  • The nucleus is the control centre of the cell, containing genetic material (DNA) that controls all activities within the cell.
  • Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy through aerobic respiration.
  • The cytoplasm contains organelles such as mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles, cytoskeleton, and chloroplasts.
  • Ribosomes synthesize proteins using information from DNA.
  • Ribosomes synthesize proteins using instructions from DNA.
  • Ribosome - site of protein synthesis
  • Vacuoles store water, nutrients, and waste products.
  • Nucleolus - site of RNA synthesis
  • Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and are involved in photosynthesis.
  • Chromatin is made up of DNA wrapped around proteins called histones to form chromosomes.
  • Golgi Apparatus: Modifies and packages proteins and lipids produced by ER.
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): A network of membranes involved in protein synthesis and lipid production.
  • Lysosomes: Contain digestive enzymes to break down waste materials inside cells.
  • Golgi Apparatus: Modifies and packages proteins for export or storage.
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): A network of membranes involved in protein synthesis and transport.
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum - involved in transporting materials around the cell
  • Golgi Apparatus - modifies and packages substances produced by the cell
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is involved in the production and transport of lipids and proteins within cells.
  • Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes to break down waste products inside 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.
  • Cytoskeleton provides support to the cell and helps with movement.
  • Golgi Apparatus modifies and packages proteins for export or storage within the cell.
  • Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes that break down unwanted substances inside the cell.
  • Mitochondria produce energy through cellular respiration.
  • Mitochondria generate energy through cellular respiration.
  • Cell wall provides support to the plant cell.
  • Plant cells have a rigid cell wall made up of cellulose fibers that gives them shape and strength.
  • Lysosomes: Contain digestive enzymes that break down cellular debris and foreign substances.
  • Flagella and cilia are long extensions from the plasma membrane that aid in locomotion and moving fluids over surfaces.
  • Chloroplasts convert light energy into chemical energy during photosynthesis
  • Centrioles are composed of microtubules arranged in a cylindrical structure and are important during mitosis.
  • Microtubules are made up of tubulin protein, have a hollow core, and play a role in intracellular transport and maintaining cell shape.
  • Centrioles are found at opposite poles of animal cells during mitosis and meiosis.
  • Microfilaments are responsible for muscle contraction and cell division.
  • Intermediate Filaments provide structural support to the cell.
  • The nucleolus is involved in ribosome synthesis.
  • Nucleolus - site of ribosome synthesis
  • Mitochondria generate energy through aerobic respiration using oxygen from the air we breathe
  • Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy through cellular respiration.
  • Vacuole stores water, waste products, pigments, and enzymes that break down food molecules
