Cell organelles

Nucleus

• control center of the cell and tells cell what to do

• long strands of DNA, DNA --> Instruction manual, stores genetic info

• creates rRNA to make Ribosomes, Ribosomes = rRNA + protein, sends mRNA to Ribosome to make proteins

• contains ribosomes, production of proteins, transport protein using vesicles

Chromatin

• control center of the cell and tells cell what to do

• long strands of DNA, DNA --> Instruction manual, stores genetic info

• creates rRNA to make Ribosomes, Ribosomes = rRNA + protein, sends mRNA to Ribosome to make proteins

• contains ribosomes, production of proteins, transport protein using vesicles

Nucleolus

• control center of the cell and tells cell what to do

• long strands of DNA, DNA --> Instruction manual, stores genetic info

• creates rRNA to make Ribosomes, Ribosomes = rRNA + protein, sends mRNA to Ribosome to make proteins

• contains ribosomes, production of proteins, transport protein using vesicles

Rough ER

• control center of the cell and tells cell what to do

• long strands of DNA, DNA --> Instruction manual, stores genetic info

• creates rRNA to make Ribosomes, Ribosomes = rRNA + protein, sends mRNA to Ribosome to make proteins

• contains ribosomes, production of proteins, transport protein using vesicles

Smooth ER

• control center of the cell and tells cell what to do

• long strands of DNA, DNA --> Instruction manual, stores genetic info

• No ribosomes, produces lipids, cholesterol, and hormones, detoxification (breaks down toxins)

• contains ribosomes, production of proteins, transport protein using vesicles

Golgi body

• control center of the cell and tells cell what to do

• receives vesicles and modifies proteins, adds lipids and carbs, protein folding and exportation

• No ribosomes, produces lipids, cholesterol, and hormones, detoxification (breaks down toxins)

• contains ribosomes, production of proteins, transport protein using vesicles

Mitochondria

• generates energy (ATP), cellular respiration, contains its own DNA

• contains digestive enzymes, destroys pathogens (white blood cells)

• gelly like fluid, contains dissolved solutes

• power house of cell

Lysosome

• generates energy (ATP), cellular respiration, contains its own DNA

• contains digestive enzymes, destroys pathogens (white blood cells)

• gelly like fluid, contains dissolved solutes

• power house of cell

Cytoplasm

• generates energy (ATP), cellular respiration, contains its own DNA

• contains digestive enzymes, destroys pathogens (white blood cells)

• gelly like fluid, contains dissolved solutes

• power house of cell

Cytoskeleton

• maintain the shape of the cell and structural support, consists of microtubules, microfilaments, intermediate filaments

• largest of the three fibers. made up of tubulan, structural support and transportation

• smallest of the three network fibers, made up of actin, elongation and contraction

• provide mechanical support
