cytoskeleton

provides the cell woth support and structure

chromosome

tightly coiled, bundled DNA

chromatin

Uncoiled, disorganized strands of DNA

cytoplasm

Includes the cell organelles and the cytosol

nucleus

Localizes the DNA and controls the functions of the cell

nucleolus

Site in nucleus where ribosomes are made

nuclear envelope

The double bilayer surrounding the nucleus

rough endoplasmic reticulum

Attached ribosomes are found here; protein synthesis

smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Lipid synthesis and breakdown

Golgi complex

Modifies and packages proteins (and lipids)

vesicles
