1. Parts and Functions of a Cell By Porshay LeDuff and Brenda Mora

2. Nucleus Is responsible for the reproduction and growth of the cell. It contains a nucleolus, and chromatin. It is bound together by a nuclear membrane which contains nuclear pores.

3. Nucleolus A small round body of protein in the nucleus. Makes ribosome's for protein synthesis

4. Chromatin Stainable substance of a cell nucleus consisting of DNA and RNA Repairs the cell

5. Nuclear membrane /nuclear pores Nuclear membrane-insures that interior of the nucleus is isolated from the cells cytoplasm Nuclear pores- how information travels in and out of the cell

6. cytoplasm Clear liquid that is composed of cytosol Supportive framework and works with membranes and organelles from colliding

7. Endoplasmic reticulum Made up of folded membrane Provided a tubular transport system inside the cell

8. Rough & Smooth E.R. Rough ER contains ribosome's Functions as a syntheses and transport of proteins Smooth ER is smooth because it does not contain ribosome's It’s a synthesis of lipids

9. Mitochondria The energy source of the cell Contains cristae need for aerobic respiration

10. Golgi Apparatus Composed of flattened sacs Packages the cells products to make transport easier

11. Lysosomes Contains powerful enzymes to break up old cell components and bacteria Known as “Garbage Disposal” of the cell

12. Vacuoles Part of the cell membrane liquid Help liquids and solids move in and out of cell

13. Stem Cell Research… Requires an embryonic stem cell from an embryo And adult stem cells may also be obtained
