Cell Structure and Function Worksheet 1. Nucleolus: #1 Sturcture: The nucleolus is a sphere located inside the nucleus of eukaryotic cells Function: Produce ribsomes made from RNA 2. Nucleus: #2 Structure: The nucleus is a sphere that contains another sphere called the nucleolus Function: Storage center for the cells DNA 3. Ribsome: #3 Structure: Consists of 2 subunits made of protein and RNA Function: Location of protein synthesis 4. Lysosomes: #4 Structure: Spherical organelles that contain hydraulic enzymes 5. Rough ER: #5 Structure: Endoplasmic Reticulum prominent in cells that make large amounts of protein to be exported from the cell Function: Make protein 6. Golgi Apparatus: #6 Structure: Stacked Flat Sacs Function: Recieves proteins from rER and distributes them to other organelles or out of the cell 7. Cytoskeleton: #7 Structure: A network of thin, fiberous, elements made up of microtubles and microfilaments Funtion: Acts as a support system for organelles 8. Smooth ER: #8 Structure: Involved in the synthesis of lipids and breakdown of toxic substances Function: Create lipids and breaks down substances and detoxes cells 9. Mitochondria: #9 Structure: Folded membrane within an outer membrane Function: Converts energy within food into unstable energy for work 10. Vesicle: #10 Structure: Spherical organelle that contains material made from the cell function Function: To transport material around the cell to the cell and out of the cell 11. Cytoplasm: #11 Structure: Gellitin like fluid that flies inside the cell membrane Function: Contains salts, minerals, and organic molecules 12. Peroxisome: #12 Structure: Spherical organelles that contain enzymes within single membranes Function: Degrade hydrogen peroxides 1/2 13. Centrioles: #13 Structure: Composed of nine sets of triplet microtubules arranges in a ring Function: Play a major role in cell division 14. Cell Membrane: #14 2/2
