Cells

Three parts of every cell
- plasma membrane
- nucleus
- cytoplasm
plasma membrane

skin of the cell
nucleus

brain of the cell
cytoplasm
- makes up the majority of the cell
- mitochondria
- ribosomes
- endoplasmic reticulum
- golgi apparatus
- lysomes/vacuoles
mitochondria
- powerhouse of cell
- produces ATP (energy) through cellular respiration
ribosomes
- synthesize proteins
- small granules
endoplasmic reticulum
- rough-synthesizes protiens with the ribosomes
- smooth-funtion in lipid metabolism
golgi apparatus
- post office of the cell
- receives vesicules of protein and lipids
- modifies them to make glycolipids and glycoporoteins
- sends them to other parts of the cell
vacuoles
- sacs that store things in the cell
- lysomes-suicide bags that carry things out of the cell
cytoskeleton

like bones give the cell structure
cilia

sweep substances from the cell
flagella

tail like production (sperm)
Interphase of cell

gearing up not reproducing
4 stages of Mitosis
- Prophase
- Metaphase
- Anaphase
- Telophase
