Parts of the Eukaryotic Cell. Cell Membrane. Selectively Permeable = only certain things can enter / exit the cell. Made primarily of lipids and proteins. Integral proteins form channels or pores which certain substances can pass.

Selectively Permeable = only certain things can enter / exit the cell
Integral proteins form channels or pores which certain substances can pass
Fluid mosaic model = cell membrane acts more like a fluid than a solid (flexible); made up of a variety of parts
Cytoplasm Contains the organelles of the cell
Contains cytosol = a gelatin-like aqueous fluid which organelles are in
Nucleus Stores the hereditary information in its DNA; controls the cell
Nucleus Nucleus
Nuclear Membrane Double membrane that surrounds the nucleus, has nuclear pores
Nucleolus Site where ribosomes are made
Ribosomes Most numerous organelle; synthesize proteins
Mitochondria Sites of chemical reactions – supply energy to cell
Cristae= folds that increase surface area (more sites for chemical reactions)
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) A system of membranous tubules and sacs
Functions as a highway along which molecules move from one part of the cell to another
Two types: • Rough ER (has ribosomes) 2) Smooth ER (no ribosomes)
Golgi Apparatus The processing, packaging, and secreting organelle of the cell
Lysosomes Organelles that contain enzymes that digest stuff
Common in cells of animals, fungi, and protists, but rare in plant cells
Microtubules Contributes to the support, movement, and division of the cell
Flagella Whipping action propels cells and makes them move
Cell Wall Rigidity helps support and protect the plant cell
Vacuole Fluid filled organelle that stores enzymes, metabolic wastes, and water
May occupy 90% of the volume of a plant cell (central vacuole)
Chloroplast used to trap energy of sunlight during photosynthesis with chlorophyll and convert to energy
