cell organelles

 

1.  Nucleolus- found within the nucleus, it’s a cluster of rRNA and produces ribosomes.   

2. The nucleus- •Stores genetic information, Controls cell division, Directs functioning of cell (provides template for RNA-protein synthesis)

3. Ribosome Site of protein synthesis–polypeptides, enzymes Reads RNA code, translates into amino acid sequence- protein

4. Vesicle-Shipping containers –transport of materials around or out of cell

5. Rough ER-involved in the synthesis of proteins and is also a membrane factory for the cell

6. Golgi Body-Modification of proteins and lipids Storage and packaging of molecules POST OFFICE OF CELL

7. Cytoskeleton-maintains cell shape transport within the cell- movement of vesicles and organelles

8. Smooth ER- Package proteins for transport within cell, Synthesis of membrane phospholipids, Synthesize lipids, triglycerides, steroids, large surface area for chemical reactions, Detoxify drugs in liver cells

9. Mitochondria- production of ATP (site of cellular respiration)

10. Vacuole- vacuoles serve a variety of secretory, excretory, and storage functions

11. Cytoplasm-Cytoplasm offers support to the cell

12. Lysosomes-Are used for garbage disposal and Break down bacteria entering cell, worn out organelles, intracellular digestion

13. Centrioles- Centrioles organize mitotic apparatus which consists of asters and spindle fibers which help in division of chromosomes
