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.
IntermediateFilaments provide structuralsupport 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
