This document summarizes key cellular structures and organelles. It defines the cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, cytosol, and organelles. It describes the functions of the ribosome, smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, lysosomes, peroxisomes, and centrosome. The cell membrane regulates material transport in and out of the cell. The ribosome provides structural support and enzymatic activity for protein synthesis. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein folding, sorting, and transport.

Nucleus-the membrane-enclosed organelle within a cell that
contains the chromosome.
Cytoplasm-provides a platform upon which other organelles can
operate within the cell.
Cytosol-the "soup" within which all of the cell's organelles reside
Fluid portion in the cytoplasm.
Organelles- Any of the Structures in cells that has a specialized
function.
2. regulates the transport of materials entering and exiting the cell
3. The selectively permeable outer boundary of a cell consisting of a phospholipid bilayer embedded with proteins. 4. 1. Ribosome-(ri′bo-sōm) Organelle composed of RNA and protein that provides structural support and enzymatic activity for protein synthesis. 2. Smooth E R (SER)- is associated with the production and metabolism of fats and steroid hormones. It is 'smooth' because it is not studded with ribosomes and is associated with smooth slippery fats. 3. The rough endoplasmic reticulum or rER is vital for protein synthesis that the cell uses for proper functioning. The rER is a stack of membranous organelle that is embedded with ribosomes. It functions in protein folding, sorting, and transporting the proteins outside the cell to their proper destinations. 4. Golgi apparatus (gol′jē ap″ah-ra′tus) Organelle that prepares and modifies cellular products for secretion.
Mitochondria- Mitochondria are tiny organelles inside cells that are
involved in releasing energy from food. This process is known as cellular respiration. It is for this reason that mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell
Lysosome- (li′so-sōm) Organelle that contains digestive enzymes.
Peroxisomes- (pĕ-roks′ĭ-sōm) Membranous cytoplasmic vesicle that
contains enzymes that catalyze reactions that produce and decompose hydrogen peroxide.
Centrosome- Cellular organelle consisting of two centrioles.
