Structure of cell

Cards (39)

  • 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.
