Eukaryotic Cell Identification : Animal Cell

Nucleus : Area where most of the genetic material is organized and expressed.

Nuclear Envelope : Double membrane that encloses the nucleus.

Nucleolus : Site for ribosome subunit assembly.

Chromatin : A complex of protein and DNA.

Plasma Membrane : Membrane that controls movement of substances into and out of the cell; site of cell signaling.

Ribosomes : Site of polypeptide synthesis.

Golgi Apparatus : Site of modification, sorting, and secretion of lipids and proteins.

Lysosome : Site where macromolecules are degraded.

Mitochondrion : Site of ATP synthesis.

Peroxisome : Site where hydrogen peroxide and other harmful molecules are broken down.

Microvilli

Cytoskeleton : Protein filaments that provide shape and aid in movement.

Microfilaments

Intermediate Filaments

Microtubules

Centrosome : Site where microtubules grow and centrioles are found.

Flagellum

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum : Site of protein sorting and secretion. Bound Ribosomes.

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum : Site of detoxification and lipid synthesis.

Lysosomes, Centrosomes, and Flagella.

Only Found in Animal Cells
