Organelles are specialized structures found inside cells, such as mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles, cytoskeleton, centriole, and flagella/cilia.
The nucleus is the control center of the cell.
The cell wall provides support to plant cells and helps maintain their shape.
The cytoplasm contains organelles that carry out specific functions within the cell.
Peroxisomes break down toxic substances and produce hydrogen peroxide.
The plasma membrane separates the cytoplasm from the extracellular environment.
Plasma membranes surround all living cells and regulate what enters or exits the cell.
Ribosomes synthesize proteins.
Mitochondria produce energy through respiration.
Cell membranes have different functions depending on their location within an organism.
The cell membrane is the outermost layer that separates the contents of the cell from its surroundings.
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and are responsible for photosynthesis.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) transports materials within the cell.
Vacuoles store water, nutrients, waste products, pigments, and enzymes.
Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes used by the cell to recycle its own components or destroy invading pathogens.
Mitochondria generate energy through aerobic respiration.
Vacuoles store water, waste products, and other materials.
Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes used by the cell to recycle its own components.
Cytosol is the fluid portion of the cytoplasm where most chemical reactions take place.
Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms found everywhere on Earth.
Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes to recycle worn-out parts of the cell.
Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes to recycle worn-out parts of the cell.
Animal cells have no cell walls but contain centrioles involved in cell division.
Cells are the basic units of life, with different types serving various roles in multicellular organisms.

Cilia are hair-like projections on the surface of some cells that move back and forth to create movement.
Lysosomes break down old organelles and other materials within the cell.
Lysosomes break down old organelles and other materials within the cell.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) assists with protein production and transport.
Cilia are hair-like projections on the surface of some cells that move back and forth to create movement.
Animal cells are eukaryotic, meaning they contain a nucleus and other membranous structures called organelles.
Lysosomes break down substances inside cells using digestive enzymes.
Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells and convert sunlight into chemical energy.
Animal cells have no cell walls but contain centrioles involved in cell division.
Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells and convert sunlight into chemical energy.
Ribosomes synthesize proteins using information from DNA.
What is the function of microvilli in cells?
Increase the surface area of a cell to enhance absorption.
