Cell Structure and Function (Eukaryotic Cells)
Nucleus
DNA material separated and protected by a double-bound membrane
Plasma Membrane
This is a structure separates the inside of the cell from the outside of the cell and serves as protection to the cell as it is lined with a phospholipid bilayer (regulates what can come in and out of the cell).
Cytoplasm
The fluid inside the cell that consumes all the space in between the organelles, serves as a easy way for transportation and protection within the cell.
Ribosomes
These small round structures make proteins which are used to code DNA. The ribosomes are found on the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Mitochondria
Mitochondria are very important as they make the energy for the cell to carry out its functions. It takes sugar and oxygen is added to make ATP, which is the source of energy for the cell.
Rough and Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
The rough endoplasmic reticulum contains ribosomes together the make and process proteins in order to be transported. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum has sac that work to make lipids to help process the proteins.
Golgi Apparatus
The golgi apparatus help to further the preparation of proteins and lipids in order to exit the cell.
Vesicles
Vesicles helps transport proteins and lipids to be exported from the cell and help digest cell products and waste. Vesicles are made from the golgi apparatus.
Lysosomes
Lysosomes are like the garbage trucks, they break down waste and transport it out of the cell
