chapter 3 cells Flashcards
Plasma membrane
Forms outer boundary of cell
Cytoplasm
is all the living material inside the cell
Cytoskeleton:
Internal framework of cell. Provides support and movement of cell and organelles
Nucleus–
Central structure of the cell.
As a group, the small structures that make up much of the cytoplasm are called
organelles.
Ribosomes
are tiny particles found throughout the cell.
Manufacture enzymes and other proteins; often called
protein factories
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-
Network of connecting sacs and canalsCarries substances through cytoplasm
Smooth ER synthesizes chemicals;
makes new membrane. Itis found in cells that manufacture fatty substances
Golgi apparatus
Group of flattened sacs near nucleus.
The Golgi apparatus is responsible for
transporting, modifying, and packaging proteins and lipids into vesicles for delivery to targeted destinations Called the chemical processing and packaging center
Mitochondria
Composed of inner and outer membranous sacs. Often called power plants of the cell.
Lysosomes
Membrane-enclosed packets containing digestive enzymes.
lysosomes can help to protect
cells against destruction by microbes.
Centrosome
s a cellular structure involved in the process of cell division.
