MitochondriaSausage-shaped membranous organelles that are the power plants of the cell, producing most of its ATP.
RibosomesSmall staining granules consisting of protein and ribosomal RNA that are the site of protein synthesis.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER)ribosomes that manufacture all proteins that are secreted from cells.
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER)A continuation of rough ER, consisting of a looping network of tubules. Its enzymes catalyze reactions involved in several processes.
Golgi apparatusAttaches sugars to proteins & lipids to synthesis glycoproteins & glycolipids. Produces lysosomes.
Lysosomesspherical membranous organelles that digest food molecules & bacteria & old damaged organelles. (cleans up the cell)
plasma membraneThe outer boundery of the cell. regulating how substances pass into and out of the cell
Integral proteinsPenitrates the bilayer
Phospholipid bilayercomposed of two layers of phospholipids lying tail to tail, with their polar heads exposed to water inside and outside the cell. Controls the entry and exit of molecules
Osmosisthe diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
Diffusiona process in which substances move directly through the plasma membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
Filtrationa pressure-driven process that forces water and solutes through a membrane or capillary wall
Peripheral proteinsonly on one side
glycocalyxthe fuzzy, sticky, carbohydrate-rich area surrounding the cell.
cytoskeletonProvides support to the cell. Is found inside the flagella, celia
Peroxisomesmembranous sacs containing enzymes, such as oxidases and catalases, which are used to detoxify harmful substances such as alcohol, formaldehyde, and free radicals.
Centrioles2 barrel shapes stacked on top of each other at a right angle. Help in forming the mitotic spindle during cell division.
CiliaHairlike cellular extensions on the exposed surfaces of some cells.
Flagellalong cellular projections that move the cell through the environment.
Nucleusthe control center of the cell and contains the cellular DNA
nuclear envelopea double-membrane barrier surrounding the nucleus (outer membrane)
Nucleoliare dark-staining spherical bodies within the nucleus. are the sites of assembly of ribosomal subunits, and are large in actively growing cells.
Chromatinis roughly half DNA, the genetic material of the cell, and half histone proteins. Condences when cells are dividing to form chromosomes
