|
Nucleus
|
A membrane enclosed area of the cell containing the cell's genomic DNA.
|
|
|
Endoplasmic reticulum
|
An area of folded membranes frequently containing ribosomes where active protein synthesis occurs.
|
|
|
Cytoplasmic membrane
|
The semipermeable membrane that separates the functioning area of the cell from the cell's outer environment.
|
|
|
Golgi apparatus
|
An area of layers of folded membranes containing proteins for processing by the cell.
|
|
|
Microfilament
|
Very thin structural proteins that give the cell shape and are capable of contraction to give the cell membrane movement.
|
|
|
Microvilli
|
Finger-shaped outward projections of the cell membrane that increase the surface area of the membrane and are an important feature of nutrient absorption tissues.
|
|
|
Mitochondria
|
A membrane-enclosed area of the cell where intense cellular respiration activity produces ATP for use by the cell.
|
|
|
Lysosome
|
A membrane-enclosed vesicle containing digestive enzymes for use inside the cell.
|
|
|
Vacuole
|
A membrane-enclosed vesicle containing storage molecules such as starch or glycogen for later use by the cell.
|
|
|
Secretory vesicle
|
A membrane-enclosed vesicle containing proteins or other molecules for secretion by exocytosis.
|
|
|
Chloroplast
|
A membrane-enclosed area of plant cells and some microbial cells where photosynthesis occurs.
|
|
|
Cell wall
|
A structure outside of the cell membrane found in plants and microbes that give protection and rigidity to the cell.
|
|
|
Plasmids
|
Small pieces of non-genomic DNA found in bacteria.
|
|
|
Chromatin
|
Intra-nuclear complexes of DNA and protein.
