Most commonly found in plant cells
protection, support and shape
cell membrane
lets some things in and/or out of the cell
acts as a boundary layer to contain the cytoplasm (fluid in cell)
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Structure - sheets of unit membrane with ribosomes on the outside
- forms a tubular network throughout the cell
Function - transports chemicals between cells and within cells
- provides a large surface area for the organization of chemical reactions and synthesis
Vacuole
- produces turgor pressure against cell wall for support
- stores water and various chemicals
- may store insoluble wastes
Lysosome
digests materials
Mitochondrion
INside are folded membrane which provides a larger surface area where enzymes for respiration are attached.
site of cellular respiration ie. the release of chemical energy from food
Glucose + Oxygen ------> Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy
Golgi Apparatus
Chemically modifies, stores and distributes substances made by the endoplasmic reticulum
Chloroplast
site of photosynthesis
chlorophyll Carbon Dioxide + Water ---------------> Glucose + Oxygen radiant energy (food)
