CELL PART

Expanded Definition

Function Summary

Location

DNA

is the material that contains the information that determines inherited characteristics. Are composed of a nitrogen base, a phosphate group, and a sugar.

Found on Chromosomes pictured left.

  • Carry genetic material

ALL CELLS

Lysosome

 cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes. These enzymes can digest, or break down, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, DNA, and RNA.

Work in two main ways:

1) by enclosing and digesting food using a vesicle of enzymes (phagocytosis) 2) by recycling organelles (autophagy)

  • Breaks down larger food molecules
  • Digest old cell parts

Common in Animals

Uncommon in Plants

Vacuole

a large fluid-filled vesicle located in the cytoplasm of a plant cell or of certain protists.
store water, enzymes, and wastes make the cell rigid and help the plant to stand upright keep toxic wastes away from the rest of the cell

  • Store food, water, metabolic and toxic wastes
  • Store large amounts of food or sugar in plants

Plant cells  Large, Single Vacuole

Animal cells have small vacuoles

Golgi Complex

cell organelle that helps make and package materials to be transported out of the cell.
Lipids and proteins from the ER are delivered here, to be modified for different functions.

  • Modify proteins made by cells
  • Package and export proteins

All cells except prokaryotic cells

Vesicles

Organelles that are pinched off pieces Golgi apparatus's membrane that that form a small compartment. These small compartment transport its contents to other parts of the cell or outside of the cell.

 

  • Transport cellular materials

All cells except prokaryotic cells

Mitochondria

the cell organelle that is surrounded by two membranes and that is the site of cellular respiration, which produces ATP.

  • Breaks down sugar (glucose) molecules to release energy
  • Site of aerobic cellular respiration

All cells except prokaryotic cells

Ribosome

is a small organelle where proteins are made (assembled) from amino acids.

  • Synthesize proteins
  •  

All cells

Amino Acid

 

is an organic molecule that contains a carboxyl group and an amino group. They combine to form proteins, which are the principal components of all cells.

 

All cells

Cytoplasm

is the region of the cell within the membrane that includes the fluid, the cytoskeleton, and all of the organelles except the nucleus. Contains membrane-covered organelles include the mitochondria, the endoplasmic reticulum and, the Golgi apparatus.

Cytosol, which is the soluble portion of the cytoplasm, includes molecules and small particles, such as ribosomes, but not the organelles covered with membranes.

  • Supports and protects cell organelles

All Cells

Endoplasmic

Reticulum

is a system of membranous tubules and sacs in eukaryotic cells that functions as a path along which molecules move from one part of the cell to another. Can be Smooth or Rough

  • Carries material through the cell
  • Aids in making proteins

All cells except prokaryotic cells

 

 

Nucleus

 

largest and most visible organelle in a eukaryotic cell.

stores the DNA that contains information that tells the cell how to make all of the proteins that control cell function. It is covered by a double membrane, called the nuclear envelope, through which materials can pass.

  • Controls cell activities
  • Contains the hereditary material of the cell

All cells except prokaryotic cells

Nucleolus

Contains RNA for protein manufacture.

  • Makes ribosomes

All cells except prokaryotic cells

Cytoskeleton

- Composed of microtubules
- Supports cell and provides shape
- Aids movement of materials in and out of cells

  • Strengthen cell and maintain the shape
  • Moves organelles within the cell

All Cells

Chloroplast

Contain green chlorophyll where photosynthesis takes place

  • Uses energy from the sun to make food (glucose) for the plant
  • Process called photosynthesis
  • Release oxygen

Plant and Algae Cells

NOT Animal Cells

Cell Wall

Most commonly found in plant cells
- Controls turgity

-Made of Cellulose
- Primary cell wall: extremely elastic
- Secondary cell wall: forms around primary cell wall after growth is complete

  • Supports (grow tall)
  • Protection
  • Allows Water, Oxygen, and Carbon Dioxide to diffuse in and out of the cell

Plant, Fungi, and Bacterial Cells NOT Animal Cells

Centriole

Involved in cellular division- Paired structures near the nucleus

 

Separate chomosome pairs during mitosis

Animal Cells

Cell

(Plasma)

Membrane

 

forms a barrier between the inside of the cell and the outside, so that the chemical environments on the two sides can be different.

  • Support
  • Protection
  • Controls movement of materials in/out of cell
  • Barrier between cell and its environment

All Cells

OTHER IMPORTANT CELL RELATED TERMS

Tissue

Any of the distinct types of material of which animals or plants are made, consisting of specialized cells and their products.

 

Organ

A relatively independent part of the body that carries out one or more special functions, consisting of specialized tissue.

Organ System

A group of organs that work together to perform a complex function

Organism

A living thing.

  • Plant
  • Animal
  • Fungi
  • Protists
  • Bacteria

Structure

The arrangement of and relations between the parts or elements of something complex.

 

Function

 

What a structure does.

How a structure works.

The job a structure performs.

The way a structure operates.

 

Organelle

Tiny structures within cells that have specialized structures and perfom.

Prokaryote

Single cellular organisms that lack a membrane-bound nucleus are called prokaryotes (Pro- means the before nuclei).

 

 

Eukaryote

A single-celled or multicellular organism whose cells contain a distinct membrane-bound nucleus. (Eu- means TRUE)
