The nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing genetic material (DNA) that determines an organism's characteristics.
Cytoplasm - The jelly-like substance inside the cell membrane that contains various structures such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles, cytoskeleton, and ribosomes.
Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.
The cytoplasm contains various structures such as ribosomes, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles, cytoskeleton, and centrioles.
Ribosome - The site where protein synthesis occurs.
Endoplasmic reticulum helps in the synthesis and transportation of proteins.
The mitochondria generates most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the chemical energy currency of cells.
Vacuole stores water, nutrients, and wastes.
Lysosomes break down waste materials within the cell.
Vacuole stores water, nutrients, and wastes within plant cells.
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which absorbs light energy from sunlight to produce glucose through photosynthesis.
Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes used by cells to break down waste materials.
Golgi Apparatus - Modifies and packages proteins and lipids produced by the ER for transport to other parts of the cell or outside the cell.
Golgi apparatus modifies and packages proteins for transport to other parts of the cell or outside the cell.
Endoplasmic Reticulum - A network of flattened sacs involved in protein synthesis and lipid metabolism.
Mitochondrion - Responsible for energy production through aerobic respiration.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): A network of flattened sacs involved in protein synthesis and lipid metabolism.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): A network of flattened sacs called cisternae that transport materials within cells and play a role in protein production.
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and are involved in photosynthesis.
Lysosome breaks down waste materials inside the cell.
Golgi Apparatus modifies and packages proteins and lipids produced by the rough ER.
Cytoskeleton provides structural support to the cell and allows it to move or change shape.
Cytoskeleton provides structural support to the cell and allows it to move.
Centrioles are involved in cell division and the formation of spindle fibers during mitosis.
Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis in plants.
Cell wall provides structural support to plant cells.
Cell wall provides structural support and protection to the cell.
Nucleus contains genetic material and controls cellular activities.
Cell membrane regulates what enters or exits the cell.
Ribosome - Site of protein synthesis.
Cytoskeleton - Provides structural support and helps with movement inside the cell.
Nucleus - Contains genetic material (DNA) that controls all activities of the cell.
Lysosomes break down waste products, damaged organelles, and invading pathogens using digestive enzymes.
Vacuole is a large, membrane-bound organelle found only in plant cells.
Vacuoles store water, nutrients, pigments, and waste products.
Ribosomes are small structures responsible for protein synthesis.
Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, with free ribosomes found throughout the cytoplasm and bound to the endoplasmic reticulum.
Mitochondria produce energy through aerobic respiration, using oxygen from the air we breathe.
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and other pigments that absorb light energy used by plants for photosynthesis.
