-
Nucleus –
The cell nucleus is an organelle that contains most of the cell’s genetic material. The nucleus regulates cell growth and metabolism
-
Nucleolus –
The nucleolus is made of RNA and proteins. It transcribes and modifies RNA.
-
Lysosomes –
The lysosomes contain enzymes that break down biomolecules. They act as the cell’s waste disposal.
-
Chromatin
Chromatin – Chromatin are macromolecules made up of DNA, protein and RNA.
-
Centrioles –
The centrioles help with cytokinesis. (The splitting of a cell)
-
Cytoskeleton –
The cytoskeleton gives a cell its shape, and prevents if from deforming.
-
what is the function of serous fluid?
acts as a lubricant and reduces friction from muscle movement. This can be seen in the lungs, with the pleural cavity.it gives buoyancy and shock to vital organs like the heart
-
Cytoplasm –
The cytoplasm is made up of cytosal, which is a gel-like substance. It is 80% water.
-
Plasma Membrane –
Also known as the cell membrane, the plasma membrane is a selectively permeable wall that separates the cell interior from the outside environment.
-
Ribosomes
– The ribosomes are made of protein and RNA. They convert genetic material into protein.
-
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
– The rough endoplasmic reticulum manufactures enzymes and proteins.
-
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
– The smooth endoplasmic reticulum manufactures lipids, phospholipids, and steroids.
-
Golgi Apparatus
– The golgi apparatus, also known as the golgi bodies, packages protein inside a cell, in preparation for secretion.
-
Mitochondria –
The mitochondria are a cell’s power plants. They generate ATP.
