    • Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy through aerobic respiration.
    • The cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance surrounding the nucleus, containing organelles such as mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles, cytoskeleton, and chloroplasts.
    • The nucleus contains the genetic material (DNA) that controls all cellular activities.
    • The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis, modification, and transport of proteins within cells.
    • Ribosomes are small structures found in all living organisms that play a crucial role in protein synthesis.
    • Chromatin is made up of DNA wrapped around proteins called histones to form chromosomes.
    • Nucleolus - site of RNA synthesis
    • Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes that break down waste materials inside the cell.
    • Nucleolus is where RNA molecules are synthesized from DNA templates.
    • Ribosome - site of protein synthesis
    • Ribosomes are sites of protein synthesis.
    • Ribosomes are small structures found in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough ER where protein synthesis occurs.
    • Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes used by cells to break down waste materials.
    • Vacuoles store water, nutrients, and wastes inside plant cells.
    • Vacuoles store water, nutrients, pigments, and wastes inside plant cells.
    • Vacuoles store water, nutrients, and other substances needed by the cell.
    • Cytoskeleton provides structural support to the cell and helps with movement and division.
