Human Cell Structure & Functions Guide

This document provides a summary of the key structures and functions of the human cell. It lists the major organelles of the cell including the nucleus, nucleolus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, lysosomes, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, cytoskeleton, and cell membrane. For each structure, it briefly discusses its role in the cell such as the nucleus controlling cell activity, mitochondria generating energy, and the cell membrane regulating what passes into and out of the cell.

Directions: Label the structures of the Human Cell, then below, list down the structures and
discuss its functions.

Nucleus – it controls cell activity, contains


Chromatin - its functions are to package DNA information that allows cells to reproduce, or
into a smaller volume to fit in the cell, strengthen make more cell.
the DNA to allow mitosis and meiosis, and to
serve as a mechanism to control expression.
Nucleolus – serves as the Lysosomes - function as the digestive system of the
synthesis and assembly of cell, serving both to degrade material taken up from
ribosomes. outside the cell and to digest obsolete components of
the cell itself.
Centrioles - play a role in organizing
microtubules that serve as the cell's
skeletal system. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum – is
responsible for fat metabolism

Cytoskeleton - helps cells maintain


their shape and internal organization,
and it also provides mechanical
support that enables cells to carry out
essential functions like division and Golgi apparatus – a structure that
movement. stack of three to ten disc- shaped
envelopes bound by a membrane that
sort, processes, and packages
proteins and membranes.
Mitochondrion – it generates the cell’s
energy, the part of the cell where Ribosomes - serves as the
food and oxygen combine to make site for protein synthesis in
energy. the cell.

Cell membranes - are the outer layers that hold the cell
together, they let nutrients pass into the cell and waste Rough endoplasmic reticulum - hat plays a central role
products pass out. (not everything can pass through a cell in the synthesis of proteins.
membrane)
Cytoplasm – functions to support and
suspend organelles and cellular
molecules.
