- Cells
- Animal Cells
- Smooth ER
- Responsible for storage and production of lipids and steriods
- Located near to the Rough ER
- Not dotted with Ribosomes
- Ribosomes
- Found in the Cytoplasm
- Synthesis' protein
- Rough ER
- Produces protein from the ribosomes
- Proteins sent to the Golgi Body
- Located near the nucleus
- Dotted with Ribosomes
- Cell Membrane
- Two layers made from phospholipids
- Contains carbohydrates and protein molecules
- Flagella
- Tail of the cell
- Used to move the cell
- Commonly found on sperm cells
- Smooth ER
- Animal Cells
- Nucleus
- The control centre of the cells
- Surround by a nuclear membrane which has pores
- Nucleolus in the centre contains genetic information
- Golgi Body
- Receives protein from RER and packages it with carbohydrates (Glycoprotein)
- These packages are called 'vesicles'
- Only one can be found in the cell
- Receives protein from RER and packages it with carbohydrates (Glycoprotein)
- Lyosomes
- The rubbish bin of the cell
- Responsible for digesting dead cells and waste particles
- The rubbish bin of the cell
- Centiroles
- Two sun-like structures and found close together
- Responsible for splitting the chromosomes during cell division
- Cillia
- Hair like structures which move things around the cell
- Found down the respiratory tract (lungs and trachea)
- Mitochondria
- Produces ATP (energy) through aerobic respiration
- Any number can be found in the cell
- Nucleus
- Animal Cells
