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.
