cytosol
intracellular fluid
water with many dissolved substances such as proteins and ions
suspends organelles

cytoplasm
cytosol + organelles - nucleus

plasma membrane
semi-permeable barrier of the cell made of phospholipids controls movement of substances moving in and out of the cell
cell wall
permeable structure that protects and supports cell shape and structure
allows cell to become turgid
found in bacteria + plant cells

cilia and flagella
involved in the movement of the cell

nucleus
control center of the cell / contains genetic material / DNA of the cell, controls the functions of the cell
enclosed in nuclear envelope (double membrane)
pores allow mRNA to leave

nucleolus
responsible for producing and assembling ribosomes

ribosomes
NOT enclosed within a membrane, made of protein and rRNA
assembles animo acids into proteins

rough endoplasmic reticulum
synthesises proteins that are destined for export by the cell

smooth endoplasmic reticulum
produces lipids

golgi apparatus
sorts, modifies and packages proteins and lipids for export out of cells, creates vesicles for exocytosis

vesicle
transport proteins around the cell / to the outside of the cell
lysosomes
found in animal cells
digests and removes waste in cells

mitochondria
site of aerobic respiration and energy (ATP) production

chloroplast
site of photosynthesis
traps sunlight to make glucose

vacuole
stores water and wastes
provides turgidity / structural support in plant cells

cytoskeleton
intricate network of protein filaments
structural support, maintains shape
