CELL STRUCTURE M EET AND GREET Cell Structure Location in Cell Function Drawing Cell M embrane Nucleus (Plural = Nuclei) Surrounds the c ell Protect the inside of the c ell from the environment outside the c ell Cytoplasm Direct c ell activities; c ontains the genetic information s tored in DNA, proteins and the nucleolus Nucleolus Nucleus Makes ribosomes Centriole Near the nucleus Help the c ell divide Lysosome Digestion in the c ell; breaks down and recycles c ellular components Cytoplasm Cell Structure Location in Cell Function Drawing Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Has ribosomes attached to it; place where proteins are produced in the c ell From the nucleus throughout the c ytoplasm Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Makes lipids and removes harmful s ubstances from the cell From the nucleus throughout the c ytoplasm Ribosome Nucleus, c ytoplasm, attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum Place where proteins are made Golgi Apparatus Near the endoplasmic reticulum Prepare proteins and package them into vesicles Cytoskeleton Give a c ell s hape and help it to move Throughout the c ytoplasm Cell Structure Mitochondrion (Plural = M itochondria) Vesicle Location in Cell Function Cytoplasm Chemical reactions that release energy occur here; energy is s tored in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) Throughout the c ell Released by the golgi apparatus; transport substances from one area of the c ell to another Drawing Flagellum (Plural = Flagella) Whips back and forth to m ove a c ell Attached to c ell m embrane Cilium (Plural = Cilia) Cytoplasm Attached to c ell m embrane Help m ove a c ell or m ove molecules away from a c ell Fluid inside a c ell Contains m ostly water but also salts, other m olecules and organelles and the cytoskeleton
