Cell Structure

plasma membrane - provides support and protection to cell - controls what goes in and out of cell

nucleus - contains dna

nuclear envelope - double membrane, continuous with endoplasmic reticulum and controls entry in and out of cell

nuclear pores - gaps that allow passage of molecules

nucleoplasm - like cytoplasm for nucleus

chromatin - unwound chromosomes , form dna when cell not dividing

nucleolus - part of the nucleus that makes ribosomes

mitochondria - where aerobic respiration takes place

double membrane - controls what goes in and out of cell

cristae - large surface area for attachment of enzymes for respiration

matrix - contains proteins, lipids, dna and ribosomes

rough endoplasmic reticulum - have ribosomes on outer surface, synthesis of proteins & glycoproteins, large SA, pathway of transport of materials through cells

smooth endoplasmic reticulum - synthesis, stores and transports lipids and carbohydrates

Golgi apparatus - stacks of cisternae, with vesicles - proteins are modified, labelled and transported

lysosome - contains lysozyme and digestive enzymes - isolates lysozyme and hydrolyzes bacteria cell wall

ribosomes - made of ribosomal dna, protein synthesis

cell wall - supports cell and provides support , made of cellulose - microfibrils prevent bursting

chloroplast - site of photosynthesis ,

vacuole - fluid filled sac surrounded by tonoplast , supports plant by making it turgid
