animal cell structure and function

vacuole

Moves materials around the cell, storage for cell, membrane sac

Lysome

Digests food, clean up and recycle, digest broken organelles

Ribosomes

Makes proteins, builds proteins from DNA

Golgi apparatus

Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins. Ships proteins in vesicles

Cytoplasm

Jelly like material holding organelles in place. (Mostly made of water)

Nucleus

Control center of the cell. Protects and stores DNA or genetic information

Nucleolus

Produces the ribosomes/ stores DNA

Nuclear membrane

Protects the nucleus

Cell membrane

Cell boundary, controls movement of materials in and out of the cell. (Proteins), recognizes symbols

Mitochondria

Makes ATP energy from cellular respiration. “Powerhouse”

Smooth ER

Transports ribosomes. Produces lipids and carbohydrates. (The one that has the ribosomes all over it in the picture)

Rough ER

Makes/modifies proteins

Centricoles

Replicates, reproduces. Cell division

Microtubules

Gives the cell its structure

Cell wall

provides protection and support to stricter

Desmosome

Hold cells together, strengthen tissues, and prevent cells from falling apart

Collagen fibers

main role is to provide structure, strength and support throughout your body.Helping fibroblasts form in your dermis(middle skin layer), which helps new cells grow.

Fibroblasts

Produce extracellular matrix and collagen

Peroxisome

Organelles that can accumulate and degrade peroxides

Microvilli

Tiny finger like structure. Increases the cells surface area, allowing it to absorb more substances efficiently

Secretion vesicle

Small sacs in a cell that store and transport substances to be released. Carry substances such as hormones, enzymes, and mucus

Micropilcae

Tiny folds/ridges on the surface of an animal cell. Help increase the surface area of a cell.

Cytoskeleton

Subdivided into 3 categories(microtubules, actin filaments, and intermediate filaments) contributes to movement inside cell
