1. Ribosomes and Centrosomes of an Animal Cell. By: Taylor Adams, Luke Bruno, Ryan Rushall and Jillian Webb

2. Ribosomes  Ribosomes are for assembling the proteins of a cell.  Smallest organelle but the but the most abundant.  Ribosomes mix amino acid to convert food into protein.  Ribosomes are attached to the Endoplasmic Reticulum which makes the surface look rough hence the rough ER.  Ribosomes are made up of dozens of proteins

3. Centrosomes  Also called the “Microtubules organizing center.”  Not essential but has a big part in the animal cell.  Centrosomes help in the division process.  Control structure of cell.  Centrosomes are made up of centrioles.  Placed near the nucleus and cytoplasm.  Are made up of two centrioles which separate at the time of cell division.

4. Fun Facts Ribosomes  Rib is from ribonucleic acid  Soma is Greek for body  Ribosomes contain twenty-five percent of the cells mass Centrosomes  Cancer cells have more than normal number of centrosomes.  Centrosomes are not in fungi.  The first animal found to not have centrosome is a fresh water flat worm.
