Step-by-step solution for: Solved Cell Labeling - Animal Cell 1. 2. 3 8 (10) 8. 9. 10 ...
The image provided is a diagram of an animal cell, and the task is to label the various parts of the cell. Below is the solution with explanations for each labeled part:
1. Ribosome
- Ribosomes are small structures where protein synthesis occurs. They can be found either free in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
2. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)
- The rough ER is studded with ribosomes and is involved in protein synthesis and transport. It has a "rough" appearance due to the ribosomes on its surface.
3. Nucleolus
- The nucleolus is a dense region within the nucleus where ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is synthesized and ribosomal subunits are assembled.
4. Nuclear Envelope
- The nuclear envelope is a double membrane that surrounds the nucleus and regulates the movement of molecules in and out of the nucleus.
5. Nucleus
- The nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing the cell's DNA (genetic material) and directing cellular activities.
6. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)
- The smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis, detoxification of drugs, and calcium storage.
7. Golgi Apparatus
- The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other parts of the cell.
8. Cilia
- Cilia are hair-like structures on the cell surface that help in movement or in moving substances across the cell surface.
9. Cell Membrane
- The cell membrane (also called the plasma membrane) is a phospholipid bilayer that regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
10. Mitochondrion
- Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.
11. Lysosome
- Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris. They also play a role in autophagy (self-digestion).
12. Vacuole
- Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs used for storage, waste disposal, and maintaining turgor pressure in plant cells (though they are smaller in animal cells).
13. Centriole
- Centrioles are cylindrical structures involved in organizing the microtubules of the mitotic spindle during cell division.
14. Cytoplasm
- The cytoplasm is the gel-like substance inside the cell membrane where all the organelles are suspended. It provides a medium for cellular activities.
