Controls movement of substances in and out of cell. Separates cell from surroundings. Allows cell identification.
1 of 18
Microvilli
Increases surface area of Cell Surface Membrane for absorption.
2 of 18
Nucleus
DNA holds genetic information necessary for controlling cell. Nucleolus synthesizes lysosomes.
3 of 18
Mitochondrion
Produces ATP from aerobic respiration. ATP used by cell for active processes e.g. protein synthesis, active transport, muscle contraption (if a muscle cell).
4 of 18
Rough Endoplasmic Rectilium
Synthesis and transport of proteins through cytoplasm
5 of 18
Smooth Endoplasmic Rectilium
Synthesis of lipids.
6 of 18
Ribosomes
Protein synthesis- ribosomes assemble protein molecules for amino acids.
7 of 18
Golgi Apparatus/Body
Packages and processes molecules such as proteins that are made in the cell. Forms Lysosomes.
8 of 18
Lysosomes
Lysosomes are a type of vesicle. Digest unwanted material in the cell.
9 of 18
Cell Wall
Made of Cellulose in eukaryotes and peptidoglycan in prokaryotes. Prevents osmotic lysis. Makes the cell rigid and strong.
10 of 18
Capsule
Only present in some prokaryotes. Slime layer. Protects cell from desiccation and some pathogens.
11 of 18
Cytoplasm
Site of many metabolic reactions
12 of 18
Plasmids
Can pass on genetic information via conjugation to other species
13 of 18
Flagellum
Thin rotating fibre, controls movement of cell.
14 of 18
Envelope
Double membrane.
15 of 18
Vesicle
Membrane-bound sac containing proteins and fluids.
16 of 18
Vacuole
Filled with cell sap to keep cell turgid. Only present in plant cells.
17 of 18
Chloroplast
Contains chlorophyll for photosynthesis.
