4 Main Macromolecules Found in the Cell
Lipid
Plasma Membrane-
Controls what enters
and leaves the cell
Nuclear Envelope-
Surrounds Nucleus
in double membrane
Ribosomes-
Digests enzymes such as Lipids
Endoplasmic Reticulum-
Site of Lipid synthesis
Carbohydrates
Nucleolus-
Site of ribosome production
Mitochondria-
Converts energy
into ATP
(usable energy)
Cell Wall-
Supports and protects
the plant cell
Protein
Cytoskeleton-
Supporting network
of long thin protein fibers
Ribosomes-
Help manufacture
proteins
Endoplasmic Reticulum-
Site of Protein synthesis
Golgi apparatus-
modifies, sorts, and packages proteins
into sacs called vesicles
Nucleus-
Stores information
to make proteins
Nucleic Acids
Nucleolus- Controls Nuclelus
Nucleus- Contains most of the cells DNA
Chloroplasts- Captures light energy and converts it into energy usable by the cell
