location: outer boundary of the cell

structure: bilayer of phosolipids

function: a barrier that also allows selective transport and interaction with the enviorment outside the cell.

location: continuous with the membrane of the nucleaus

structure: series of folded, hollow, tube-like membranes.

function: provides large surface area for metabloic reactions & activities.  

structure: lacks ribosomes of its surface

function:

synthesizes steroids, oils, and phosolipids.

detoxifies poisons and drugs.

metabolizes carbohydrates and fats.

structure: appears dotted because it has ribosomes attached to its surface

functions:

assists ribosomes with the synthesis of proteins

contributes to plasma membrance formation - sends proteins and

  phosolipids to the membrane.

location: next to the rough endoplasmic reticulum

structure: several hollow, flattened membrance sacs

functions: acts as the "post office"

modifies proteins, packages &ships those proteins to other places

synthesizes polysacchardies and lipids

the "shipping container" for the Golgi Apparatus is the vesicle

location: scattered throughout the cytoplasm, made by the Golgi

structure: tiny, circular sac containing digestive enzymes

functions: acts as the cell's "garbage disposal"

digests carbohydrated, proteins, lipds, and nucleic acids

destroys foreign pathogens

recycles cell materials and damaged organelles

location: scattered throughout the cytoplasm

structure: tiny, circular sac that contains enzymes

functions:

detoxifies alcohol

breaks down fatty acids

synthesizes chloestoral & bile acids

breaks down hydrogen peroxide with catalase enzyme

location: scattered throughout cytoplasm

structure:

vacuoles: large membrance band sacs

vesicles: small membrance band sacs

function:

vacuoles: store foor water and minerals

vesicles: transport various cellular materials

"power plant" of the cell, makes eneregy (atp)

structure: 2 phospholipid bilauer membranes: outer membrane which is smooth and permeable, and inner membrance which contains multiple folds called cristae, this increase surface area.

components: 2 components: intermembrane space - between inner and outer membranes and mitochondrial matrix - innermost chamber; fluid of mitochondria.

"farmhouse" of the cell; makes food in the form of sugar

structure: inner and outer membrance, phospholipid bilayer. they contain thylakaid membranes, flattened sacs that stack  on top of eachother.  Contain grana-stacks of thylakoid membranes.  Stroma- cellular fluid is inside the chloroplast.

- membranes made of a bilayer with different phospholipids than other organelles

- contains their own DNA

- contain their own different ribosomes

- synthesize their own proteins

- have the ability to self replicate

location: attached to rough ER or scattered throughout cytoplasm

structure: made of RNA & protein, contains a large and small subunit that combine to make protein

function: synthesize proteins

location: attached to the plasma membrane; nuclear  membrane & throughout cell. - network of tubes, highway.

structure: protein fibers of varying thickness forming a cellelar skeleton.

functions: 

shape & support of the cell

movement of the cell

serves as a highway - vesicles & some organelles travel along the fibers

location: close to the nucleus in a region called the centrosome

structure: two sets of microtubules at right angles to each other

function: organizes microtubules into a pattern of fibers that attach to chromosomes during mitosis; pattern of fibers is called the mitotic spindle

location: on the outside of the plasma membrane

structure: 

cilia - short projections of the plasma membrane; many per cell

flagella - long structures extending from the membrane; one or

   two per cell

function: movement of the cell through enviornment or move

   things in the enviornment over the cell.

function: "brain" of the cell; controls all cellular activity

location: normally the dead center of the cell

structure: contains several components: nuclear membrane, nucleolus and chromatin.
