Cells are made up with multiple organelles, such as the nucleus, mitochondrion, and lysosomes.
-
Organelle = little organ
Found only in eukaryotic cells, and surrounding it is cytosol. Everything in a cell is cytoplasm, except the nucleus. -
Contains majority of the DNA, control center of the cell and surrounded by a semipermeable nuclear membrane.
-
Helps move substances within cell, two types (rough and smooth), rough ER has ribosomes on its outer membrane, and smooth ER has lipid production.
-
Takes big molecules and packages them into vesicles, either stores them for later or sends them out of the cell.
-
The protein builders or the protein synthesizers of the cell, connects one amino acid at a time to build long chains.
-
Powerhouse of the cell, produces energy for the whole cell, and has its own DNA.
-
Small set of microtubules arranged in a specific way, nine groups of microtubules, and has spindle fibers radiate our from centrioles during cell division.
-
It is a component of the cytoskeleton, and plays a role in cell movement (cilia and flagella and chromosomes movement).
-
Vesicles floating in cytoplasm, contains digestive enzymes, used to digest food, removed dead organelles and breakdown dead cells, and functions as garbage disposal
-
Plant cells are very similar to animal cells, however there are some key differences. These differences includes a larger vacuole, chloroplasts, and a cell wall. Vacuoles stores food and nutrients, chloroplasts is what makes photosynthesis a thing, and a cell wall protects the insides of a plant cell.
