Cell Membrane

-
The thin covering that surrounds every cell.
Centrosome
-
An area in the cell where microtubules are
produced.
Cytoplasm
-
The region that is inclosed within the cell
membrane. The cytoplasm contains enzymes that
control chemical reactions inside cells. It also is the
site where most of the cell's cellular activities take
place such as the metabolic pathways. It also makes
helps the animal by making its eyes bluer at night.
Cell division also occurs in the cytoplasm.
Golgi Body
-
It sorts proteins and other substances into vesicles.
Vesicles then send the proteins throughout the cell.
Lysosome
-
Lysosomes contain powerful digestive enzymes that
digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles
and engulfed bacteria or viruses.
Mitochondrion
-
Mitochondrion are cellular organelles responsible
for cellular respiration. They are considered the
power houses of cells (both plant and animal). They
convert sugars (glucose) into energy (ATP) used by
cells to live, grow, reproduce etc.
Nuclear Membrane
-
The nuclear membrane controls what enters and
exist the cell.
Nucleolus
-
The nucleolus is where the components of
ribosomes are manufactured. These ribosomal
components exit through the nuclear pores and
enter into the cytoplasm where they are assembled
into ribosomes.
Nucleus
-
The nucleus has two major functions, it stores
genetic material also known as DNA, and also it
controls the cells activities which include growth,
metabolism and reproduction.
Ribosome
-
Ribosomes are the components of cells that aid in
protein synthesis - composing polypeptides from
amino acids.
Rough ER (Endoplasmic Reticulum)
-
The rough endoplasmic reticulum transports
proteins that are made by ribosomes which
surround it.
Smooth ER (Endoplasmic Reticulum)
-
Packaging of secretory proteins as well as the
synthesis of lipids. Also responsible for inactivation
and detoxification of drugs and other compounds
that might otherwise be harmful or toxic to the cell.
Vacuole
-
Vacuoles in an animal cell function as a waste bin; it
stores worn-out cell parts that are already degraded.
It also removes unwanted substances that may
threaten the system, exporting them out of the
cell.


Amylopast
-
Amyloplasts convert granules (starch), back into
sugar when the plant needs energy.
Cell Membrane
-
The cell membrane in a plant cell basically does the
same as an animal cell's plant membrane, so it's a
layer of protection, and it allows objects to pass
through it.
Cell Wall
-
It maintains the shape of the cell. It provides
structural strength to the plant. It protects the plant
cell from mechanical injury and from pathogens
(bacteria, fungi). And also provides a path way for
exchange of materials between two adjacent cells.
Chloroplast
-
Chloroplasts are tiny, round, green food factories
within the leaves of a plant.
Cytoplasm
-
The cytoplasm is the cytosol and all the organelles
(minus the nucleus) in the cell. Its main function is
suspension of the organelles, their nutrients, and
products.
Golgi Body
-
The Golgi bodies receive proteins and other newly
formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum
package them, and distribute them to other parts of
the cell.
Mitochondrion
-
Mitochondria are sometimes described as "cellular
power plants" because they generate most of the
cell's supply of cells energy.
Nuclear Membrane
-
The nuclear envelope (NE) (also known as
the perinuclear envelope, nuclear
membrane, nucleolemmaor karyotheca) is a double
lipid bilayer that encloses the genetic material in
eukaryotic cells.
Nucleolus
-
The nucleolus produces ribosomes, the organelles
that manufacture proteins in the cell.
Nucleus
-
The nucleus is responsible for controlling/
regulating the metabolic functions of the cell.
Ribosomes
-
Ribosomes are dense-looking granules formed of
two parts. They may be attached to the endoplasmic
reticulum or free in the cytoplasm. Ribosomes are
the sites where amino acids are assembled into
proteins in the process of protein synthesis.
Rough ER
-
It has ribosomes on its membrane and provides
surface area for protein synthesis.
Smooth ER
-
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum has functions in
several metabolic processes, including synthesis of
lipids, metabolism of carbohydrates and calcium
concentration, drug detoxification, and attachment
of receptors on cell membrane proteins.
Vacuole
-
The plant vacuole stores food, water, and wastes. It
gives support to soft structures, such as leaves.
