Parts of a Cell

Plasma Membrane: surrounds a cell like a wall.

Microtables: give protein to a cell.

Microfilament: are pollinators of the protein actin that are part of a cells exoskeleton

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum: is a membranous organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. Its main functions are the synthesis of lipids, steroid hormones, the detoxification of harmful metabolic byproducts and the storage and metabolism of calcium ions within the cell.

Lyosome: is an organelle in the cytoplasm of some cells.


Secretory Vesicles:  are tiny little packages in which certain cell secretions can be transported. The vesicles are membrane bound and produced by the golgi apparatus or endoplasmic reticulum.

Peroxisome: is a small organelle present in the cytoplasm of many cells, which contains the reducing enzyme catalase and usually some oxidases.

Centrosome:  is a cellular structure involved in the process of cell division. Before cell division, the centrosome duplicates and then, as division begins, the two centrosomes move to opposite ends of the cell.

Cytoplasam: is the material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the nucleus.

Golgi Vesicles:  are actually made from the Golgi network. In fact, one of the functions of the Golgi is to make new vesicles out of the existing membrane of the Golgi and put into those vesicles the glycoproteins and other substances that are made in the Golgi network.

Golgi Apparatus: is a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion and intracellular transport.

Chromatin: is the material of which the chromosomes of organisms other than bacteria are composed. It consists of protein, RNA, and DNA.

Nucleus: is a Latin word for the seed inside a fruit. It most often refers to: Atomic nucleus, the very dense central region of an atom. Cell nucleus, a central organelle of a eukaryotic cell, containing most of the cell's DNA.

Ribosome: is a minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells. They bind messenger RNA and transfer RNA to synthesize polypeptides and proteins.

Intermediate Filament: are cytoskeletal structural components found in the cells of vertebrates, and many invertebrates.

Mitochondrion: is an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner layer being folded inward to form layers
