Cell Organelles
By Kendra S. Gamble
Plasma or cell membrane
-Both in animal and plant cells.
Cell Wall
-Tough outer cell
-Protects the cell form injury and provides skeletal support for the plant.
Cytoplasm
-Found in both plant and animal cells.
Nucleus
-Seperates the cell's DNA from the activity of the cytoplasm.
-The proteins in the nucleus work together to copy segments of DNA into RNA.(Transcription)
Centrioles
-Each composed of nine triplets of tubules
Organize a microtubule network
Golgi Apparatus
-Packages, modifies, and segregates proteins.
Endoplasmic reticulum
-Coils through the cytoplasm
-Encloses a cavity and cisterna
-Sugar groups are attached to proteins within the cisternae
Smooth: Membranous system of sacs and tubules
-free of ribosomes and it the site of lipid and steroid synthesis.
Lysosomes
Sites of intracellular digestion
Vacuole
Plays a role in intracellular digestion and the release of cellular waste products
Stores nutrients annd waste products
Helps increase cell size
