Support
L microscope
Cell membrane
Structure
Function
Visibility
Phospholipids= lipids + proteins
Protect cell from surrounding
L microscope
Nucleus
Structure
Function
Visibility
Genetic material
Contains cells genetic material (DNA)
L microscope
Nucleolus
Structure
Function
Visibility
Proteins + ribonucleico acids
Create ribosomes
E microscope
Nuclear membrane
Structure
Function
Visibility
Double lipid bilayer
Surrounds every nucleus, contains inner membrane
L microscope
Cytoplasm + cytosol
Structure
Function
Visibility
Mixture of cytoskeleton filaments, dissolved molecules + water
Fluid feels up a cell, helps in many cell processes
L microscope
Ribosomes
Structure
Function
Visibility
Protein + RNA
make proteins
E microscope
Golgi Apparatus
Structure
Function
Visibility
Stacks flattened membranous sacs
Transports lipids, modifies, sorts + packs proteins for secretion
E microscope
Mitochondria
Structure
Function
Visibility
double membrane, with an inner folded membrane (cristae)
Produce energy currency in cells
L microscope
Chloroplast
Structure
Function
Visibility
2 membranes
Absorb sunlight, use it in conjunction with H2O + CO2 = food for plant
L microscope
Centrioles
Structure
Function
Visibility
Micro tubes arranged in a specific way
Help with cell division in animals cells
E microscope
Chromosome
Structure
Function
Visibility
DNA + proteins ( histones)
Protect DNA from being damaged during cell division
E microscope
Vacuoles
Structure
Function
Visibility
Membrane bound sacs in cytoplasm
Storage structure in a cell holds waste, food
L microscope
Endoplasmic reticulum rough
Structure
Function
Visibility
Ribosomes are attached
Responsible for the assembly of proteins
E microscope
Endoplasmic reticulum smooth
Structure
Function
Visibility
No ribosomes are attached
Make cellular products e.g hormones, lipids
E microscope
