism, also known as
a single-celled organism, is an organism
that consists of only one cell, unlike
a multicellular organism that consists of
more than one cell. ... In contrast, even
the simplest multicellular organisms
have cells that depend on each other to
survive.
