  • The cytoplasm contains various structures such as mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, centrioles, cytoskeleton, and vacuoles.
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is involved in lipid metabolism and transport of proteins within the cell.
  • Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell where ATP is produced through aerobic respiration.
  • Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.
  • The cytoplasm contains various structures such as ribosomes, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, centrioles, cytoskeleton, and vesicles.
  • The endoplasmic reticulum helps fold and modify proteins.
  • The nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing genetic material (DNA) that determines an organism's characteristics.
  • Mitochondria generate most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the chemical energy currency of cells.
  • Macbeth: (c.1005–57), king of Scotland 1040–57. He came to the throne after killing his cousin Duncan I in battle, and was himself defeated and killed by Malcolm III. Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth considerably embroiders the historical events.
  • Lysosome: Small membrane-bound sacs filled with digestive enzymes used to break down waste materials within the cell.
