Chapter 8-- Parts of a cell

AB
CentriolesBarrel-shaped structures that occur in a pair near the nucleus. *used in division of animal cells
ChloroplastsTransform light energy from the sun into chemical energy such as starch and sugar through photosynthesis. *found in plants and protists
MitochondriaBreakdown food molecules like glucose to release energy used to power cell activity *rod-shaped with an inner and outer membrane and cristae
VacuolesSpaces used for temporary storage of water, waste, food and other materials needed by the cell *very large in plant cells
CytoplasmClear, gel-like fluid within the cell where many important chemical reactions responsible for cell metabolism take place
NucleolusDense area inside the nucleus that produce the sub-units that make up a robosome
LysosomesContain digestive enzymes that breakdown worn out cell parts, macromolecules and invading viruses and bacteria
Golgi ApparatusSeries of stacked, flattened sacs found in the cytoplasm *recieve newly made lipids and proteins and pass them out to the rest of the cells
ChromatinFound inside the nuclear membrane *set of instructions the robosome uses for building protein
CytoskeletonMade of microfilaments and microtubules that act as a scaffold to provide the cell with support, 3-D structure and are important in the cell movement
Cell WallFirm structure made of cellulose and pectin that gives the plant and fungi cells support and protection
RibosomeSite of protein assembly *Sondensation of amino acids *smallest and most numerous af all cell organelles
Endoplasmic ReticulumFolded membranes forming canals in the cytoplasm *function as the cells delivery system
Plasma MembraneBoundary between the cell and its external enviornment *regulates what enters and leaves the cell
