Animal Cell Model
Cytoplasm and Lysosomes Function: Cytoplasm is a homogeneous, generally clear jelly-like material that fills cells and holds it together. Function : The Lysosomes remove damaged organelles and cells. Cytoplasm Lysosome
Nucleus and Nucleolus Function: The nucleus controls the entire cell. Function: The nucleolus controls what goes on in the cell. It also does cellular reproduction
Mitochondria and Ribosomes Function: The Mitochondria produces most of the energy for the cell.Powerhouse for the cell. Function : Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis. They are the structural support, and the catalyst for protein synthesis Mitochondria Ribosome
Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough and Smooth) Function: This syntheses of proteins (rough ER), lipids and carbohydrates (smooth ER)
Golgi Apparatus and Cell Membrane Function: The Golgi Apparatus storages and packs and exports materials out of the cell or uses in the cell Function: The Cell Membrane is a structure that surrounds the cytoplasm of the cell and regulates the movement of materials in and out of the cell Cell Membrane Golgi Apparatus
Microtubules and Microfilament Function: The Microtubules are pip-like structures found in cytoplasm that help provide shape and movement for the cells. Function: The microfilament are tube-like fibers that transport materials throughout the cytoplasm. Microfilament Microtubules
Centrioles and Vacuole Centrioles: generate the cell's cytoskeleton (not shown in this diagram). Vacuole : They clear out the broken down and worn out cells. Centrioles
Nuclear Pore Nuclear pore: This is complexes are large aqueous channels that penetrate the nuclear envelope, thereby connecting the nuclear interior with the cytoplasm.
