Cell Structure and Function Honors

The outermost layer that gives protection to a bacterial cell.

• Capsule

• Cell wall

• Plasma membrane

• Cytoplasm

Stores genetic information when the cell is NOT actively dividing

• RNA (ribosome)

• DNA (chromatin)

• Protein (enzyme)

• mRNA (messenger)

Synthesize (make) proteins that stay inside of the cell where they are made

• Free Ribosomes

• Mitochondria

• Golgi Apparatus

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

Digests and recycles molecules. Helps remove wastes.

• Lysosome

• Ribosome

• Mitochondrion

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

Site of RNA synthesis (makes ribosomes)

• Nucleolus

• Ribosome

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Golgi Apparatus

Detoxification and lipid synthesis

• Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Nucleus

• Golgi Apparatus

Makes proteins that leave the cell

• Attached ribosomes

• Free ribosomes

• Mitochondria

• Golgi apparatus

Stores food, water, and wastes

• Nucleus

• Mitochondria

• Vacuole

• Ribosome

Structures unique to plant cells

• central vacuole, chloroplasts, cell wall

• mitochondria, ribosomes, lysosomes

• nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus

• plasma membrane, cytoplasm, centrioles

Modifies, sorts and packages proteins

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

• Golgi Apparatus

• Endoplasmic Reticulum
