Cell History and Organelle Review

reviews Cell History and function of each cell part


AB
cell membraneprotects the cell and conrols what materials enter and leave the cell
nuclear membraneseparates the nucleus from the cytoplasm
nucleoluscontains chemicals which tell the ribosomes what proteins to make
chromatinlong strands of DNA which control cell activities
nucleusnuclear membrane, nucleolus and chromatin
cytoplasmcell fluid which contains dissolved food, wastes and cell products
mitochondriarelease energy from glucose in a chemical reaction called cellular respiration
Golgi complexpackage and exports cell products
endoplasmic reticulumpassageways inside the cell; makes lipids and breaks down drugs
ribosomeassembles chains of amino acids to make proteins
vacuolestorage sacs of water, food or waste

Schwann1839; all animals made of cells
Virchow; 1858all cells come from other cells
Brown; 1831noticed that all cells have a nucleus
