Module 1: Organelles and their functions

AB
Plasma MembraneThe boundary of the cell. Holds the cell together and controls entry and exit of substances. It has many receptors on it, allowing it to determine what substances are transported into the cell and what substances are allowed out of the cell.
NucleolusWrapped in a nuclear membrane called the nuclear envelope.
Nuclear EnvelopeThe nuclear membrane that wraps the nucleus.
RibosomeThe tiny kitchens within the cell. Proteins are synthesized here.
Intermediate FilamentResponsible for strengthening and supporting the cells.
LysosomeA kind of vesicle. It's main function is to break down lipids, proteins, polysaccharides, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
Smooth Endoplasmic ReticulumA series of tubes that are used in intracellular transport as well as in the reproduction of lipids and carbohydrates.
MicrotubuleSpiral strands of proteins that form a rope-like structure.
CentriolesFound in the Centrosome.
CiliaTiny hairs fromed from an intricate arrangement of microtubules.
MicrofilmanetsEnable certain cells to contract.
MitochondriaThe major site of ATP synthesis in the cell.
Golgi ApparatusThe cell's packaging plants. They take varius chemicals and package them for many purposes, especially secretion.
Secretory VesicleA tiny membrane-bound sac. It pinches off the Golgi apparatus and travels through the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane, where it's contents can be released outside the cell.
