  • 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 containing digestive enzymes used to break down waste materials and damaged organelles.
  • Ribosomes are tiny structures made up of RNA and protein molecules involved in protein synthesis.
  • Ribosomes are tiny structures made up of RNA and protein molecules involved in protein synthesis.
  • Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes used to break down waste materials inside the cell.
  • Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes used to break down waste materials inside the cell.
  • Peroxisomes are small sacs found in eukaryotic cells that play a role in detoxification processes by breaking down toxic substances such as alcohol and drugs.
  • Peroxisomes are small sacs found in animal cells that contain oxidative enzymes involved in detoxification processes.
  • Peroxisomes are small sacs found in animal cells that contain oxidative enzymes involved in detoxification processes.
  • Peroxisomes are small sacs found in eukaryotic cells that play a role in detoxification processes by breaking down toxic substances such as alcohol and drugs.
  • Mitochondria help break down glucose and fatty acids to produce ATP through the process of cellular respiration.
  • Lysosomes are membrane-bound vesicles that contain digestive enzymes used to break down waste materials and damaged organelles.
  • 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.
