Cell Structure and Function

Cytoplasm

• gel-like intracellular substance in which organelles are imbedded

• control center of the cell

• found in endoplasmic reticulum and cytoplasm; produce enzymes and proteins

• region in the cell that contains centrioles

Centrosomes

• makes ATP and cellular energy

• control center of the cell

• found in endoplasmic reticulum and cytoplasm; produce enzymes and proteins

• region in the cell that contains centrioles

Ribosomes

• makes ATP and cellular energy

• control center of the cell

• found in endoplasmic reticulum and cytoplasm; produce enzymes and proteins

• transport material within the cell; site of protein, fat and glycogen synthesis

Nucleus

• makes ATP and cellular energy

• control center of the cell

• packages cellular material for transfer; secretes protein

• transport material within the cell; site of protein, fat and glycogen synthesis

Mitochondria

• makes ATP and cellular energy

• contains small digestive enzymes that destroy pathogens that invades the cell

• packages cellular material for transfer; secretes protein

• transport material within the cell; site of protein, fat and glycogen synthesis

Endoplasmic reticulum

• provide shape to the cell via microtubules and filaments

• contains small digestive enzymes that destroy pathogens that invades the cell

• packages cellular material for transfer; secretes protein

• transport material within the cell; site of protein, fat and glycogen synthesis

Golgi apparatus

• provide shape to the cell via microtubules and filaments

• contains small digestive enzymes that destroy pathogens that invades the cell

• packages cellular material for transfer; secretes protein

• genetic material found in the nucleus of a cell

Lysosomes

• provide shape to the cell via microtubules and filaments

• contains small digestive enzymes that destroy pathogens that invades the cell

• central region of the nucleus that synthesizes RNA to make ribosomes

• genetic material found in the nucleus of a cell

Cytoskeleton

• provide shape to the cell via microtubules and filaments

• tubular shaped; part of cell division

• central region of the nucleus that synthesizes RNA to make ribosomes

• genetic material found in the nucleus of a cell

Chromatin

• semi-permeable; holds cell together and cytoplasm in tact

• tubular shaped; part of cell division

• central region of the nucleus that synthesizes RNA to make ribosomes

• genetic material found in the nucleus of a cell
