  • The cell membrane is a semi-permeable outer covering of cells that controls the entrance and exit of materials in the cell.
  • Phospholipids have hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails.
  • The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a network of folded membranes that help with various cellular functions such as the folding and transport of proteins, lipid synthesis, and calcium ion homeostasis.
  • Cell membranes are made up of phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins, and carbohydrates.
  • The nucleus contains the cell's DNA and acts as the control center of the cell. It regulates gene expression, cell division, and other functions.
  • The cell membrane is the outermost layer that surrounds all living cells.
  • Mitochondria are responsible for generating energy through cellular respiration.
  • The nucleus contains the cell's genetic material and controls the cell's activities.
  • Cellular respiration is the process by which glucose molecules are broken down to release energy, producing carbon dioxide and water as waste products.
  • Mitochondria are organelles found in eukaryotic cells responsible for generating ATP through aerobic respiration.
  • Glycolipids are carbohydrates attached to phospholipid molecules.
  • Ribosomes are small structures made up of RNA and protein molecules responsible for protein synthesis.
  • Lysosomes are small vesicles filled with digestive enzymes used to break down waste products within the cell.
  • Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes used to break down waste products within the cell.
  • Nucleoli are dense regions within the nucleus where ribosomal RNA molecules are produced.
  • Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis within the cell.
  • Vacuoles store water, nutrients, or waste products within the cell.
  • Cytoskeleton provides structural support and helps maintain cell shape.
