Nucleus:
Ribosomes:
Vacuoles:
Mitochondria:
Cilia:
Threads that extend from the cell surface. Typically 3-4μm long.
Functions:
• Move an entire organism.
• Move material within an organism.
Centriole:
Hollow cylinders 0.5μm in length and 0.2μm in diameter.
Functions:
• Microtubules within the centrioles for the spindle fibers during
nuclear division and so position and move chromosomes during
the process.
• May be involved in the formation of Microtubules that make up
the cytoskeleton of the cell.
Tonoplast:
Cytoplasmic membrane surrounding the vacuole, separating the
vacuolar contents from the cytoplasm in a cell.
Functions:
• Involved in regulating the movements of ions around the cell,
and isolating materials that might be harmful or a threat to the
cell.
