Cell organelles
Golgi apparatus
sorting and shipping proteins produced in the endoplasmic reticulum
centriole
microtubules that form fibres to seperate chromosomes during cell division. always in pairs->centrisome
vacuole
space found in cytoplasm. enclosed by membrane. filled with organic and inorganic molecules and water.
ribosomes
found in cytoplasm, most attached to endoplasmic reticulum. make proteins that the cell needs as well as ones to be exported out of cell to work elsewhere.
lysosome
break down cellular waste products into simple compounds. waste is transferred to cytoplasm as new cell-building materials.
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
does not have ribosomes. creates and transports lipids and steroids.
rough endoplasmic reticulum
ribosomes on membrane
mitochondria
main power generators, converting oxygen and nutrients into energy (atp). cells with more work -> more mitochondria e.g. muscle cells
cytoskeleton
maintain cell shape/support. assist with muscle fibre contraction for locomotion. assist with chromosome seperation in cell division, and intracellular transport. made of microfilaments (actin) and are the thinnest filaments of the cytoskeletion, found in cytoplasm.
