Jellylike material between the cell membrane and the nucleus
|
Cytoplasm
|
|
|
Liquid portion of the cytoplasm
|
Cytosol
|
|
|
Found in eukaryotic cells
|
Cell organelles
|
|
|
Structures involved in making proteins, can be free floating or attacked to the endoplasmic reticulum
|
Ribosomes
|
|
|
Folded membranes within the cytoplasm; often attached to the nucleus.

Synthesizes lipids and does not have ribosomes attached. Also breaks down potentially harmful substances to the cell and stores calcium ions.
|
Smooth E.R.
|
|
|
Sphere shaped sac that transports materials to and from the cell membrane and cellular organelles
|
Vesicle
|
