tour of cell organelles plants and animal cells

Flagellum

Motility structure in some animal cells, composed of a cluster of microtones within an extension of the plasma membrane

Centrosome

Region where the cell’s microbes are initiated; contains a pair of centrioles

Cytoskeleton

Reinforces the cell shape functions in movement; components made of protein includes : micro filaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules

Microvilli

Projections that increase the cell’s surface area

Peroxisome

Organelle with various specialized metabolic functions; produces hydrogen peroxide as a by product and then converts it to water

Mitochondrion

Organelle where Delilah respiration occurs and where most ATP is generated

Endoplasmic reticulum

Network of membranous sacs and tubes; active in membrane synthesis and other synthetic and metabolic processes; has rough and smooth regions

Nuclear envelope

Double membrane that covers the nucleus; perforated with pores; continuous with ER

Nucleolus

Nonmetals structure involved in production of ribosomes; one nucleus has one or more nucleoli

Chromatin

Material consisting of DNA and proteins; visible in a dividing cell as individual condensed chromosomes

Plasma membrane

Membrane enclosing the cell

Ribosomes

Complexes that make proteins; free inside of salt or bound to rough ER or nuclear envelope

Golgi apparatus

Organelle, active and synthesis, modification, sorting, and secretion of cell products

Lysosome

Digestive organelle where macromolecules or hydrolyzed

Plasmodesmata

Cytoplasmic channels through cell walls that connect the cytoplasm of adjacent cells

What does cytoskeleton have

Microfilaments and microtubules

Cell wall

Outer layer that maintains cells shape and protect cell from mechanical damage; made of cellulose, other polysaccharides, and proteins

Chloroplast

Photosynthetic organelle; converts energy of sunlight to chemical energy stored in sugar molecules

Central vacuole

Prominent organelle in older plants; functions include storage, breakdown of waste, products, and hydrolysis of macromolecules; enlargement of the Vacula, a major mechanism of plant growth

What does the nucleus contain

Nuclear envelope, nucleolus; and chromatin
