    • The Golgi apparatus is responsible for the modification, sorting, packaging, and transport of proteins within cells.
    • Mitochondria are double-membraned structures that generate energy through aerobic respiration.
    • Peroxisomes are small sacs found in animal cells that contain oxidative enzymes responsible for detoxifying toxic substances and breaking down fatty acids.
    • Cytoskeleton provides structural support and helps maintain cell shape.
    • Ribosomes are small subcellular particles involved in protein synthesis.
    • Nucleus contains genetic material and controls cell activities.
    • Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a network of flattened sacs or tubules involved in protein synthesis and lipid metabolism.
    • Ribosomes are sites of protein synthesis and can be free or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
    • Centrioles play a role in cell division by forming spindle fibers during mitosis.
    • Cytoskeleton refers to the network of fibers inside the cytoplasm that provides structural support and helps with movement and transportation within the cell.
    • Ribosomes are tiny structures made up of RNA and protein molecules involved in protein synthesis.

    • Lysosomes are membrane-bound vesicles that contain digestive enzymes used to break down waste materials and damaged organelles.
    • Golgi apparatus modifies, packages, and transports proteins and lipids within the cell.
    • Ribosome
      Cytoplasmic organelles at which proteins are synthesized.
    • Centrosome
      A structure in animal cells containing centrioles from which the spindle fibers develop.
    • Golgi apparatus
      stack of membranes in the cell that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum
    • Lysosome
      A small, round cell structure containing chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller ones.
    • Nuclear membrane
      A highly-porous membrane that separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm
    • Mitochondria
      Powerhouse of the cell
    • Centriole
      Cell organelle that aids in cell division in animal cells only
    • Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
      An endomembrane system where lipids are synthesized, calcium levels are regulated, and toxic substances are broken down.
    • Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
      An endomembrane system covered with ribosomes where many proteins for transport are assembled.
    • Cell membrane
      thin, flexible barrier around a cell; regulates what enters and leaves the cell
    • Vacuoles
      Cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates
    • Nucleolus
      Found inside the nucleus and produces ribosomes
    • Nucleus
      A part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction
    • Cell respiration is the process of breaking down food molecules to release energy.
    • The three stages of cellular respiration are glycolysis, the Krebs cycle (also known as the citric acid cycle), and electron transport chain.
    • Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH.
