1. Cell Structure and Function 10 Parts of a Typical Animal Cell

2. Cell Membrane 1. Cell Membrane -controls what moves in and out of the the cell -has “selective permeability” -gives the cell it’s shape

3. Cytoplasm 2. Cytoplasm -a gel-like liquid that fills the cell -keeps organelles in place but also allows them to move around

4. Nucleus 3. Nucleus -the “control center” of the cell -contains DNA -largest structure in an animal cell

5. Nuclear Membrane 4. Nuclear Membrane -a protective layer that surrounds the nucleus -has small pores that allow RNA and ribosomes to move in and out of the nucleus

6. Endoplasmic reticulum 5. Endoplasmic Reticulum -located next to the nucleus -a passageway for ribosomes and other structures to move throughout the cell *smooth ER does not have ribosomes *rough ER contains ribosomes

8. Ribosomes 6. Ribosomes -small proteins that make more proteins -RNA

9. Golgi Apparatus 7. Golgi Apparatus -packages proteins and other particles that need to be removed from the cell -small vessicles called “Golgi bodies” form from the Golgi Apparatus

10. Lysosomes 8. Lysosomes -get rid of broken or unused cell parts -contains strong enzymes

11. Mitochondria 9. Mitochondria -the “power house” of the cell -supplies the cell with ATP energy -can duplicate itself when the cell is in need of energy

12. Cytoskeleton 10. Cytoskeleton -provide strength and support in the structure of the cell *microtubules are like small tubes that make other organelles such as centrioles *microfilaments are thin fibers that make structures such as cilia or flagella
