  • The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes involved in the synthesis and transport of proteins and lipids.
  • Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.
  • The cytoplasm contains various structures such as ribosomes, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles, cytoskeleton, and centrioles.
  • Ribosomes synthesize proteins necessary for cell growth and maintenance.
  • The nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing genetic material (DNA) that determines an organism's characteristics.
  • Mitochondria produce ATP that provides energy for cell processes.
  • The nucleus contains DNA and regulates cell functions.
  • The cell membrane is a thin, flexible barrier that surrounds and protects the cell.
  • It controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
  • Peroxisomes are organelles found in plant and animal cells that contain oxidative enzymes.
  • Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes used by cells to break down waste materials.
  • Ribosomes are small structures that float freely or attach to the rough ER, where protein synthesis occurs.
  • Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes that break down waste materials within cells.
  • Mitochondria are organelles that produce energy through cellular respiration.
  • Mitochondria generate energy through cellular respiration, producing ATP.
  • Golgi apparatus modifies, packages, and transports proteins to their final destinations.
  • Mitochondria generate ATP through aerobic respiration.
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): A system of interconnected membranous tubules and sacs involved in protein synthesis, folding, modification, and transportation within cells.
  • Mitochondria generate energy through aerobic respiration.
  • Golgi Apparatus: An organelle involved in modifying, sorting, packaging, and distributing proteins and lipids produced by the ER to other parts of the cell or outside the cell.
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is a system of interconnected flattened sacs that synthesizes and transports proteins and lipids within cells.
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): A system of interconnected membrane-bound sacs involved in protein synthesis and modification.
  • Golgi Apparatus modifies and packages proteins and lipids produced by the ER for transportation to other parts of the cell or outside the cell.
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): A system of interconnected membranous tubules and sacs involved in protein synthesis, modification, and transportation within cells.
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): A network of membranes involved in protein synthesis and lipid production.
  • Lysosomes: Contain digestive enzymes to break down waste materials within cells.
  • Golgi Apparatus: Modifies and packages proteins and lipids produced by the ER for transportation to other parts of the cell or outside the cell.
  • Golgi Apparatus: Modifies and packages proteins and lipids produced by ER.
  • Golgi Apparatus: Modifies and packages proteins and lipids produced by the ER into vesicles for transport to other parts of the cell or outside the cell.
  • Phospholipids have hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails.
  • Golgi Apparatus: Modifies and packages proteins and lipids produced by the ER for transport to other parts of the cell or outside the cell.
  • Cell membranes are made up of phospholipids, cholesterol, and proteins.
  • Lysosomes: Membrane-bound organelles filled with digestive enzymes used to break down waste materials and damaged organelles inside the cell.
  • Cell membranes are made up of phospholipids, cholesterol, and proteins.
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): A network of flattened sacs called cisternae that are involved in protein synthesis and lipid metabolism.
  • Lysosomes are small sac-like structures within eukaryotic cells that contain digestive enzymes.
  • Cholesterol helps maintain fluidity and stability of the membrane.
  • Lysosomes: Membranous vesicles filled with digestive enzymes used to break down waste materials within cells.
  • Chloroplasts are organelles found only in plants and algae that carry out photosynthesis.
  • Vacuoles store water, nutrients, and wastes within the cell.
