Science

Nucleus:

  • Control center of the cell, contains DNA.

  • Regulates gene expression and coordinates cell activities.

Nucleolus:

  • Found within the nucleus.

  • Responsible for ribosome assembly.

Mitochondria:

  • Powerhouse of the cell, generates energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER):

  • Studded with ribosomes.

  • Involved in protein synthesis, folding, and transport.

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER):

  • Lacks ribosomes.

  • Synthesizes lipids, detoxifies drugs, and stores calcium ions.

Cell Membrane:

  • Outer boundary of the cell.

  • Controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

Cytoplasm:

  • Gel-like substance that fills the cell.

  • Provides a medium for cellular processes.

Ribosomes:

  • Site of protein synthesis.

  • Can be found free in the cytoplasm or attached to the ER.

Centrioles:

  • Found in animal cells.

  • Involved in cell division and formation of the spindle fibers.

Golgi Body:

  • Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for transport within or outside the cell.

Vesicle:

  • Membrane-bound sac involved in transport and storage of substances within the cell.

Lysosomes:

  • Contain digestive enzymes.

  • Break down waste materials, cellular debris, and foreign substances.

DNA (Chromatin):

  • Genetic material that carries instructions for cell function and inheritance.

Central Vacuole:

  • Found in plant cells.

  • Stores water, nutrients, and waste materials.

Chloroplast:

  • Found in plant cells.

  • Site of photosynthesis, converts sunlight into chemical energy.

Cell Wall:

  • Found in plant, fungal, and bacterial cells.

  • Provides structural support and protection.

Flagella:

  • Long, whip-like appendages.

  • Involved in cell movement.
