The nucleus is involved in the synthesis of ribosomes, which are essential for protein production.
The nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells.
The nucleus controls the cell's activities and is responsible for the regulation of gene expression.
Mitochondria generate most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the chemical energy currency of cells.
The Golgi apparatus is involved in the modification, sorting, packaging, and transport of proteins within cells.
Mitochondria convert the energy from food into ATP through the process of cellular respiration.
Mitochondria have their own circular DNA and replicate within cells.
Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that contain digestive enzymes used to break down cellular waste products and foreign substances.
Ribosomes can be found free-floating or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
It contains genetic material (DNA) that controls cellular activities.
The nuclear envelope surrounds the nucleus and consists of two layers of phospholipid bilayer with pores allowing substances to enter/exit.
Lysosomes break down waste products within the cell through hydrolysis reactions.
Vacuoles in animal cells are important for storage of materials
Vacuoles in plant cells help with storage and maintaining water pressure in the cell
The nucleus is found in most eukaryotic cells. It contains most of the cell's DNA (genetic material).
It protects and controls access to the DNA, which is stored as chromatin (long strands of DNA)
Chromatids are chromatin that is tightly wrapped around packaging proteins called histones.
Nucleolus
Dense structure(s) suspended in the nucleoplasm
It is the site where ribosome subunits (pieces) are assembled from protein and RNA.
Nuclear Envelope (also known as Nuclear Membrane)
A double membrane (two lipid bilayers)
It is selectively permeable (embedded with transport proteins and nuclear pores which regulate the movement of materials)
Its outer membrane is fused with the endoplasmic reticulum.
Endomembrane System
A highly interconnected network of several organellesspanning the nucleusand the cell membrane.
Its exact structure varies among cell types as does its function, but generally, it is responsible for synthesizing and transporting lipids, proteins, and enzymes around the cell, as well as, breaking down and recycling toxins and wastes.
Important organelles of the endomembrane system include the Endoplasmic reticulum, Vesicles, and Golgi bodies.
